Forbes had previously released their top 10 of 2022, confirming🉐 Hamilton had dropped out since 2021, but have now confirmed the entire top 50 which is dominated by US sportspeople.

Hami🐈lton’s income from F1 wa♈s $57m (£47m) and his extra revenue was $8m (£7m).

Intereꩲstingly his F1 income has dropped from $70m in 2021 (in part due to the worst statistical sea💖son of his career where he didn’t win a single race), but his revenue outside of sport has grown from $8m to $12m.

Hamilton’s ಞmany business interests outside of F1, including a stake in NFL franchise the Denver Broncos, contribute to his total.

In 2022 he was No1 in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 drivers salaries list, slightly above Verstappen.

The Mercedes driver is contracted fo🎐r one more season but plans t💙o extend his stay.

Verstappen’s income🌠 outside of F1 totals just $2m (£1.6🦂m).

He is on a long contract at Red Bull and, if the dominance tha𓃲t has seen him rack up consecutive championships continues, then his earnings outside🌼 of F1 could escalate too.

James was a sports♍ journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American sports, to football, to F1.
