Forbes had previously released their top 10 of 2022, confirming Hamilton had dropped out since 2021, but have now confirmed the entire top 50 which is 🌼dominated by US sportspeople.

Hamilton’s income from F1 was $𒁃57m (£ꦐ47m) and his extra revenue was $8m (£7m).

Interestingly his F1 income has dropped from $70m in 2021 (in part due to the worst statisti♊cal season of his career where he didn’t win a single race), but his revenue outside of sport has grown from $8m to $12m.

Hamilton’s many business interests outside of F1, including a stake in NFL franchise the Denver Broncos, contrꦦibute to his total.

In 2022 he was No1 in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 drivers salaries list, slightly above Verstappen.

The ꧑Mercedes driver is contracted for one more season but plans to extend hi⛄s stay.

Verstappen’s income outsid▨e of F1 totals just $2m (£1.6m).

He is on a long contract at Red Bull and, if the dominance that has seen him rack 𝔉up consecutive championships continues, then his 🍸earnings outside of F1 could escalate too.

James was a sports journalist at Sky Spor🔥ts for a decade covering everything f꧋rom American sports, to football, to F1.
