Future Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll will inherit his father's fortune and surpass Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen's net worth by having nine times as much money as the two drivers combined.
Hamilton and Verstappen have won eight of the past nine championships, while the 24-year-old Stroll has yet to win an F1 race. Despite this, Stroll can still brag about the good fortune that will come his way.
George Russell claims that after he defeated Lewis Hamilton, “nobody will remember.” Stroll's father, Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll, made money by investing in the fashion and high-end goods sectors.
He began his career investing in the clothing company, Pierre Cardin, becoming the largest shareholder. Later, after purchasing shares in Michael Kors, he invested in other clothing companies like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein before selling the final of those shares in 2013.
Through the sale of Sportswear Holdings, which held the rights to brands like Pepe Jeans and Ralph Lauren, Stroll Snr. also made sizable profits.
He led an investors group to purchase Force India in 2018 for £90 million plus £15 million of their debt. Two years later, after conducting a £182 million investment, he became executive chairman of Aston Martin and named his son as the team's driver.
Stroll's father has a net worth of $3.2 billion (£2.65 billion), significantly more than the most recent world champions. Verstappen's current net worth is $70 million (£58 million), while Hamilton's net worth is $285 million (£236 million).
Along with earning a racing salary of £46.8 million, Hamilton has been working hard to build his business empire off the track. Last year, he invested in the NFL team Denver Broncos and owned his own production company.
