Pat Cummins is an Australian fast bowler and the captain of Australia's Test and one-day teams. He grew up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, made his Test debut at 18 in 2011, and after several years lost to back injuries returned to become one of the best fast bowlers in the world. As captain he led Australia to the World Test Championship and the 50-over World Cup in 2023.

The Financial Review Young Rich List 2026 estimated his wealth at A$54 million, about $38 million at the October 29, 2026 exchange rate. It was his first appearance on the list, at No. 96, and the AFR noted that his fortune includes property and start-up stakes as well as cricket income.

How he made his money

Most of Cummins' income has come from cricket. He holds a top-tier Cricket Australia contract, and the Indian Premier League has paid him handsomely: Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for ₹15.5 crore in the 2020 auction, and Sunrisers Hyderabad paid ₹20.5 crore, then about A$3.1 million, in 2024 and made him captain.

The AFR said his fortune also rests on property and on early bets outside sport. He was an early backer of Everlab, an Australian preventative health start-up, and he is a part-owner of Old Mates, an Australian-themed pub in New York. Sponsorship deals add to that, as they do for most national captains.

About this estimate

The Financial Review Young Rich List ranks the 100 richest Australians aged 40 and under. It is compiled by the Australian Financial Review, which estimates each person's wealth from business stakes, property and other assets it can identify. The 2026 edition put Cummins at No. 96 with A$54 million. The full list sits behind the AFR's paywall, so we read the figure in the AFR's own feature on the list's newcomers and checked the ranking against the media release from Nine, which publishes the AFR. Nine's release described him as buoyed by commercial earnings and early tech investments.

We show the figure exactly as published, in Australian dollars, with a rough US dollar conversion at the October 29, 2026 exchange rate. Contract values mentioned on this page are future pay, not wealth he already has, and they are not the same as his net worth.
