Charles Leclerc has established himself as one of the most prominent figures in Formula 1, not only for his racing prowess but also for his growing financial portfolio. As of 2024, the Monégasque driver's net worth is estimated at an impressive ₹10,393.75 crore, largely thanks to his association with Ferrari and a series of high-profile endorsements.
Salary and Contracts
Leclerc's wealth is primarily driven by his racing career. He currently races under Ferrari’s banner, earning a hefty ₹249.45 crore per year following his recent contract extension. The new deal, which runs through 2029, also offers him the potential to earn bonuses based on performance, making his earnings even more substantial. As one of the youngest drivers to win a race for Ferrari, Leclerc’s talent has ensured his place as a key part of the team.
Endorsements and Investments
In addition to his racing salary, Leclerc benefits from an array of lucrative endorsement deals. Over the years, he has collaborated with several luxury brands, including Richard Mille, Puma, Ray-Ban, Kaspersky, Giorgio Armani, EA Sports, and Bang & Olufsen, making appearances in their campaigns and modelling for promotional shoots. These partnerships contribute significantly to his net worth, allowing him to maintain a luxurious lifestyle.
Leclerc has also ventured into investments, with a keen focus on real estate and technology, further boosting his financial standing—though he's also ventured into entrepreneurship with his recent ice cream brand, LEC.
Assets: Cars and Yachts
Leclerc’s lifestyle reflects his wealth, with notable assets such as a Bugatti Chiron, priced at ₹19.24 crore in India, one of the fastest and most powerful cars in his collection. Additionally, he owns a ₹16.63 crore yacht named "Monza," showcasing his taste for luxury. Though the Chiron is his most expensive car, Leclerc's passion for Ferrari is though evident in his expansive collection, which includes the 488 Pista Spider valued at ₹2.91 crore, the 812 Competizione Aperta at ₹4.99 crore, the sleek Roma priced at ₹1.83 crore, and the rare Daytona SP3 worth a staggering ₹18.71 crore. His fleet also features the versatile GTC4 Lusso, valued at ₹2.49 crore, the high-performance SF90 Stradale at ₹5.20 crore, and Ferrari’s first SUV, the Purosangue, costing ₹3.33 crore.
Altogether, the value of Leclerc's luxury cars, yacht, and Bugatti stands at approximately ₹810.30 crore, a true reflection of his opulent lifestyle off the track.
As Leclerc continues to push the limits on the track, his net worth is expected to grow even further in the coming years. With Ferrari extending his contract and a string of podium finishes, the young Monégasque’s financial success seems as assured as his racing career.
