NET WORTH
How Rich Is Carlos Sainz?
We put Carlos Sainz’s net worth at $50m, level with Lance Stroll and Oscar Piastri in joint seventh in our F1 driver net worth rankings.
Every season since 2015 has paid him, and the Ferrari years did most of the work, with salary and bonuses of $15m in 2022 and $19m in 2024. Williams pays him $13m in 2026, and his reported pay jumps to around €30m ($34.2m) a season from 2027, so the figure should rise quickly.
Celebrity Net Worth, Marca and HITC all give $50m, and EssentiallySports had $47m back in 2022.
Puts Sainz's net worth at $50m, the figure we agree with, although its $10m salary field is out of date.

What Each Point Now Costs Red Bull
How Certain Are We of Carlos Sainz’s Net Worth?
On our certainty scale this figure rates low, even though every publisher agrees. Each published estimate sits in the $47m-50m range, but none shows its working, and the figures have barely moved since 2022. In that time Forbes estimates he earned $46m on the track from 2023 to 2025 alone. We match the consensus for now, but his true wealth could be higher once that recent pay is counted.

What Does Carlos Sainz Own?
A Ferrari Daytona SP3 and an SF90 XX Spider
Luxury Gonzo reported in December 2025 that Sainz paid £1.7m ($2.25m) for his Daytona SP3, which is now valued at more than £4m ($5.3m). His SF90 XX Spider cost £733k ($969k) and his 812 Competizione £450k ($595k), and both have roughly doubled in value. He drives a Ferrari Purosangue around Monaco and still keeps his first car, a Volkswagen Golf GTI, in Madrid.
CS55 Racing Karts and the Fifty Five Brand
Sainz launched CS55 Racing with Italian kart maker OTK Kart Group in February 2024, and its karts supply the Spanish motorsport federation’s academy for children aged six to eight. His Fifty Five merchandise sells through his official store, run by Saiva Management, a Madrid-area company with sales of about €1m ($1.1m). He has also co-owned the Boogie Burger restaurant in Madrid since 2023.
A $324k Richard Mille He Chased Back
In September 2023 thieves took a Richard Mille RM 67-02 Alexander Zverev edition from his wrist in Milan, and Sainz chased them down to get it back. Reuters valued the watch at about $324k. A watch blog has also photographed him in RM 67-02 Leclerc and Italy editions and an RM 50-03 McLaren, although no personal Richard Mille deal has been found.

Carlos Sainz Net Worth FAQs
We estimate Carlos Sainz’s net worth at $50m in 2026, with a likely range of $45m-75m. He ranks seventh among current drivers.
Celebrity Net Worth also says $50m, and Marca has been credited with both $47m and about $50m. None of these publishers explains how it reached its figure.
Sainz lives in Monaco, where he had moved into a bigger apartment by early 2025 and uses a Ferrari Purosangue as his everyday car. He keeps close ties to Madrid, his home city, where he still stores his first car. Sportskeeda also reports a second home in Sassuolo, Italy, bought in 2021.
Yes. At an estimated $50m he is the seventh-richest driver on the 2026 grid, with $99.54m in F1 pay before tax behind him. He is some way off the sport’s top earners, though. Sportico’s 2025 list of the 100 highest-paid athletes included four F1 drivers, and Sainz was not one of them.
