On 7 July 2025, Mahendra Singh Dhoni celebrated his 44th birthday. Rising from humble beginnings in Ranchi, Dhoni has carved out a legendary career in Indian cricket — not just as one of its most successful captains, but also as one of the richest and most admired athletes in the country.

Since making his international debut in 2004, he has led India to three major ICC titles and earned a permanent place in the hearts of millions. But beyond the cricket pitch, Captain Cool has also made a name for himself as a savvy entrepreneur.

Although Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020, his earnings show no signs of slowing down.

According to recent reports, his net worth is estimated at over ₹1040 crore as of 2025. His income includes over ₹204 crore from the IPL, along with massive earnings from endorsements, with his brand value pegged at around ₹803 crore.

MS Dhoni is not just a cricketer — he’s now a multi-industry businessman, actively involved in ventures ranging from agriculture to education.

Dhoni owns a large farmhouse in Ranchi, where he grows strawberries, vegetables, and other fruits, which are distributed across the country.

Dhoni launched ‘Seven’, a sports apparel and footwear brand, where he also serves as brand ambassador.

Located in Ranchi, his hotel ‘Mahi Residency’ is well-known and widely visited by fans and locals.

Expanding into education, Dhoni has established the MS Dhoni Global School in Bengaluru, aiming to provide high-quality learning infrastructure.

Through his investment in 7Ink Brews, Dhoni supports the ‘Copter7’ line of chocolates and beverages, inspired by his iconic helicopter shot.

In recognition of his international career — 90 Tests, 350 ODIs, and 98 T20Is — Dhoni receives a monthly pension of ₹70,000 from the BCCI. From a wicketkeeper-batsman to a national icon and now a flourishing entrepreneur, MS Dhoni’s journey is the perfect blend of grit, glory, and growth.
