Daniel Ricciardo is one of the most famous faces on the F1 grid. He has been in the sport since 2011 and has driven for multiple top teams such as McLaren and Red Bull. He is fondly nicknamed 'The Honey Badger' and his beaming face and persona have made him an unofficial ambassador of the sport.
Being an F1 driver, Ricciardo has earned a lot by racing at eye-watering speeds. Here is a list of a few expensive purchases the Australian has made over the years.
List of 5 expensive assets owned by Daniel Ricciardo
#1 Beverly Hills Bachelor Pad
Though almost every F1 driver, including Daniel Ricciardo, officially resides in Monaco, they have vacation homes and real estate in other parts of the world. As far as the Australian is concerned, one of the most lavish assets he owns is a bachelor pad worth $18,600,000 (as per GQ) in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, near Hollywood.
Since Ricciardo has a fond relationship with America and its culture, he tends to relax at his LA pad during the off-season.
#2 Aston Martin Valkyrie
Daniel Ricciardo also owns his very own Aston Martin Valkyrie, which he bought in 2018 when he was about to leave Red Bull. The beast houses a 6.5-liter V12 engine and an electric motor to run. Though there is no official figure that Ricciardo paid for the car, it normally costs somewhere around $3,500,000 (as per GQ).
Aston Martin Valkyrie was a collaboration project between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing. It was designed by Red Bull's chief technical officer Adrian Newey in 2017. Newey is working on another supercar named RB17 before leaving the Austrian team for good.
#3 Porsche 918 Spyder
Being an F1 driver and a massive car enthusiast, Daniel Ricciardo's thirst for fast machines does not end at Valkyrie. The Australian also owns a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000 (as per GQ).
The 918 Spyder has a 4.6-liter V8 engine with two electric motors, outputting a total of 875 bhp. It was manufactured between 2013 and 2015, but the 35-year-old bought the machine after its production ended.
#4 McLaren 675LT
After leaving Red Bull and Renault, Daniel Ricciardo moved to McLaren in 2021. Before he arrived on the British team, however, he already owned a McLaren 675LT that cost around $349,500 (as per GQ). He was also seen driving around in the supercar on the streets of Monaco and did an unofficial lap of the prestigious street track before the Grand Prix in 2021.
The McLaren 675LT houses a 4-liter V8 engine that churns out 666bhp. It can go from 0 to 100 in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 330kmph.
#5 Richard Mille RM 50-03
When Daniel Ricciardo was in McLaren, he enjoyed a partnership with Richard Mille, as the watchmakers sponsored the British team. During that time, The Honey Badger was spotted wearing a Richard Mille RM 50-03 McLaren F1 edition watch, which costs $1.2m (as per racingnews365.com).
Apart from this masterpiece, Ricciardo also owns watches from other top brands like Rolex, TAG Heuer, Patek Philippe, and more.
