A private jet and a luxurious life. Max Verstappen is the current champion in Formula 1, but he holds other titles that are not strictly related to sports. This is the highest paid driver today and it clearly allows you to have an everyday dream, as many of the protagonists of the highest category of motorsport also have. The 24-year-old Dutchman is estimated to have a net worth in 2021 approximately € 60 million.
Verstappen this season occupies second position with his Red Bull, where he identified mechanics mistakes to stay in victory last weekend on the historic Imola circuit. His contract, valid until 2024, is one of the main reasons for revenue, as it generates a total increase in 50 million euros as base, which can go up to 65 million with bonuses if he reaches all sporting goals.
Beyond his base contract and his awards, the driver also receives money from all the sponsors he has in Formula 1, which makes him able to increase your profits to 95 million euros this season, which means an all-time record for a motorsport driver.
In 2020, in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, the 24 -year -old decided to take € 12 million of his fortune to get a private jet that he uses for his personal shifts. The pilot got the plane second hand after buying the jet from Richard Branson, a successful and millionaire English businessman who, at the age of 20, created a well -known brand Virgin Group.
the jet is a Dassault Falcon-900EX with many amenities built in 2008. It is designed to have a maximum capacity of 12 people, with two chairs that can be turned into beds to relax better, but also a place to relax and celebrate with a mini bar. In addition, it has a very luxurious bathroom. Every termination of the private plane is an incredible luxury.
The plane has three engines Honeywell TFE731-60 causing it to reach a maximum speed of 892 km/h and has a range of 8,750 km. As for the maintenance costs of the jet, it is estimated that it costs approximately one million Euros per year. The Dutch pilot had all the comfort in his move to be the best.
One of the main sources of income that facilitates the purchase of private planes is taking the world title in Formula 1 in the 2021 season of which he is estimated to have earned a total of at least 5 million dollars.
Not only did he prove his fortune in getting the plane, but he also bought and created a collection of top brand cars such as Aston-Martin. One of the vehicles you own is the model Valkyriewhich is a limited edition with only 150 units for sale. Its market value in December 2021 was 3.2 million dollars, equivalent to 2.89 million euros.
