Lewis Hamilton
NET WORTH
How Rich Is Lewis Hamilton?
We put Lewis Hamilton’s net worth at about $580m, which makes him the richest driver on the F1 grid by a distance. Our figure follows the Sunday Times Rich List, the one publisher that values him asset by asset.
F1 pay explains most of it. He has earned eight-figure salaries every year since 2008 and at least $55m a season since 2021, and Ferrari pays him $60m in 2026. Forbes puts his sponsor and business income at about $30m a year on top, and his company stakes are worth more than a pay table alone would show.
Other estimates land either side. Celebrity Net Worth says $550m and PlanetF1 lists $586m, while a few older pages still carry $285m.

How Lewis Hamilton Got to a $580m Net Worth by 2026
Hamilton has earned an estimated $720.94m in F1 salary and bonuses before tax since his 2007 debut. Forbes had already put his F1 pay at $489m by early 2019, and his move to Ferrari in 2025 kept his salary at $60m a year.
Away from the track he has built a business group. Lewis Hamilton Ventures runs the +44 label, the Almave spirit and Dawn Apollo, which produced the 2025 film F1, and he joined the Denver Broncos ownership group in 2022. Dior and Lululemon are among his current partners. Several homes and a £20m ($26.5m) pledge to Mission 44 sit on the other side of the ledger.

How Certain Are We of Lewis Hamilton’s Net Worth?
On our certainty scale this figure rates high. The Sunday Times Rich List has valued Hamilton regularly since 2020 and works from assets it can identify, and its May 2026 edition put him at £435m ($575m). Celebrity Net Worth ($550m) and European Business Magazine ($454.9m) give no method, and the $285m figure Wealthy Gorilla still shows is years out of date. His Broncos stake and private companies are the hardest parts to value.

What Does Lewis Hamilton Own?
A Kensington Mansion and a Monaco Apartment
Crash.net reported that Hamilton paid £18m ($23.8m) for a six-bedroom house in Kensington, west London, in 2017. PlanetF1 lists a €10m ($11.2m) Monaco apartment bought in 2012, a ranch near Aspen and a home in Milan’s Porta Nuova district, added in 2025 after his Ferrari move. TMZ reported that he sold a Tribeca penthouse in 2021 for $49.5m, four years after paying $43.99m.
A Stake in the Denver Broncos
Hamilton joined the Walton-Penner ownership group as a limited partner in 2022, when it paid $4.65bn for the Denver Broncos. His share has never been disclosed and Forbes describes it as small. Sportico valued the team at $9.18bn in 2026, roughly double the purchase price. He has also put money into NotCo, TMRW Sports and the group that bought W Magazine.
Richard Mille Watches Since the Ferrari Move
IWC paid Hamilton as an ambassador from 2013 until 2024 and released several Lewis Hamilton editions of its Ingenieur and Portugieser models. Since joining Ferrari he has worn Richard Mille instead, and an RM67-02 Italy was the first to appear. Sports Illustrated reported that the brand gave him an RM 74-02 tourbillon worth about $600k after the switch.
