In the high-speed world of racing, Lewis Hamilton stands out as a preeminent champion.
The British racing icon represents Mercedes AMG Petronas in Formula One and boasts an esteemed track record.
He has clinched seven World Drivers’ Championships, tying with Michael Schumacher, and holds records for the most wins in Formula One, which includes 103 pole positions and 103 podium finishes.
When he is not being a dominant force on the racetrack, Hamilton dominates on the business front. Hamilton, who boasts a net worth estimated at around $285 million, has invested in and set up a number of businesses.
