Lionel Messi: Lionel Messi, one of the biggest stars of the football world, is in India these days. His last stop is Delhi. Messi is not only the biggest star of football but also one of the biggest aristocrats of that game. You can estimate his total earning from the fact that not only one but the seven richest cricketers of Indian cricket including Virat, Sachin, Dhoni, etc., are nowhere near him. Even if we add up the net worth of all the 7 richest players of Indian cricket, Messi alone seems to be standing far ahead of them in terms of earnings.
How much does Messi earn?
Now the question is, how much does Messi earn? According to a report, the total earnings of Argentina’s star footballer i.e. his net worth is Rs 7055 crore. That is, almost double the total net worth of BCCI, the richest board of cricket. Well, here we are comparing Messi’s net worth with those 7 stars of Indian cricket, who are also the richest cricketers in the country.
These are the 7 richest cricketers of India
According to media reports, the first name among the 7 richest cricketers of the country is Ajay Jadeja, whose net worth is Rs 1450 crore. Sachin Tendulkar is at second place, whose total income is Rs 1415 crore. MS Dhoni is at third place with Rs 1060 crore. Whereas Virat Kohli is at fourth place with Rs 1040 crore. Sourav Ganguly’s net worth is Rs 800 crore. Whereas Rohit Sharma has a net worth of Rs 240 crore. And, after all this comes Shubman Gill, whose total earnings are said to be Rs 130 crore.
Messi earns more than 7 richest cricketers in India
Now if we add the total earnings of these 7 richest cricketers of India, then the total net worth will be Rs 5895 crore. That means still less than Messi’s net worth. Messi’s net worth is Rs 7055 crore. Now if we subtract the total earnings of 7 Indian cricketers together, then it comes to light that Messi still earns Rs 1160 crore more than all of them.
Just as Virat, Dhoni, Sachin have been superstars and shining faces of world cricket. Similarly, Messi is a football superstar. But, the difference in the total earnings of Messi and the 7 richest cricketers of India also shows that how much more money is there in football than in cricket?
