Lewis Hamilton's Net Worth and Ferrari Contract
Hands up if you're someone who binged Drive to Survive and have now made your entire personality F1? Welcome, this is a safe space. By which we mean a space where we're losing our mind over how much money there is to be made in this sport. Though let's be honest: no one is earning more than Lewis Hamilton. We did a deep dive into the Ferrari racer's bank account and have learned some interesting (read: jealousy-inducing) things so buckle up. There's a lot of wildly disparate info on what Lewis made for Mercedes depending on if reports are taking into account just his base salary or his base salary and bonuses. But Celebrity Net Worth reports that Lewis was making $60 million per year for Mercedes—and he was on the team for 12 years! Meanwhile, Forbes notes that Lewis made $80 million from May 2024 to May 2025, with $60 million earned "on field" and $20 million earned "off field." HOWEVER, Lewis broke his contract with Mercedes and started driving with Ferrari in 2025, meaning his yearly earnings have shot up thanks to a major raise. I mean...I'd break my Mercedes contract for that much money too. Again, reports on Lewis' exact salary vary (this $107 million figure is from Celebrity Net Worth), but the BBC confirmed that he is getting "close to 50% pay rise." Lewis said of the move, "In the summer we signed, and obviously I, at that time, saw my future with Mercedes. But an opportunity came up in the new year and I decided to take it. I feel like… it was obviously the hardest decision that I think I've ever had to make. Obviously I've been with Mercedes for, I think it's like 26 years they've supported me, and we've had an absolutely incredible journey together. We've created history within the sport, and it's something I take a lot of pride in and I'm very proud of what we've achieved. But I think ultimately I'm writing my story and I felt like it was time to start a new chapter." Lewis reportedly earns an additional ~$50 million through endorsements and prize money every year thanks to more brand ambassadorships than he knows what to do with. And let's not forget the fact that he's a producer on F1, meaning he gets a cut of the film's earnings this summer. Per Wall Street Journal, Lewis owns a New York City penthouse worth $40.7 million, as well as a $25 million home in London, and apartments all over the world (specifically in major racing hubs). Some of his nicest cars apparently include a 1995 McLaren F1 worth $20 million, a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta worth $4.1 million, and a Mercedes-AMG One worth $2.7 million. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lewis is sitting on $450 Million. In conclusion: why didn't I become a race car driver?

1-of-210 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta Listed for Sale with Under 1,500 Miles
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious One of the most coveted modern Ferrari hypercars has hit the private market, as RM Sotheby's announces the availability of a 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta—one of just 210 units ever built. Offered with under 1,500 miles on the odometer, the hybrid V12 convertible is now listed through the firm's Private Sales division. Built to celebrate Ferrari's 70th anniversary, the LaFerrari Aperta is the open-top version of the groundbreaking LaFerrari, which was part of the hybrid hypercar "Holy Trinity" alongside the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. While all three revolutionized the supercar segment with their electrified powertrains, the Aperta stands out as the rarest of the group and one of Ferrari's most exclusive production models in recent history. This example is finished in classic Rosso Corsa over a Nero Alcantara interior and features Ferrari Classiche Certification. It retains the original 963-horsepower hybrid drivetrain, which pairs a high-revving 6.3-liter V12 with a HY-KERS electric motor system. With a 9,250-rpm redline and a 0–60 mph time of just 2.4 seconds, the LaFerrari Aperta delivers Formula 1-inspired technology in a road-going package. Significant engineering modifications were required to convert the LaFerrari coupe into the Aperta, including reinforced chassis elements and revised airflow management, ensuring the car's performance figures remained uncompromised. Unlike the standard LaFerrari, the Aperta features removable roof panels, allowing drivers to experience its performance with the wind in their hair and the V12 in full voice. Pre-sold to Ferrari's most loyal clients, the Aperta was unavailable to the general public upon launch and remains rarer than the Enzo, F50, F40, and 288 GTO. Its combination of extreme rarity, advanced hybrid performance, and collector status places it among the most desirable Ferraris ever produced. This meticulously maintained example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Ferrari history. Interested parties can inquire through RM Sotheby's Private Sales or visit duPont REGISTRY for further details.
