Max Verstappen’s wealth has surged by nearly £44 million over the past year, propelling his total net worth to just under £230 million. The Red Bull Racing driver has advanced in the ranks of Quote 500, a list of the wealthiest individuals in the Netherlands, now standing at 264th place compared to 322nd last year.
Despite celebrating his 28th birthday in late September, Verstappen retains the title of the youngest person on the list, a distinction he has held since his debut in 2022. Initially entering the list as the 500th person with a net worth slightly above £105 million, Verstappen’s ascent has been rapid, moving up to the 428th spot a year later and leaping 106 places last year.
The entry threshold for this year’s list stands at just under £123 million, with notable figures like Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk failing to make the cut. Forbes has ranked Verstappen as the 25th highest-paid athlete globally this year, earning nearly £59 million, primarily from his salary and winnings, complemented by £4.5 million from endorsements.
In comparison, Lewis Hamilton ranks 22nd on the list, earning just over £60 million, with endorsements totaling £15 million, pushing him ahead of Verstappen despite lower salary and winnings.
Earlier this year, the Daily Mail reported that Aston Martin offered Verstappen a massive £750 million deal to cover his remaining career. Verstappen, in response, acknowledged the substantial offer but expressed surprise at the magnitude of the proposal.
Verstappen has affirmed his commitment to Red Bull for the upcoming season, having signed a contract extension in 2022 until 2028, reportedly valued at around £40 million per season. Sky has reduced the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle ahead of the 2025/26 season, providing savings of £192 and offering over 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL, and more. Sky will broadcast at least 215 live Premier League games next season, an increase of up to 100 matches.
