Family and early life
Sachin was born on 24 April 1973 at Nirmal Nursing Home in Dadar, Mumbai. His father, Ramesh Tendulkar, was a Marathi novelist and poet, and his mother, Rajni, worked in insurance. His half-brother Ajit introduced him to cricket and took him to coach Ramakant Achrekar, who shaped his early game.
He started out wanting to be a fast bowler before he focused on batting. He married Anjali in 1995, and the couple have two children, including son Arjun Tendulkar.
Cricket career and records
Tendulkar made his Test debut against Pakistan on 15 November 1989, at 16, and his ODI debut a month later. He went on to set records that still stand.

- ODIs: 463 matches, 18,426 runs, 49 centuries, best of 200 not out.

- T20Is: played just one, against South Africa in December 2006.
He announced his ODI retirement in December 2012 and retired from all cricket after his 200th Test, against the West Indies, in November 2013. In the IPL, he was Mumbai Indians’ icon player and captain in 2008, won player of the tournament in 2010 with 618 runs, and was named the team’s “Team Icon” in 2014 after retiring.
He was also a nominated Rajya Sabha member from April 2012 to April 2018.
Income sources: endorsements
Endorsements are the biggest part of his annual earnings. According to Outlook Business, his current and recent brand partners include Apollo Tyres, Tanishq, Luminous, Gillette, Ageas Federal Life Insurance and JioCinema, and he signed a new deal with Apollo Tyres in February 2026.
The same report, citing the Kroll celebrity brand valuation study, said his brand value rose 24% to $91.3 million. It also put his fee at Rs 7 crore to Rs 10 crore per endorsement day. These are reported figures, and the brands themselves do not disclose contract values.
Investments and business
Tendulkar has steadily moved his money into companies and new sectors. Reported investments include:
- Startups: Spinny and Unacademy.
- AZAD Engineering: a stake that grew in value as the company expanded into defence and clean energy.
- Truzon Solar: an investment of nearly $1 million in September 2025.
- Sectors: sports technology, clean energy and premium real estate.
Why net worth estimates differ
You will see very different numbers for Sachin Tendulkar’s net worth online. Most come from estimate websites that do not explain their method. Private investments, property values and endorsement fees are not public, so every figure is a best guess.
Use these numbers as a rough guide. The more useful facts are the ones that are reported: his brand list, his investments, his property and his brand value in valuation studies. Outlook Business also noted that some analysts expect his net worth to keep rising as his investments grow.
