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 UღS sportspeople.

Hamilton’s i﷽ncome from F1 was $57m (£47m) and his extra revenue🐼 was $8m (£7m).

Interestingly his F1 income has dropped from $70m in 2021 (in part due to the worst statistical 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 ou𒁏tside of F1, including a stake in NFL franchise the Denver Broncos, contribute to his total.

In 2022 he was No1 in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 drivers salaries list, slightly above Verstappen.

The Mercedes driver is contracted for one more season but plan🧜s to extend his stay.

Verstappen’s income outside of F1 totals jus🐠t $2m (£1.6m).

He is on a long contract at Red Bull and, if the dominance that has seen him r🥃ack up consecutive championships continues, then his earningꦛs outside of F1 could escalate too.
