Aston Martin’s F1 team doesn’t publish what Lawrence Stroll is paid as executive chairman, and no credible report has put a number on it, so his salary, bonus and annual income stay blank. The £1 ($1.33) salary often linked to him came from the road-car company’s April 2020 disclosure, not the F1 team.
His wealth is another matter. Forbes had Stroll’s net worth at $3.7bn on September 28, 2026, built mostly in fashion through Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger. That’s the value of what he owns, and gains on those stakes aren’t pay from the team.

Stroll runs the ownership side of the team. He controls the capital and the senior appointments, and it was under him that Adrian Newey arrived in 2025 and took over as team principal for 2026.
He also chairs the listed Aston Martin road-car company, a separate business with its own accounts. His son Lance Stroll has driven for the team since 2019. The team exists in its current form because his consortium rescued Force India in 2018, and he’s kept funding it through the switch to works Honda engines.
Secondary chronology of Stroll's fashion investments, the Force India takeover and his Aston Martin chairmanship.

Stroll is an owner, so he doesn’t fit the pay bands used for most F1 CEOs and owners. Dan Towriss at Cadillac is also undisclosed, while McLaren’s Zak Brown is a salaried chief executive whose 2024 pay came to £37.25m ($49.4m), more than Adrian Newey’s package at Aston Martin.
Stroll made his money in fashion long before motorsport, then bought into F1 in 2018 and put the Aston Martin name on the grid three years later.
Every other name on Aston Martin‘s staff pages is an employee of the team Stroll controls, and the best paid of them is Adrian Newey on up to £30m ($39.8m). Andy Stevenson has been there longest, since the Jordan days, and was already sporting director when Stroll’s consortium arrived in 2018.
No published figure shows what Lawrence Stroll paid personally. He led the consortium that bought Force India’s assets in 2018 and later led the investment in the Aston Martin road-car company in 2020, but consortium prices include other investors’ money, so they don’t measure his own spending.
Lawrence Stroll’s exact share of the Aston Martin F1 team isn’t public. He leads the ownership group that has controlled it since 2018, and Adrian Newey joined as a shareholder in 2025, but neither the team nor Stroll has published the size of any stake.
No, the £1 ($1.33) salary belongs to Lawrence Stroll’s road-car role. Aston Martin’s listed car company disclosed it in April 2020, when he became its executive chairman. The F1 team is a different business and hasn’t published his pay, so there’s no basis for calling it his 2026 F1 salary.
They’re separate companies, and Lawrence Stroll chairs both. The listed business builds Aston Martin’s road cars and answers to its own shareholders, while the F1 team has its own owners and accounts. That’s why a disclosure from the car company tells you nothing about what Stroll takes from the racing team.
Forbes put Lawrence Stroll’s net worth at $3.7bn on September 28, 2026. The figure moves with the value of his holdings, and most of it traces back to fashion, above all Michael Kors. None of it comes from a published F1 salary, because the team has never disclosed one.
Yes, Lawrence Stroll is Lance Stroll’s father. Lance has raced for the team his father controls since 2019, first as Racing Point and then as Aston Martin, and his current deal is reported at a $12m base salary. Lawrence’s own pay from the team has never been disclosed.
