Lasith Malinga, the legendary cricketer, has a reported net worth of $8.2 million or 60 Crores in Indian Rupees. His earnings come from various sources like endorsements and his successful playing career.

During his prime, Malinga's monthly salary was rumored to be around $100,000, totaling to an impressive $1 million annually.

The Slinga is a popular choice for endorsements, with brands like Samsung and The Sri Lounge under his belt.

When it comes to cars, Malinga has owned luxurious vehicles like the BMW I8, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 10, and Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

His lavish lifestyle extends to his multi-story designer home in Galle, Sri Lanka, where he has hosted players from other teams. Additionally, he owns multiple other properties in Sri Lanka.

In 2018, Lasith Malinga faced allegations of Sexual Harassment amidst the #MeToo movement. Indian singer Chinmayi spoke out on behalf of the victim, claiming that Malinga had lured her to his hotel room during the IPL season and sexually assaulted her. However, the issue did not gain much traction and eventually faded away.

There have been multiple instances of tension between Malinga and the Sri Lankan Cricket Board over the years. The rift began when he retired from Test Cricket in 2011 to focus on ODI and T20 matches, a move that did not sit well with the board. They accused him of prioritizing money over national cricket.

In 2017, Malinga compared Sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekera to a monkey after the minister criticized the team's fitness levels. The bowler's controversial remarks led to an investigation into his conduct.

Sri Lanka Cricket's technical committee member, Muttiah Muralidaran, has expressed his disagreement with Lasith Malinga's views on fitness tests. Malinga had previously stated his dissatisfaction with the current 2KM fitness test implemented by Sri Lanka Cricket. However, Muralidaran believes that fitness is crucial for any cricketer and that the same rules should apply to all players. He even mentioned that Malinga's fitness issues prevented him from playing Test Cricket. In fact, Muralidaran confidently stated that even at 49 years old, he is capable of completing the 2KM fitness test in an impressive time of around 9 minutes, and if challenged, he could do it even faster, in 8.30 seconds.
