A Rising Star in Women's Cricket
Traditionally, cricket has been dominated by male players, but the Women's Premier League (WPL) has significantly elevated the status of female cricketers.
Now, women cricketers are increasingly competing with their male counterparts in terms of earnings. A prime example is Ellyse Perry, the Australian cricket sensation, who ranks among the wealthiest female cricketers globally.
Net Worth of 115 Crores
Ellyse Perry boasts an impressive net worth of approximately $14 million (around 115 crores). Not only is she affluent, but she is also known for her striking looks. Despite her fame, she prefers to keep her personal life private, although it often piques public interest. Currently, she is in a new relationship after her divorce from rugby player Matt Toomua in 2020, with whom she was married for five years.
New Relationship After Divorce
The reasons behind her divorce remain undisclosed. Three years post-separation, Ellyse is now dating football player Nate Fyfe, who is a year younger than her. Nate has been seen cheering for her during the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), and their happiness was evident during these moments. They were also spotted together in the Dockers' change room after Nate's 200th game against Hawthorn.
Love Blossoms
Rumors of their relationship surfaced in 2022, initially suggesting they were just friends. However, they have since evolved into a couple. At 32 years old, Ellyse Perry is currently playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the WPL 2023. Notably, she has been part of the Australian team during every T20 World Cup victory from 2010 to 2023.
A Record-Breaking Career
Throughout her illustrious career, Ellyse has contributed to her team's success in eight World Cups, six T20 World Cups, and two One Day World Cups. She was also part of the historic team that won a gold medal at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Remarkably, she debuted for both the national cricket and football teams at just 16, making her the youngest Australian to achieve this feat.
Trailblazer in Sports
Ellyse Perry is the first female athlete to participate in both the ICC and FIFA World Cups. She excels as both a batswoman and a fast bowler, earning her the title of all-rounder. In addition to cricket and football, she also played tennis, athletics, and golf during her school years, joining the ranks of legends like Kapil Dev and Wasim Akram.
