What does Afridi make in a year?

[gibster82]

How much do you guys think Afridi earns in a year? Match Fees, endorsements etc.

I would think he is easily the highest paid cricketer in the country because of his commercial value. How much would you estimate his net worth at?

[Random Aussie]

Just as a comparison, Ricky Ponting earns more than $2 million AUD per year (before IPL money).
Shaun Tait made $600000 last year and he was not a regular member of the international side.
I'm betting Afridi would make nowhere near that - at some stage the disparity in payments for International players starts to hurt - see WI controversy at the moment.

The Contract "A" personnel earn $48192 USD, which is nothing.. You get more if you work as a low level beginner in any company. Afridi has a "B" Contract and he would earn $33732 per year.. So yeah, the pay for Pakistani cricketers can't even touch what Other cricketers get.

probably earns 10 times that amount through endorsements.
Contracted players earn in rupees too - which doesn't help.

i probably can say that he earns more from outside cricket than from within it.

Although with IPL.. He will be loaded!

Why not?

[gibster82]

I am more interested in what he earns outside of cricket...we all know what he makes in cricket...its common knowledge. HBL and endorsements too

Afridi charges Rs 2million for 2 minute commercial.. Basic PCB pay is miniscule as the board is poor..

Our Board is rich but because of some members policy in the board thats why players are not getting enough money compare to other countries.

I read in Cricinfo 1 or 2 years ago that Mohammad Yousaf's $ 85,000 (USD) Mercedes-Benz was damaged by some robbers in Lahore.

Anyone of you remember that incident?

That does not necessarily indicate that PCB is rich. It is quite possible that MoYo's sponsors and endorsement deals helped him get that.

Oh of course, I don't mean PCB is poor or something. Infact, none of the asian boards can be 'poor' as asia is the only continent where cricket lovers have high cricketing dose

I havn't seen any of Yousaf's endorsement and he also says by himself that he doesn't like this kind of stuff.

[BDfanforever]

$35000 US is not much but he is getting it in Rs and over there I believe spending money is quite less compared US. So, Rs 2,194,850 is not too bad.

[Savak]

So lets see what earns per year. He has a B contract so means that is Rs 125,000 per month. There is a match fee as well. Every senior player in addition to his central contract receives close to Rs 150,000-200,000 per ODI. For test matches the amount could be Rs 300,000. Then there is media, sponsorship money as well. Afridi has also signed up for IPL and Country Cricket. I dont think its wrong to say if you add everything together the amount can get close to $ 1 million a year from all his cricket income. Besides he has many family businesses as well. Mashallah he is extremely well off. Hats of to him for working hard and becoming one of the most sought after and highly demanded marketable cricketers today.

$48192 is nothing for you?? I am assuming you must be making some crazy amount of money. Because for a country like Pakistan that is an aweful lot of money. Keep in mind, in addition to that nothing amount these players received match fee and other sum for playing games. I think Afridi and all other players playing for national team are making really good money. An average worker in Pakistan earns about Rs 6000 per month. So you can figure out that these guys are getting very good money for Pakistani standards.

Agree.

Even if we leave sachin tendulkar, with a net worth estimated at USD 60 million, as an exception.

Last year, MS Dhoni, who has just had his first brush with stardom, paid USD 1.5 million as tax last year. Even players like rohit sharma and ishant, fresh as mint, have been snapped up by corporate house to endorse their products. besides, they get their match fees and IPL money which is absolutely sensational. Ishant has received almost a million USD.

In this age of media and TV it is nothing for an international star. Any one who appears regularly on TV and in media for what ever reason (other than crime etc) can and should earn more than that.

with 20,000 rupees in lahore, u can live luxuriously for atleast a month... i kid u not

that includes ofcourse if ur a visitor...u can live in the best hotel, rent the best car, eat the best food on offer...mmm whatelse?

[dblock]

It's difficult comparing various levels of payment for different countries, the Ricky Ponting example is useless, if Afridi earned the same amount in US $ as Ponting in Pakistan he would not only be rich but super rich as income levels are quite relative.

Plus on top of that he gets match fees (around $2500 per ODI), Pepsi money (every contracted player gets $22000 per year just for wearing the Pepsi logo), endorsements and IPL money.

So in total it will be a good $300,000 or so per year at least.

Thats crazy. $48192 *62.5=~Rs. 3mill. Thats about what Vice Presidents, CEOs and other senior executives in major companies earn in Pakistan. Starting pay for graduates is around Rs. 10,000/m or 120,000 per annum in Pakistan. He's earning a tidy sum from the board alright. It may be much less than what cricketers in other countries make but its much much more than pay for a "low level beginner in any company"

where did you arrive at the figure? Just yesterday I saw on Aaj Tak, that even this late in his career, Sachin earns around $15 milion( 50 to 60 crores) per year, so I am sure his networth is much higher than what you quoted.

Yes I think $60 mill is what he was earning per year during his peak years. I remember it being compared favourably to F1 driver Shumacher's pay packet.

[pakistani pride]

Wow

[rauled]

Tendulkar signed a 300 crore 5 yr contract just recently, before this it was a 100 crore 5 year deal , and before that a 30 crore 5 year deal, done by WorldTel.

He's definately worth about 120 million USD, fore sure.

[rauled]

http://www.indiaexpress.com/news/spo...0070405-0.html

"Earlier this year, Canon had signed a three-year contract with Tendulkar, who is reported to command an estimated Rs 6-7 crore annual fee per endorsement and has about a dozen such contracts with various brands"

Even assuming somewhere between 6-7 crores for a dozen brands, that works out to be something like 75 crore for a year (or 375 crore in 5 years, more than the 300 crore he was promised by his agent company), add to that the 3 crore that he earns in his BCCI contract plus the match fees ,thats 78 crore Indian rupees a year or about $19.5 million annually.

[DHONI183]

I seriously don´t know how much he earns in a year, but as far as "making" is concerned it´s got to be something like: 170 runs .

[Wazeeri]

I would guess he would be in the range of £200,000 - 300,000
Shoaib Akhtar probably earns two three times as much.

From one of the Indian news channels I remember that SRT was recorded as earning hitting the 700 m rupees (70 carore) mark in 2007 which was his highest earning year. That's about 8/9 millions pounds so 16/18 million dollars(Times of India put it at $30m). I would guess his net worth is less that a 100 million dollars because the cricketers really started earning millions in the mid 2000's.

[india_fan]

Indian cricketers have so many options of pocketing some big bucks through sponsors, endorsement deals. If you watch Indian TV channels you will notice that every 3rd advertisement features Indian cricketer.

Indian film stars and cricketers have head on collisions when it comes to endorsing a brand.

[SameerM]

in pakistan we just abuse them and say how crap they are... we dont like egos

Not sure about that. Sachin's first multi-million deal came under Late Mark Mascarenhas's WorldTel and that was way back in 1995. It was a 3 year contract for 30 crores and created quite a ripple.

The happy news is that even a first class cricketer in India earns approximately 20 lacs per season. It's a good incentive for youngsters to consider cricket as a viable career.

Why do you think Shoaib earns more?

Shoaib overall has more endorsements than Afridi. See him more on TV adverts over here and in Asia than Afridi. Afridi tends to have his face on billboards but I rarely see him on TV, unlike Shoaib.

True, Shoaib was on a Pepsi ad in Pakistan last year wasn't he?
