Viv Richards, a former cricketer from the West Indies, has amassed a net worth of $20 million. Born in St. Johns, Antigua and Barbuda in March 1952, Richards is celebrated as one of cricket’s finest batsmen ever. Renowned for his exceptional skill, he was honored as one of the top five Cricketers of the Century by a panel of 100 experts in 2000.
Richards played for various teams during his illustrious career, including Somerset (1974-1986), Leeward Islands (1971-1991), and Combined Islands (1971-1978). His international career with the West Indies showcased his prowess, accumulating nearly 17,000 runs in 500 matches. Notably, he declined a substantial offer to play for a rebel West Indies team in South Africa during the Apartheid era.
In addition to his playing career, Richards has contributed as a commentator on BBC’s Test Match Special and served as a mentor for the Delhi Daredevils in 2013. For his immense contributions to cricket, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1994 and knighted as a National Hero by Antigua and Barbuda in 1999.
