The most influential billionaires shaping the business, technology, and future of Formula 1.
Formula 1 has never been more global, more financially powerful, or more culturally influential than it is today. The sport stands at the intersection of technology, luxury, competition, entertainment, and geopolitics – its modern ecosystem shaped not only by teams and drivers but also by extraordinary business leaders, innovators, investors, and entrepreneurs who power it from behind the scenes.
The 2025 Formula 1 Rich List celebrates the individuals whose wealth, influence, and strategic vision help define the sport’s commercial landscape. From technology magnates reshaping digital infrastructure, to luxury titans elevating the paddock’s global identity, to fintech disruptors, aviation pioneers, and industrial giants, this year’s list reflects the extraordinary diversity of the forces that drive modern Formula 1 forward.
Their involvement is as varied as their backgrounds. Some own or control teams. Others fuel the sport through title sponsorships, long-term partnerships, high-performance engineering, or next-generation technologies – from cybersecurity and AI cloud computing to digital payments, private aviation, and global consumer platforms. Many operate at the forefront of cultural and economic shifts, bringing F1 into new markets, new industries, and new spheres of influence.
But this list is more than a showcase of financial power. It is a map of where Formula 1 is heading. The presence of hyperscale AI companies, fintech and blockchain pioneers, cloud operations leaders, and digital-native brands highlights the technological transformation redefining competition on and off the track. Meanwhile, the continued influence of luxury houses, iconic consumer brands, and industrial dynasties underscores the sport’s enduring connection to craftsmanship, prestige, and international business.
Together, these individuals form the backbone of a global ecosystem worth tens of billions – one that reaches audiences in nearly every country, attracts the world’s most ambitious brands, and remains one of the most coveted platforms for innovation, marketing, and cultural impact.
The 2025 Formula 1 Rich List is a celebration of that power, influence, and vision. These are the people shaping the business and lifestyle of Formula 1 today – and defining what the sport will become tomorrow.
Methodology
Net worth estimates are based on the Forbes Billionaires Index, Bloomberg Billionaires Index, company filings, industry analyses, crypto-market wealth estimates, and editorial research conducted by Paddock Magazine.
Because many individuals in the motorsport economy hold private company equity, wealth is presented in ranges rather than precise numbers. Crypto-related fortunes are assessed using late-2025 valuation windows.
This list ranks individuals based on:
-
Estimated global wealth
-
Direct or meaningful commercial influence within Formula 1
-
Ownership, investment, sponsorship, or technology partnerships
-
Impact on the business ecosystem of F1
