7. Ross Brawn (Estimated net worth: $126 million)
Raise your hand if you want Ross Brawn back to Formula 1! From what it looks like, Bernie Ecclestone will be leaving the sport and Ron Dennis’s fate is still uncertain. It is sad to part ways with these people. Thus, the rumor of Brawn returning to F1 is like a breath of a fresh air.
Brawn was on the sport for as long as I can remember. The highlight of his career began when he became the technical director of the Benetton team. As the great Michael Schumacher won the World Drivers’ Championships with the team, Brawn was highly credited to the success.
Then, he followed Schumi to Ferrari. Together, they helped Ferrari to regain glory by winning the Constructors’ Championship for six consecutive times!
After Ferrari, Brawn became the principal of Honda F1 team which he bought later and renamed it into Brawn GP. Then he sold the world champion team to Mercedes-Benz for £110 million. That is probably where Brawn got most of his $126 million net worth.
