Lewis Hamilton – $285 Million
The man of the hour in the highly competitive world of Formula One, British racing driver Sir Lewis Hamilton holds the record for most F1 wins and a joint-record seven championship titles (only Michael Schumacher has as many). As Mercedes’ most valuable driver, he gets paid a whopping yearly salary of $40 million for his services.
Add to that a few high-profile sponsorships, and it’s easy to see why Hamilton has managed to save a fortune of $285 million over the years. In 2022, he landed a deal with Apple TV+ for the release of a feature documentary tackling his phenomenal rise to the top.
