Lewis Hamilton, 35, most recently competed in Formula One for Mercedes and has previously driven for McLaren. Hamilton holds records for the most wins, pole positions and podium finishes. How much has he earned?

To date, he has now won six World Championships.

In 2018, Lewis signed a two-year contract extension with Mercedes which was reported to be worth nearly £40 million per year.

Adding to his bank balance is his clothing line which launched in 2018.

The TOMMYXLEWIS is a collaboration with American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. 

After their split, Lewis was rumoured to have dated Rihanna and Rita Ora as well as Nicki Minaj.

In 2019, he listed his New York penthouse for £42 million, located in the same building that Justin Timberlake and Bella Hadid live in. 

He also owns a four-story mansion in Kensington, London, which was built in 1860.

The property has six bedrooms and is worth £18 million.

Lewis also owns apartments in Nyon, a suburb of Geneva, Switzerland and in Monaco.
