Kapil Dev remains one of the most celebrated figures in Indian cricket, not just for his career but for changing the country’s sporting belief forever. As the captain of India’s historic 1983 World Cup triumph, Kapil inspired a generation. Widely regarded as India’s greatest fast-bowling all-rounder, he finished his career with 434 Test wickets and over 5,000 Test runs. His past success and stature have reflected on his net worth, making him one of the richest cricketers.

The BCCI provides monthly pensions to former international and first-class cricketers as post-retirement support. As a former India captain and Test cricketer, Kapil Dev falls under the highest pension bracket. In 2022, when the BCCI enhanced pension amounts, Kapil publicly welcomed the decision, stating that it would help the families of many former players. However, Kapil was earlier excluded from certain BCCI benefits, including a one-time monetary payout, due to his association with the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and his refusal to accept the BCCI’s amnesty at the time.

Legendary skipper Kapil Dev has made him one of Indian sport’s most celebrated icons, even decades after retirement. He endorses a wide range of brands across sectors, including AIPL ABRO, Palmolive, Boost, Shubhashish Homes, Cred, My11Circle, Novo Nordisk India, SRMB Steel, and Disney+ Hotstar. His endorsement deals are reportedly valued between INR 20 lakh and INR 30 lakh per brand annually.

Furthermore, Kapil Dev’s wealth is strengthened by diversified income streams. He earns from television commentary, public appearances, and business ventures such as his sports-themed restaurant chain, Kapil Dev’s Eleven. He has also invested in sports lighting, fitness, and hospitality businesses. Additionally, his major payout from the film 83 further boosted his net worth. Altogether, Kapil Dev reportedly earns around INR 12 crore annually.

The 1983 World Cup–winning captain resides in a lavish bungalow in Sundar Nagar, one of New Delhi’s most elite neighbourhoods. The property has also hosted Kapil's ex-players, including a gathering of his 1983 World Cup teammates in 2023. Notably, he also owns a house in Chandigarh.

Meanwhile, Kapil Dev’s impressive car collection is valued at over INR 10 crore. He owns a Porsche Panamera, a luxury sports sedan powered by a 4.0L V8 twin-turbo engine producing around 550 horsepower. His garage also features premium SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLS 350 D, Mercedes C220D, Toyota Fortuner, and Jeep Compass. He also has a Nissan Leaf electric car, gifted by Nissan India.
