Kevin Pietersen Net Worth
Rich professional cricket player Kevin Pietersen started his career in late 1990’s. During the years his value as a player increased and his salaries guaranteed to him by several contracts reflected that. As of 2015, his net worth reached amazing number $7.5 million. Let’s take a closer look at his career and how he spent some of his fortune.
Kevin was born 27 June 1980 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Since it is a former British colony, the popularity of cricket is self explanatory. His parents led Kevin to cricket since young age. Pietersen pursued his college degree at Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg. When he was only 17, he joined Natal B first-class cricket team.
Pietersen dated a famous singer Jessica Taylor from pop group Liberty X for a while. In 2007, the couple got married. Jessice gave birth to a son in 2010. With Pietersen’s high net worth it’s no wonder that the family can afford some real estate in prestigious location. They purchased a luxury apartment in fifth floor of a new building close to Wandsworth Bridge. It has an amazing view on the river.
In 2014, Kevin and his wife Jessica opened a hair saloon in Notting Hill that was oriented on a specific clientele. It was a hair saloon for children. However, it looks like this business venture didn’t go well. English news brought an information lately, that the saloon closed after approximately 11 months from opening. Neighbors say the place was full most of the time but the question is if Pietersens were able to keep up with high cost of running business in this area. Commercial rentals in the neighborhood go for about £70,000 per year ($109,000).
