10. Jimmie Johnson (Estimated Net Worth: $120 million)
Overtaking five Formula 1 legends is Jimmie Johnson with $120 million of estimated net worth. He is currently racing with his No. 48 car for Hendrick Motorsports.
If you google his achievements, you will find a bunch of them. He is definitely one of the greatest in NASCAR, especially the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series where he became the champion for seven times.
He has been racing for more than sixteen years in this series alone. And in total, more than five hundred races he has competed in and he won eighty of them. That’s a lot of driving, and a lot of money!
Johnson is earning around $22.2 million a year from his racing career. That puts him as the world’s 82nd highest paid athletes according to Forbes. His annual salary is $16.2 million and his endorsement deals wrap up around $6 million. Those may not seem enough to put him on top-10 of our list but after five hundred races, you get the idea.
