Rinku Singh or Priya Saroj – Who Earns More After Marriage?

Engagement of Two Stars: Sports Meets Politics

Famous Indian cricketer Rinku Singh and Member of Parliament Priya Saroj recently got engaged in a grand ceremony at a hotel in Lucknow. Their wedding is scheduled for 18 November in Varanasi at the luxurious Taj Hotel.

The event was attended by big names like Akhilesh Yadav, former cricketer Piyush Chawla, and Praveen Kumar. Rinku and Priya come from very different professional backgrounds—cricket and politics, and so do their incomes.

So, who brings home the bigger paycheck after marriage?

How Much Does Rinku Singh Earn?

Rinku Singh has become a rising star in Indian cricket. According to reports, his total net worth is between ₹8 to ₹18 crore.

From IPL 2023, he earned ₹55 lakh per season from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
But for IPL 2025, KKR retained him for a whopping ₹13 crore!
That’s a jump of almost 24 times from his previous salary.

Rinku also has a Grade C contract with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which gives him ₹1 crore per year.

For each T20 match, he earns ₹3 lakh.
He also makes ₹50–60 lakh annually through advertisements, according to some sources, which may go up to ₹3 crore.

He owns a luxury house in Aligarh, worth more than ₹3 crore, along with a few cars and land.

How Much Does Priya Saroj Earn?

Priya Saroj, an MP from the Samajwadi Party, comes from a political background and earns a government salary.

As an MP, her basic monthly salary is ₹1 lakh.
With all the allowances, she receives around ₹1.5–2 lakh per month.

Her declared total assets are around ₹11.25 lakh, which includes:

₹75,000 in cash
₹10.1 lakh in a Union Bank account
₹8,719 in a Canara Bank account
5 grams of gold worth around ₹32,000

Comparison – Who Earns More?

Clearly, Rinku Singh earns much more than Priya Saroj. His IPL and BCCI earnings, brand deals, and assets make him one of the wealthiest young cricketers in India.

But both Rinku and Priya bring something equally valuable to the relationship—love, respect, and success in their own fields.
