Max Verstappen has seen a substantial increase in his estimated wealth, climbing by nearly £44 million in the past year. This surge brings his total net worth to just under £230 million. The Red Bull Racing driver has ascended the ranks of the Quote 500, a list of the wealthiest individuals in the Netherlands, moving from 322nd place to 264th.
Despite celebrating his 28th birthday in late September, Verstappen remains the youngest individual on the list, a title he has held since his debut in 2022. He made history as the youngest person ever to be included in the list, a record that remains unbroken three years later.
Initially entering the list as the 500th person with a net worth slightly above £105 million, Verstappen’s rapid rise is evident as he now sits at 264th place. The entry threshold for this year’s list is just under £123 million, with notable names like Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk missing the mark.
Forbes ranked Verstappen as the 25th highest-paid athlete globally this year, with earnings close to £59 million. While the bulk of his income is from salary and winnings, endorsements contribute £4.5 million to his earnings. Comparatively, Lewis Hamilton ranks 22nd on the list, earning just above £60 million, with endorsements of £15 million pushing him ahead of Verstappen.
Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Aston Martin had offered Verstappen a £750 million deal to secure his services for the remainder of his career. Verstappen, confirming his commitment to Red Bull, signed a contract extension until 2028, reportedly worth around £40 million per season.
