The famous F1 racer possesses an admirable fortune. According to The Sun, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton is the top sports star in the UK, with a net worth of £350 million. This racer has stunned the racing world by signing a £100 million contract to join Ferrari for the upcoming season.
The man once rumored to be dating artist Shakira, nicknamed the “speed king,” is regarded as one of the greatest drivers of all time. Aside from his racing successes, Lewis Hamilton also boasts numerous lucrative contracts with renowned brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Monster Energy, Puma, IWC, Sony, Bose, and Bell Helmets. With an endless passion for speed, it’s no surprise that Lewis Hamilton owns an impressive collection of supercars, including a $1.15 million McLaren P1, two $1.56 million Ferrari LaFerraris, and a $2.72 million Mercedes-AMG Project One.
He also splurged $4 million on a Sunseeker yacht frequently seen docked in Monaco. Moreover, Lewis Hamilton has an impressive collection of luxury watches. As an ambassador for the IWC brand, his first promoted collection is the Big Pilot, which includes a $35,000 watch from the brand, one of his favorites. The world’s number one racer also acquired a $50,000 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. According to The Richest, in 2019, the F1 champion was spotted wearing an exclusive $125,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus for an extended period, considered one of the most expensive watches in Hamilton’s collection, with both white and rose gold versions, showcasing his extravagant lifestyle.
Furthermore, Shakira’s former flame owns vast real estate. The Sun reported that he has homes worldwide, including a London apartment, a New York penthouse, and a ranch in Colorado, but he mostly resides in Monaco. The British racer once posted a photo from his Monaco penthouse with the caption: “A place I call home, Monte Carlo. I’m extremely fortunate to be in such an incredible place like this.” Besides his love for high-speed racing, the seven-time F1 champion also enjoys water sports. He is notorious for his romantic escapades, with no woman yet able to capture the heart of this iconic wealthy star.
This man has expressed his desire to become a “philanthropist” to “avenge” his painful past. He had a childhood marked by alienation, ridicule, and even physical attacks due to his race. Those hardships forged a resilient, powerful Lewis Hamilton, who has become the dazzling star he is today.
