Rinku Singh's net worth in 2024 is estimated to be around Rs 7-8 crore. His monthly income is approximately Rs 5 lakh, while his annual earnings stand at Rs 60 lakh. The bulk of his income comes from his IPL salary, along with BCCI contracts and brand endorsements. 

Rinku earned his IPL debut with Punjab Kings in 2017, following standout performances in domestic circuit. He later joined Kolkata Knight Riders. In 2023, the star batter made headlines with his sensational batting, famously hitting five consecutive sixes in the final five balls to secure a thrilling victory for KKR.

This season, IPL franchises made bold decisions by releasing several high-profile Indian and overseas players, opting to invest in uncapped or inexperienced Indian talent. Despite leading Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title, captain Shreyas Iyer was let go by the franchise. On the other hand, power-hitter Rinku Singh was retained by KKR for Rs 13 crore.
