Rohit Sharma's net worth in 2025: Everything you need to know about Mumbai Indian's top-scorer

Pink Villa2 days ago
Rohit Sharma has swapped whites for wealth in a way few cricketers ever do. The Mumbai-born opener has amassed staggering earnings through match contracts, IPL retainers and high-value endorsements. While he officially stepped away from Test cricket earlier this year, his bank balance shows no sign of slowing down.
With annual central contracts, hefty per-match fees and luxury brand alliances, Sharma's financial portfolio is as diversified as his batting repertoire. Here's a closer look at how India's former Test skipper built his fortune—one run, one deal and one investment at a time.
On-field earnings and match fees
According to Mint, Sharma commands a Grade A+ central contract worth Rs 7 crore annually, plus match fees of Rs 15 lakh per Test and Rs 6 lakh per ODI. He was also retained by the Mumbai Indians for Rs 16 crore ahead of the 2022 IPL auction, ensuring a steady income even as Test duties wound down.
His total estimated net worth, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth and other sources, stands at 25 million dollars, which is approximately Rs 213 crore as of July 2025. His IPL haul remains among the highest in the league, matching his reputation as one of India's most reliable hitters.
Brand deals and investments
As reported by Sportskeeda, Sharma earns roughly Rs 5 crore per endorsement. His roster includes global names such as Adidas, Hublot and Oppo, alongside domestic campaigns for CEAT and IIFL Finance.
Off the pitch, he's invested in real estate—a 6,000 sq ft. apartment in Worli valued at around Rs 30 crore, per GQ India—and maintains a luxury car collection featuring a Lamborghini Urus and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Philanthropy and beyond
Sharma's wealth fuels more than personal comfort. He's long supported underprivileged children's cancer treatments and champions wildlife conservation as a WWF-India Rhino Ambassador. His Rohit4Rhinos campaign raises both funds and awareness, ensuring his impact extends well past stadium gates.

21 years after private firm staffer's death, kin to get his PF post 15-year legal battle

AHMEDABAD: Around 21 years after the death of private firm employee, Sureshchandra, his wife Varsha Shukla and their son Vikrant will receive his Provident Fund (PF), following a 15-year-long legal battle. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sureshchandra's other wife, Hinarani, and daughter Vilaspati had objected to Varsha's PF claim. Last week, city civil court granted a succession certificate to Varsha and Vikrant, stating the deceased employee's PF amount of over Rs 10 lakh should be handed over to them. Sureshchandra died in May 2004 without a will. In Jan 2009, Varsha received a letter from the commissioner of EPFO, informing her that Hinarani had claimed Sureshchandra's PF amount as his widow. When Varsha objected, EPFO insisted she obtain a succession certificate. In 2010, a city civil court ordered issuance of the certificate in their names. Hirarani and Vilaspati then moved Gujarat HC in 2016, claiming they were Sureshchandra's legitimate heirs. They argued that Varsha and Vikrant had suppressed details about pending litigation in UP, and wrongfully obtained the succession certificate. In 2017, HC quashed the succession certificate and directed the city civil court to decide the issue afresh after hearing both parties. Over time, Vilaspati remained the only objector to Varsha and Vikrant's claim. In 2022, the court was told Vilaspati had died and she had no heir. The court then allowed Varsha and Vikrant's application, ordering that they be paid the PF amount along with accrued interest.

Illegal flexes & banners: Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike pins hope on high court approval for advertisement zones

Bengaluru: Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which is struggling to manage illegal banners and flexes in the city, has pinned its hopes on the high court giving permission to establish designated zones for advertising. With illegal installations continuing to flood public spaces despite a blanket ban, penalties, and court orders prohibiting them, BBMP is hoping to impress upon the court to allow dedicated zones to enable better regulation. In the past 11 months alone, BBMP has removed more than 25,214 unauthorised banners and flexes, filed 448 FIRs, and collected Rs 4.1 lakh in fines. Yet, officials admit that enforcement has had little lasting impact. "We clear the banners today, and tomorrow they're back. It's a visibility problem — people want to be seen, even if it means breaking the law," said a BBMP official.

Fines as low as Rs 1,000 offer no real deterrent to repeat offenders. As part of a stronger crackdown, the civic body has proposed a 2024 Advertisement Bylaw, which includes dynamic fines calculated based on banner size and location — potentially doubling standard ad rates. The bylaw also proposes the introduction of legal advertising zones, modelled on Delhi's advertisement policy approved by the Supreme Court. These zones would allow limited placements on private property or wide roads, strictly excluding footpaths, medians, and trees. BBMP argues that legalising and regulating banners would reduce clutter, improve compliance, and generate civic revenue. The proposal remains stalled in court after the earlier 2018 bylaw was struck down as unconstitutional. The 2024 draft, filed in Jan, awaits judicial approval. "If passed, we'll finally have a system to regulate content and location. Until then, illegal flexes will keep appearing," the official added. While some banners are intended for public awareness or event promotion, BBMP says their placement often endangers pedestrians and degrades urban aesthetics. "Designated boards can balance public messaging with order and safety," the official said.

After no bidders, govt drops plan to set up 2.5k EV charging stations

Bengaluru: Citing poor response from private agencies, Karnataka has scrapped an ambitious plan to set up 2,500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the state under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. As an alternative, the govt has tasked Bescom with setting up 100 EV charging stations. Bescom will have to fund the estimated Rs 35-crore project. The decision was formalised through a govt order issued on June 16, following a detailed report from the managing director of Bescom, the project's nodal agency. N Shivashankar, Bescom MD, said the agency floated tenders six times but failed to attract bidders. "No one showed interest," he said. "Bescom will now continue to set up EV charging stations to encourage purchase of EVs in the state." You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru He said "many" EV charging stations were established under the PPP model in Bengaluru and that Karnataka currently leads the country with 5,879 EV charging stations as of March 28, 2025. Over 4,000 of these are in Bengaluru alone. The failed 2,500-station project was originally announced in the 2024-25 state budget. A previous attempt in 2023-24 to set up 585 stations in nine districts also fell through despite work orders being issued to select bidders in Oct 2023. In 2024-25, tenders were floated again to establish 605 stations across 22 districts, but no interest was shown in 18 districts and only one bidder came forward in the other four. In his report, Shivashankar cited five key reasons for the project's failure including lack of support from govt departments in helping private firms secure land. "The departments concerned did not cooperate with private agencies that received work orders to get required land for charging stations," he states. Additionally, limited EV penetration beyond Bengaluru was identified as a major deterrent. "The use of EVs is still not up to the mark in the state except in Bengaluru city. So private individuals did not turn up to establish charging stations," Shivashankar states.
