Lewis Hamilton leads the 2026 Formula 1 grid in PlanetF1’s published net-worth estimates, at $586 million.

The table covers the 22 drivers on Formula1.com’s 2026 roster and uses PlanetF1’s ranking published on August 14, 2026.

What the headline estimates mean
Hamilton’s figure is a currency conversion
PlanetF1’s $586 million estimate for Hamilton comes from The Sunday Times Rich List 2026 estimate of £435 million, converted to US dollars. The original pound figure is the Rich List estimate as reported by PlanetF1; the dollar value is a conversion, not a separate confirmed valuation.
#1 Best Overall
- The UNO game players love races onto the scene with iconic images from the world of F1 racing and its celebrated drivers!
- Gameplay matches the classic card game where players match colors and numbers to get rid of all their cards!
- The special "Overtake" rule lets players add to a special pile -- but each card must be higher in value than the last or they'll have to draw the entire pile!
- Don't forget to yell "UNO!" when down to the last card!
- Designed for 2 to 10 players ages 7 years and older, the collectible card game makes a timeless gift for fans of F1 racing.
Norris’s estimate is particularly unsettled
PlanetF1 lists Norris at $60 million but notes that published estimates range from $37 million to $80 million. Treat the table’s figure as one ranking’s estimate, not a settled value.
Stroll’s estimate is for Lance, not Lawrence
The $50 million entry refers to driver Lance Stroll’s estimated personal worth, not the reported fortune of his father, Lawrence Stroll.
Lindblad’s figure has limited support
PlanetF1 estimates Lindblad’s net worth at about $1 million while acknowledging that exact figures are not widely reported. That makes it one of the least certain entries in the ranking.

A net-worth estimate aims to describe accumulated assets minus liabilities. It is not the same as salary for a season, a contract’s stated value, or a year’s total earnings. Those figures can differ in what they include: RacingNews365 says its 2026 salary estimates draw on paddock sources and exclude bonuses and personal sponsorship contracts. Forbes Australia’s reproduction of Forbes SportsMoney’s 2025 earnings estimates separates salary and bonuses. Neither measure, by itself, establishes a driver’s net worth.
Rank #3
- Race into game night with the UNO Elite Formula 1 2025 Core Edition card game where Elite Action Cards add extra thrills to classic UNO game play
- The set comes with 112 UNO cards, 4 Game Booster Packs (with 10 Elite Action Cards per pack) and 2 Promo Cards
- Each UNO player creates their own 'Lineup' from the 8 Elite Action Cards they are dealt -- Elite Action Cards feature Formula 1 drivers, cars, helmets, circuits, team principals and reserve drivers
- Gameplay matches the classic card game with the action and excitement of Formula 1 racing
- Players simply play a card of matching color with an Elite icon on it to unlock the power of an Elite Action Card
Rankings also vary in their estimates. AthleteWiki’s ranking, updated October 7, 2026, puts Hamilton at $550 million rather than PlanetF1’s $586 million, and Norris at $37 million rather than $60 million. It lists Alonso at $260 million, Verstappen at $210 million, Leclerc at $125 million, Stroll and Piastri at $50 million, and Sainz at $49 million. These differences show why the figures should be attributed to a publisher rather than combined into a supposedly definitive total.
