VVS’s worth is somewhere near 100 crores as of 2025. That seems to be quite an amount, but even now, he has retained that calm, thoughtful persona that fans would watch throughout his career on the cricket field.
A Cricket Career that was Full of Heart, Rather than Hype
Watching Laxman bat always felt different. There was nothing flashy, no unnecessary aggression – just timing, grace, and this confident stillness at the crease. And then there is this 281 against Australia in 2001, talked about so often it almost feels like a generational tale.
Most of these early major sources of income came from match fees, the BCCI contract, and a few years in the IPL. Now, honestly, his value to Indian cricket could never be calculated with the help of money. It was in moments, and he gave plenty of them.
Post Retirement: Still Very Much Buffed as a Cricket Man
When he retired in 2012, unsurprisingly, he went straight to the commentary box. Somehow, his voice suited the genre-it was steady, easy to listen to, and intelligent enough to have a cognizant opinion without being too clever.
He later became the head of the National Cricket Academy, which somehow felt like a natural progression. He is the kind of person who is trusted by youngsters without any second thought. The NCA pays him, along with some ad-hoc mentorship tasks on international tours, a quite large chunk of his current earnings.
Lifestyles That Mates with Devoid of His Personality
Another thing about Laxman is that he has never flaunted what he possesses. His house in Hyderabad is rather lived in than exhibiting that showroom-like fancy. His is practically comfortable automobile choices, not ones that would have come to mind for someone who could go to town big or bold.
His investments are also typical of someone who prefers stability over risks: mutual funds, fixed deposits, long-term saving plans. Fits who he is.
He`s doing some charitable work as well, but there too, he doesn’t eve broadcast it much. Whether it’s education or between cleaning drives or the welfare of animals, he is seen around providing assistance quietly.
A Legacy That Isn’t about Money at All
Laxman’s wealth – the correct kind of wealth – is not one you can quantify. It’s visible in the words by which young batsmen talk about him. It’s palpable in the memories fans have from his innings. His net worth may hover around Rs 100 crore today, but the memories all speak of the grace he brought-not just to cricket, but also how it looks in life.
