What is George Russell’s net worth?

F1 Salaries estimates George Russell’s fortune at $40 million in November 2026. He races for Mercedes on a base salary of $34 million, under a contract running to the end of 2027, and has earned $120.5 million in Formula 1 across his career.

Formula 1 contracts are private, so salaries and bonuses are reported estimates rather than confirmed figures. The net worth figure compounds contract income with sponsorship and business interests.

Where the money comes from

Russell won the Formula 2 title in 2018, spent three seasons at Williams and joined Mercedes in 2022, winning in Sao Paulo that year.

His current deal pays a base salary of $34 million and runs to the end of 2027, with bonuses that can lift income to $50 million. Career earnings are $120.5 million.

Personal endorsements and a growing public profile add to the racing income, which remains the core of the total.

How we estimate it

Salary, bonus and career earnings figures come from F1 Salaries, which builds them from published contract reports and updates them through the season. We then account for sponsorship and business income to arrive at an overall net worth rather than annual pay.

Because teams do not publish contracts, a single reported number can move by tens of millions between sources. We use one consistent source across the list so the ranking compares like with like.
