Lewis Hamilton – $285 Million
Formula One isn’t an average sport. While you only need a pair of shoes and a ball to play soccer, you must have a beastly machine to become an F1 racing driver. The average total cost of a Formula One vehicle is over $12 million!
With that in mind, it’s no wonder that the best racing drivers in the world get paid the big bucks for their services. And the best of them all is—arguably—the British seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton. Already tied in titles with the iconic Michael Schumacher, this humble lad from Stevenage turned his love for speed into a massive fortune of $285 million.
