Lewis Hamilton is not only one of the most sports stars in Britain, but he is also one of his richest stars, as explains his noble position in the Sunday Times list this year
Lewis Hamilton was firmly firmly as one of the richest individuals in the United Kingdom, and won 324 in the Sunday Times Rich 2025 list. Formula 1 champion has seven times now a personal fortune of 385 million pounds, confirming his huge achievements inside and outside the path.
It is now approaching the 400 million pounds threshold, Hamilton joins David Beckham as one of the two athletes only to reach the prestigious list for this year. At the age of forty, he is also among the youngest named individuals.
A large part of his huge wealth confirmed his prominent transformation to Ferrari, who confirmed last year, which made him the highest driver in the history of F1. Reports estimate that his long -term agreement is valued at more than 100 million pounds annually, where he is studying in the basic salary, agreements, images license, and performance bonuses.
The inclusion of Hamilton in the rich list confirms his ability to build wealth through various income flows. His profits are more than 20 years in F1 – with tasks in McLaren and Mercedes – the basis of his financial success.
Outside the path, he got profitable deals with international names such as Tommy Hilviger, Energy Crings, and IWC Schaffhausen, and benefited from his international attractiveness. Its investment portfolio includes stocks in the restaurants group of NEAT Burger Restaurant and interests in emerging technology companies, which helps him to branch financially.
His creative projects, including the launch of the production company Dawn Apollo Films and Collaborancs in fashion, contributed to his growing empire and showed his acumen.
So far, the 2025 F1 season was disappointing for both Hamilton and Ferrari. Despite the crossfires from his iconic talent, the team's repeated problems with the trustee of cars prevented him from being a steady threat, which leaves him in the race on the title.
Hamilton managed from only one end within the first five places during the first six races, and is currently in the seventh place in the drivers' rankings with 41 points, leaving the current leader Oscar Pastari by 90 points. He is also succeeded by his teammate Charles Licerrick, who occupies 12 points and sits at the forefront, although Hamilton was appointed to be a main driver in Ferrari.
In addition to the pressure, Hamilton finds himself behind former Mercedes colleague George Russell and rising star Kimi Antonelli, who entered his old seat in Silver Siham. However, those familiar with Ferrari are still confident that Hamilton's experience and its leadership will be essential because the team aims to restore its position at the front of the package.
Hamilton's financial achievements are particularly amazing in a year when the Sunday Times Rich list has a significant decrease in the number of billionaires – a decrease from 165 to 156, is a sharp decrease in the date of the list of 37 years. The cumulative wealth of 350 of the listed individuals and families, including Hamilton, is 772.8 billion pounds, and it decreased by 3 percent compared to 2024.
As its financial momentum continues to rise, reaching 400 million pounds is not only reasonable – it appears to be inevitable. Hamilton's rise from the modest beginnings in Stephenig to the international icon is a noticeable example of how determination, skill and smart investments find a legacy.
Although the recent results of the path were mixed, Hamilton is still a great presence in the world of F1 – and no signs of slowdown appear.
