From the Circuit to the Financial Podium

Max Verstappen has conquered more than just the racetrack. The four-time Formula 1 world champion has built a fortune that now places him among the richest sports figures in the Netherlands, according to the prestigious Quote 500 list.

The Dutch business magazine, known for ranking the country’s 500 wealthiest individuals, estimates the Red Bull driver’s net worth at €260 million — a reflection of both his dominance in Formula 1 and his growing power off the track.

A Meteoric Rise to Wealth

Since debuting on the list in 2022 at number 500, Verstappen has soared to 264th place in the 2025 edition. Every world title — four and counting — has not only expanded his legacy but also multiplied his earnings.
According to Red Bull, the Dutchman earns around $65 million per season (€56.7 million), making him the highest-paid driver on the grid and one of the most lucrative athletes in global sport.

The Youngest Millionaire in Dutch Sports

The publication also highlights that Verstappen remains the youngest member of the Netherlands’ 500 richest people. His success isn’t just about speed — it’s about smart management of his brand, sponsorships, and contracts.

While he still trails Dutch billionaire John de Mol, whose net worth stands at €2 billion, Verstappen reigns supreme among athletes, leaving every other Dutch sports star far behind.

From pole positions to paychecks, Max Verstappen’s empire proves that his victories now extend well beyond Formula 1.
