Gilchrist’s net worth is $110 million higher than Sachin Tendulkar’s, who is projected to have a $170 million net worth, and $268 million more than Virat Kohli, who is considered to have a net worth of $115 million. Other Australians on the list include Steve Smith, whose net worth is listed as $30 million, and Ricky Ponting, whose is listed as $75 million.
The real story
Gilchrist’s name is discovered to be on the list as a result of F45. It should be emphasized that F45 is a global chain of fitness centers, and its CEO is one of Australia’s wealthiest people. CEO Adam Gilchrist is his name. He is not, however, an Australian cricketer.
But nonetheless, F45, a global chain of fitness centers, is the reason for Gilchrist’s wealth. It’s interesting to note that Adam Gilchrist is the company’s CEO and one of the richest people in the world. The CEO of F45 gained notoriety when, in 2022, he made about $500 million and listed his business on the New York Stock Exchange. He is not, though, the former Australian player. In actuality, they have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Adam Gilchrist, the cricket player, has an unknown net worth.
Gilchrist clarified it on Twitter saying that he is not the Adam Gilchrist that is mentioned in the list given by the World Index. He said that it is a case of a ‘mistaken identity’.

A case of mistaken identity here folks. Unless of course my namesake who founded F45 played cricket, in which case it’s completely accurate #doyourresearch #fakenews #yasafesachin
