Liam Lawson
NET WORTH
How Rich Is Liam Lawson?
We estimate Liam Lawson’s net worth at about $1.3m, 21st in our F1 driver net worth rankings.
His F1 pay has been modest. He earned estimated sums of $227k and $250k for his partial seasons in 2023 and 2024, and $1m a year since 2025, as Liam Lawson’s salary history shows. Backers helped fund his move to Europe, and he set up a company to repay those private investors with a return, so part of his income is already committed.
Celebrity Net Worth lists $2m, close to everything he has earned in F1 before tax, and some pages that come up for his name confuse him with a basketball coach.
Estimates Lawson's net worth at $2m, the one published figure clearly about him. It's close to his total F1 pay before tax, so we use a lower estimate.

How Liam Lawson Got to a $1.3m Net Worth by 2026
Lawson's F1 pay has mostly been small. 1News reported in September 2024 that he earned less than a New Zealand Super Rugby base salary and paid his own insurance and license fee. Spotrac lists a $1m base at Racing Bulls for 2025 and 2026, and we count $3.48m in career earnings before tax since his 2023 debut.
Backers put an estimated $10m into his career, 1News says. Zuru, Turners and Rodin Cars still back him with undisclosed deals, and a new contract for 2027 would do more for his wealth than anything else.

How Certain Are We of Liam Lawson’s Net Worth?
On our certainty scale this figure rates low. Almost every published estimate traces back to one of two figures, a $1.5m first seen in August 2023 and Celebrity Net Worth's $2m from May 2025, and none states a method. Unifresher's $5m stands alone. His pay is uncertain too, with Spotrac at $1m for 2026 and PlanetF1 at about $3m, and the terms of his investor repayments are unknown.

Liam Lawson Net Worth FAQs
We put Liam Lawson’s net worth at $1.3m in 2026, within a range of $1m-4m. He has $3.48m in F1 career earnings before tax, but tax, fees and his commitment to repay the private investors who funded his junior career keep the figure down.
Lawson is reported to live in Monaco, where Kym Illman listed him in March 2025 and GPFans in March 2026. Kym Illman says he enjoys its warm climate year-round. Formula 1’s Off the Grid series showed his apartment in July 2026 but did not say where it is or whether he owns it.
Yes. He has said he never earned money in his junior career and that his only income came from Twitch, so his net worth was zero. F1 Oversteer dates the remark to a 2021 Hitech video, and Just Jared notes that he disputes the $1.5m estimate many lists still repeat.
