You probably already know him – Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India’s amazing captain, and wicket-keeper batsman. He’s achieved legendary status in the world of cricket, and it’s easy to see why when you look at his impressive stats. However, it’s Dhoni’s leadership skills that truly stand out.

In 2015, Dhoni reached the 23rd spot on the world’s highest-paid athletes list. He had an estimated earning of Rs 216 crore. However, the BCCI has recently revised the annual player contracts between October 2018 and September 2019.

In addition to BCCI, Mahi is also a player for Chennai Super Kings and has been kept on for his INR 15 crore IPL salary contract as the team’s captain.
Though his bat has slowed, Mahi is scoring big on television screens. Mahi has been endorsing several brands such as Colgate, RedBus, Bharat Matrimony, GoDaddy, Snickers, Netmeds.com, MasterCard India, Dream 11, Zed Black Agarbatti, and many others. Sources state that MS Dhoni makes over Rs 195 crore from these endorsements.
Apart from cricket, MS Dhoni is a successful businessman who co-owns Ranchi Rays, a hockey club based in Ranchi and owns Chennaiyin FC, a football club based in Chennai, in the Indian Super League. Besides, he has also partnered with South Indian film superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna and brought a Supersport World Championship team: Mahi Racing Team India. He also owns a hotel named Hotel Mahi Residency. Dhoni, a fitness enthusiast, has established 200 gyms nationwide under SportsFit. Additionally, he serves as the ambassador for SEVEN, a lifestyle brand he launched in February 2016. Dhoni is well-known for his passion for motorcycles, and his garage boasts an impressive collection, including Ducati 1098, Confederate Hellcat X 132, Enfield Machismo, Kawasaki Zx14r Ninja, and Harley Davidson Fat Boy. He also has possession of several luxurious cars.
Without a doubt, with such a high caliber of talent and success, the money Gods will always shower wealth on him.
