The Net Worth of the Biggest Athletes in the World

Fernando Alonso

Net Worth: $240 million

Only five drivers have more career victories than Spain’s Fernando Alonso. Currently racing for Alpine F1 Team, Alonso has been on the scene since 2001. The driver finished 23rd overall in his debut season, but quickly announced his presence as a top driver in the sport. In his second year, Alonso finished on four podiums — including his first-career win at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix — and finished 6th in the WDC.

After a 4th place finish in his second year with Renault, Alonso claimed back-to-back WDC titles in ’05 and ’06. While Alonso hasn’t been able to capture a third championship, he has come close a number of times. Racing for Ferrari from 2010-14, Alonso finished in 2nd place three times (’10, ’12, ’13) — losing to Sebastian Vettel all three times. After a two season hiatus, Alonso returned in ’21. As a result of his sensational driving, Alonso has built an estimated net worth of $240 million.
