The enigmatic Virat Kohli is everywhere these days.
He is the subject matter of rap videos and dorm room conversations. Step in a movie hall and he’s on the big screen endorsing an apparel brand. Log into social media and you’re more than likely to stumble on a messages from the Indian captain.
In every sense of the word, the man is well and truly ubiquitous.
Over the past couple of years, in keeping with his superhuman performances, his popularity has skyrocketed. And the cash registers have been ringing on overdrive.

In 2017, he is expected to earn close to $30 Million – all from contracts (IPL and BCCI) and endorsements.
This makes him the highest paid cricketer in the world at the moment. At 28 years of age, he has the world at his feet.
With passion in his heart and clear cut goals, Virat Kohli has everything going for him. And with plenty of reserves in the bank, he can practically pay his way to most pleasures of life.
Here are 10 such worldly pleasures that “millionaire” Virat Kohli can indulge in.
#10 The world’s most expensive coffee
Kopi Luwak is not your regular everyday blend of coffee. At US$3,000 per kgs, it is the most expensive form of coffee produced on the planet. And there is a peculiar reason as to why it is this expensive.
Kopi Luwak is produced from the excreta of a cat-like Indonesian mammal called civet. The civet feeds on the ripest of coffee cherries. While the coffee cherries and pulp are digested, the coffee beans are not and is excreted by the mammal. The digestion process apparently causes a fermentation that provides a unique flavour to the coffee.
Social media posts have shown Virat Kohli sipping black coffee. While it’s unclear what brand he prefers, Kopi Luwak is surely one that he can consider.
#9 The most expensive haircut in the world
Ken Modestou is a well know hair stylist. But when you get him to fly around the world to give you a haircut, he charges a hefty fee. The Sultan of Brunei found out exactly how much when he had Modestou flown down all the way from London to give him a haircut.
At $23,000, the fee includes charges for the haircut itself and the return first-class airfare.
Virat Kohli is always well groomed and is never shy of experimenting with his hairstyle. And with an annual income of close to $30 Million, he surely can afford for Modestou to fly down for a personal grooming session.
#8 The most expensive suit in the world
At $892,500, the Stuart Hughes Diamond Edition suits are the most expensive in the world. They are made of wool, silk and cashmere and take over 800 hours to design and stitch.
As it turns out, there are just three of these in the world.
Always impeccably dressed, Virat Kohli can surely be tempted into buying one of these.
#7 The most expensive pair of sandals in the world
When Ruby Slippers recreated the pair of sandals created for “The Wizard of Oz” 50 years after the release of the movie, the estimated price shocked the world.
At US$3 Million, the creation is the world’s most expensive pair of shoes.
And why does it bear the price tag – it’s got 50 carat diamonds and 4,600 rubies.
If Virat Kohli were to ever go the distance to surprise the love of his life, this could well be one of those things he could spend his money on.
#6 The most expensive drink in the world
The Indian skipper recently confessed to indulging in a drink or two on a regular basis before he took the stand to get fitter.
When he eventually hangs up his boots, there's one particular drink that might be of interest to him.
At $3.7 Million, the Billionaire Vodka is the most expensive vodka in the world. In addition to promising a unique taste, the bottle containing the drink is encrusted with 3000 diamonds.
This could surely be in an investment worthy of Virat Kohli’s money.
#5 A trip to space
This one is well and truly far fetched.
But for approximately $45 to $50 Million, Virat Kohli could buy a ticket on the Soyuz spacecraft for a two-week vacation to the International Space Station (ISS).
In 2001, Dennis Tito, the world’s first “space tourist”, paid $20 Million for an eight-day trip aboard the ISS.
#4 One of the fastest supercars in the world
The Koenigsegg Agera is one of the fastest production cars in the world. With a top speed of 439 km/hr and an acceleration of 0-100 km/hr in 2.8 seconds, it is sure to delight those that like life in the fast lane.
At close to $2 Million, it is also one of the most expensive cars in the world.
Virat Kohli loves his cars and owns an Audi R8 and Renault Duseter 110PS among others. Surely, he can afford a Koenigsegg Agera.
#3 An island
When Christiano Ronaldo bought his agent an island, it shocked several in the business. Sir Richard Branson owns one and there are several others around the world that can be bought by millionaires.
The Bahamas offers several islands for prospective buyers. Devils Clay is one such island up for grabs at $7.9 Million.
Would Virat Kohli be tempted to buy one of the several on offer across the Caribbean – only time will tell.
#2 The most expensive sunglasses in the world
When on the field or off of it, Virat Kohli loves his eyewear. And with his net worth providing him with the wearwithal to buy the best on offer, this one could well be something that we could see him buy.
Priced at $400,000, the Chopard Sunglasses is studded with 51 full cut river diamonds and sports arms made of 24k karat gold.
There’s just one problem though. The image we found seems to suggest that the sunglasses are designed for women.
Another for the beau, we would imagine.
#1 President Trump’s helicopter
With his private jet, one of President Trump’s most famous possession is his Sikorsky S-76D helicopter.
With the words “Trump” engraved on it, it’s an iconic representation of power and wealth. At close to $10 Million, the helicopter is well and truly the possession of the world’s elite.
If a trip to space could make the list, we weren’t going to pass the chance of listing President Trump’s helicopter.
