Back in 2016, Chris Gayle was worth about $16 million US, however, fast forward to 2024, the Jamaican iconic cricketer is worth almost triple that amount. Gayle’s brand value has risen by about 42 percent in recent years according to our source.
As reported by sportskeeda.com, nowadays, Gayle is worth an estimated $45 million(USD) or £35 million(GBP) or $7 Billion(JMD), thanks to his very successful cricketing career and lucrative business ventures over the years.
The flamboyant 44-year-old is known to be a world traveller, however, when he’s not in India or Australia for Cricket or Europe for F1 Racing or in the US for the Superbowl, he seeks refuge in his $2.5 million(USD) home located in St. Andrew, Jamaica.
Gayle is known to host lavish parties at his hillside mansion which has a strip club inside, a games room, and a pool amongst other attractions.
Chris Gayle, also known as ‘The Universe Boss’ for his spectacular performance in cricket, only has one child named Kris-Allyna.
Usain Bolt and Chris Gayle are known to be the most successful Jamaican sports persons with both opening a restaurant of their own that is well known locally, Usain Bolt’s Tracks & Records and Triple Century Sports Bar.
Both sportsmen are also known to be good friends with Gayle often challenging Bolt online to a race that we are yet to see.
The Jamaican heavy-hitting batsman holds several records in Cricket, he hit the fastest-ever T20 century and the highest score ever in T20 history, scoring a remarkable 175 runs from 66 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore.

At the moment, it’s unclear if Gayle will play cricket professionally again because he has not officially retired, however, he has not played professionally since 2022. In a recent statement, he stated, “I’m now semi-retired, so, it has to be a good offer to get me on the field in India again; but, I love the game and mentoring young players there.”
