NET WORTH
How Rich Is George Russell?
We put George Russell’s net worth at about $40m, level with Valtteri Bottas in joint 10th in our F1 driver net worth rankings, though he is climbing fast.
His early pay was small. He earned $1m or less a year at Williams and $3m and $4m in base salary in his first two Mercedes seasons, when bonuses made up most of his income. The big money arrived in 2024 and 2025, when his pay including bonuses reached $23m and $26m. His $34m salary this season is more than his base pay for those two years combined, and bonuses could lift his 2026 total to $50m.
Celebrity Net Worth, PlanetF1 and 888sport all put him at about $40m.

How Certain Are We of George Russell’s Net Worth?
On our certainty scale this figure rates medium. The newest estimates agree at about $40m, from Celebrity Net Worth, PlanetF1 and 888sport's close to £30m ($39.7m), though PlanetF1 likely copied Celebrity Net Worth. An older $16m figure on several pages predates his biggest contracts. Forbes' pay data is solid, but all of these estimates came before most of his 2026 salary was paid.

What Does George Russell Own?
A Mercedes-AMG One He Plans to Keep for Life
Russell took delivery of a Mercedes-AMG One in April 2025 after about three years on order, and Luxury Gonzo reported that he paid £2.4m ($3.2m) for it. He said in December 2025 that he wants to keep it his whole life. His garage also holds a Mercedes-AMG G63 and a 1980s ex-military Mercedes G-Wagon that he is restoring.
A 62-Foot Pershing 6X Yacht
Pershing said in July 2025 that Russell had recently become the owner of a Pershing 6X, and Forbes Australia has described how he unwinds on the 62-foot yacht in Capri. Neither Pershing, Ferretti Group nor Forbes has given a price. The only figure in circulation is an unconfirmed $3m from Sportskeeda.
George Russell Promotions and a Property Company
Companies House lists Russell as the owner of 75% or more of George Russell Promotions, a London company he has directed since 2014 and whose name appears on his official website. In November 2025 he set up GC Investment Holding, a property letting company in which he holds more than 25% but not more than 50%. The value of neither company has been reported.

George Russell Net Worth FAQs
We estimate George Russell’s net worth at $40m in 2026, with a likely range of $35m-60m. He ranks 11th among current drivers, level with Valtteri Bottas.
Celebrity Net Worth and PlanetF1 also give $40m, up from the $16m that several sites were still using in 2025.
Russell lives in Monaco, which has no income tax. He moved there around the start of 2023, and in June 2023 he said he had been there for five or six months and praised the community and training in the sea. During his Williams years he rented an apartment in London.
No. The top 10 of the 2026 Sunday Times sport rich list ended at £110m ($145m), and Russell was not on it. No Young Rich List entry for him was found either. At an estimated $40m he sits well below that cut-off, although his Mercedes pay has risen sharply since 2024.
