F1: Top 10 Richest Drivers of all time

Australian F1 Grand Prix

#3 Fernando Alonso (Status- Active)

Alonso started Karting just at the age of 3 and rose to stardom in 2005 after becoming the youngest F1 champion ever at that time. He won two back to back championships with the Renault F1team. His championship battle with the legendary Schumacher shot him to fame and he was successful in denying Schumacher his eight world title.

Since then, he has been a well-known name in the history of motorsport and switched to big teams such as Mclaren and Ferrari. He is regarded as one of the best drivers present in the current F1 season with a car not capable of producing the desired results. His fame and success in F1 led to many endorsements and expensive driver contracts. His net worth is estimated to be around $220million.

Alonso is listed as the third highest paid F1 driver in 2018 by Forbes.
