He shines on the track with his speed and talent. Outside in the real world, he has an impressive car collection that would put many to shame. Sebastian Vettel is what many of us wanted to be when we grew up; a world-renowned racecar driver and a petrol head with a net worth to leave all in awe!
The popular German Formula One racing driver started his career driving go-karts back when he was just 3 years old! Fast-forward to today, and the 35-year-old has managed to win 4 World Championships, making him one of the most successful F1 drivers in history. He has worked with some of the biggest names in F1 including Red Bull Racing, Ferrari, and Aston Martin.
His success is also reflected in his overall net worth. Although the majority of his earnings come from his driving salary and various endorsements, a large chunk of change is also derived from his impressive car collection. What is Sebastian’s net worth, and what can you find in his car collection?
What Is Sebastian Vettel’s Net Worth?

As of 2022, Sebastian Vettel’s net worth is estimated to be $140 million, including a modest $7 million farmhouse in Thurgau Canton, Switzerland. He ranks 10th among the richest F1 drivers of all time. The majority of Vettel’s wealth comes from his career as a professional Formula One driver, while his salary is estimated to be around $15 million a year, excluding bonuses and sponsorships.
In 2020, when he was still under Ferrari, this figure was closer to $50 million in the first year and $30 million in the following years. But the German took a huge pay cut when he decided to move to Aston Martin in 2021, with his new salary being just a third of what he was earning at Ferrari.
While the figures may seem large to us regular folk, it’s actually quite small in comparison to what some other top drivers in F1 are earning. For example, Lewis Hamilton is reportedly earning $55(£41.5m) million a year from Mercedes.

Sebastian tries to stay away from the limelight and prying eyes of the press as much as possible. He doesn’t have any social media account and has no intention of joining Twitter or Instagram.

Heading into the 2021 season as the newest member of the Aston Martin F1 team, Vettel announced that he would be selling off his Ferrari collection.

All the cars were located, registered and their taxes paid for in Switzerland.

Now, to the two-wheel section of Vettel’s collection. The Suzuki T 500 is a rare bike, and it is very difficult to find an estimated value for it. However, the Kawasaki H2 750 is worth around $25,000 and the Suzuki GT750 is valued at $10,000. The KTM Duke 390 has an estimated value of $5,000.

We can only imagine what he will do with all that money when he hangs up his racing gloves for good. Until then, we wait and see!
