2. Paddy McNally (Estimated net worth: $715 million)
If you have read the How to Watch Formula 1 Like a Sir article, you would understand the luxury you get as you watch F1 races from the Paddock Club.
Joining this exclusive club gives you a prime location to watch Formula 1 with all the drama on and off track. Besides that, it also gives you VIP access to the circuit unlike any other attendance and provides you the high quality meals prepared on-site.
Paddy McNally is the creator of this VIP privilege. He was indeed the brain of Formula 1 hospitality business. It is the result of his collaborative hard work with Bernie Ecclestone since the late 1970s.
McNally is the founder of Allsport Management. Based in Geneva, this company handled track-side advertising at F1 circuits during races.
Ten years ago, McNally retired from the F1 hospitality business and sold The Paddock Club to Formula One Group for $350 million. I guess that is where he got most of his £570 million (or around $715 million) of estimated net worth.
