On the field, they’ve taken Bangladesh cricket to heights few thought possible. Besides that, they have built businesses, signed blockbuster endorsement deals and made money that puts them among the wealthiest sportspeople in South Asia. Here’s a glimpse of the top five richest Bangladeshi cricketers and the empires behind the numbers.
1. Shakib Al Hasan Net Worth: $66 million
There’s no close second. Shakib Al Hasan is the richest Bangladeshi cricketer by far. His net worth is estimated to be $66 million, the most of any Bangladeshi sportsperson. His money comes from all angles. He has the most number of product endorsements among Bangladeshi cricketers, including Grameenphone, Daraz, Yamaha, Asian Paints, Gulf Oil Bangladesh and many more. His business interests include restaurants, the stock market, power generation, cosmetics and fish farming. Take into account IPL, BPL, PSL, CPL and Big Bash deals over a 20-year career, and the math is daunting.
2. Tamim Iqbal – Estimated Net Worth $20 Million
Tamim Iqbal’s estimated net worth is $20 million, which is almost equal to 250 crore Bangladeshi Taka. Bangladesh’s greatest ever opening batter comes from an established family and has continued to build on that platform through BCB contracts, sponsorships, commentary work and business interests that have slowly been accumulated over a long international career.
3. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza — Net worth: $9–42 million
Mashrafe’s finances are the most difficult to pin down – and that range reflects the uncertainty around his political-era wealth. His confirmed earnings are from national team contracts, IPL stints with Kolkata Knight Riders, domestic cricket and advertisement deals. Even after retirement, the former captain and elected MP for Narail-2 remains one of Bangladesh’s most marketable sporting personalities.
