TO THE MAX

LONDON. – He’s the three-time world champion – so it’s no surprise Formula One heavyweight Max Verstappen lives a life of luxury away from the track.

At just 26 he’s already making history, joining the likes of Ayrton Senna, Niki Lauda and future father-in-law Nelson Piquet by winning the Formula One drivers’ championship for the third time.

Unstoppable Max has a lot to show for his hard work and talent – including a staggering estimated fortune of £165 million.

He also has a fleet of James Bond-inspired cars, a lavish seafront apartment in Monaco and a stunning model girlfriend in Kelly Piquet.

Here, we take a closer look at his enviable life off the grid.

The son of F1 legend Jos Verstappen made his debut at the Australian GP in 2015 and is now one of the top earning drivers in Formula One.

According to reports, his contract is worth £45 million a year – and is likely to increase given his impressive winning streak continues.

Max also benefits from endorsement deals from brands like G-Star RAW, Red Bull and EA Sports.

The Dutch driver also has his own MV merchandise company, selling caps, clothing and accessories. – The Sun.
