With 16 years in Formula 1, seven championships, and one of the highest-paid drivers on the grid and history, there is no measure of Lewis Hamilton’s wealth. The Brit is one of the richest drivers the sport has ever produced. Hamilton’s current net worth is at a whopping $285 million. With his latest Mercedes contract, this number is only going to increase. So what does a man with all this money do? He spends it. Lewis Hamilton has a massive car collection in his name and he loves his Mercedes cars. The Brit has spent over $3.6 million on the Mercedes brand alone. This is exactly why this never seen before picture of Hamilton makes it all the more special.

In this day and age, we hardly miss out on any updates about our favorite celebrities. Becoming an F1 driver is as good as being one with the eyes of the entire world locked on you every waking moment. So anything an F1 driver does or says on and off the track spreads like wildfire.

Not only the most expensive but also the fastest car in Hamilton’s collection is the LaFerrari Aperta. The open-top variant is the most expensive car Hamilton owns. With a top speed of 217 mph, the Aperta can go from 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds. Talk about a rocket ship.

It certainly costs as much as well with the LaFerrari costing a whopping $11.3 million. Hamilton owns one of the 210 models ever produced of this rare gem. However, pleading his allegiance to the environment, Hamilton sold his fastest on-road car.
