On Tuesday, the World Index published a list of the top 10 richest cricketers in the world as of 2023. Adam Gilchrist, a former player for Australia, topped the list ahead of Virat Kohli, Ricky Ponting, and Sachin Tendulkar. He is estimated to have a net worth of $380 million.

Gilchrist's net worth is $110 million higher than Sachin Tendulkar's, who is projected to have a $170 million net worth, and $268 million more than Virat Kohli, who is considered to have a net worth of $115 million. Other Australians on the list include Ricky Ponting, whose net worth is listed as $75 million, and Steve Smith, whose net worth is listed as $30 million.

Is Gilchrist actually the wealthiest Cricketer in the world?

Yet F45, a global chain of fitness centres, is the reason for Gilchrist's wealth, which was previously mentioned. It's interesting to note that Adam Gilchrist is the company's CEO and one of the richest persons in the world. The CEO of F45 gained notoriety when, in 2022, he made about $500 million and listed his business on the New York Stock Exchange.

He is not, though, the former Australian player. In actuality, they have absolutely nothing to do with one another. It is unknown how much money cricketer Adam Gilchrist is worth.

Gilchrist played for Australia in 96 Tests, 287 ODIs, and 13 T20 Internationals throughout his career, scoring 5570, 9619, and 272 runs in those formats, respectively. With 905 wicket keeping dismissals, he holds the second-highest dismissal total of any keeper. In 1999, 2003, and 2007 World Cup victories, Adam Gilchrist was part of the squad on all occasions.

Everyone assumed when such a list which included the names of cricketers with the highest net worth, it would see the name of Virat Kohli or Mahendra Singh Dhoni on the top of the list, but that wasn’t the case. The world index hasn’t given out a statement regarding the details of Adam Gilchrist’s net worth or whether it was a big mistake by them.

Pretty pretty sure, Kohli’s net worth has been underquoted by a big margin. He is worth a lot more. He charges a million dollar just for an Instagram post.

Not sure about Gilly, But MSD definitely has more investments to get him to Top 10?

NOT the cricketer Adam Gilchrist. It's difficult to beat Indian cricketers in the richest cricketers list.
