Virat Kohli has done it yet again, for the fourth consecutive year, India captain remained on top as the country’s most valuable celebrity. According to the multinational consultancy firm, Duff & Phelps’ annual Celebrity Brand Valuation Study, the 32-year-old is valued at $237.7 million which is almost the same as that of last year’s valuation.

The year 2020 was a tough and testing year for many, as a plethora of industries saw a decline in their economic growth. Given everything going on in the world 'Embracing the New Normal' was chosen as the theme for this edition of the annual Celebrity Brand Valuation Study. 

Virat Kohli and Akshay Kumar have retained their first and second spots respectively. India and RCB captain is the only Indian sportsperson to make it into the Top 10 list. It is worth noting that former India captain MS Dhoni has slipped away from the Top 10 most valuable celebrities.
