Being the face of South African rugby comes with national pride, global recognition—and a hefty price tag for clubs. The Springboks aren’t just world champions; they’re global icons. And leading them is Siya Kolisi, a man whose value has soared alongside the team’s historic success.
How Much Does Siya Kolisi Earn at the Sharks?
According to MyWage, Kolisi pockets a jaw-dropping R18.6 million per year. That breaks down to around R1.55 million a month, R357,000 a week, and roughly R71,500 a day.
This paycheck puts him among South Africa’s rugby elite—and it’s easy to see why. Kolisi is more than just a flanker; he’s a leader, a symbol of hope, and an inspiration to millions both in South Africa and beyond.
Worth Every Cent?
As Sharks captain and Springbok leader, Kolisi’s impact goes far beyond the field. He’s carried the hopes of a nation and helped bring two World Cup trophies back home. For many, his paycheck reflects not just performance, but purpose.
Who’s Earning More Than Kolisi?
Even though Kolisi earns a fortune, he’s not at the top of the list. Stars like Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth, Handré Pollard, and Faf de Klerk are reportedly pulling in even more, thanks to lucrative deals with overseas clubs.
But when it comes to influence, leadership, and legacy—Kolisi might just be priceless.
