Marc Márquez is one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time. Born in Cervera in Catalonia, he won the 125cc world title in 2010 and the Moto2 title in 2012, then became the youngest MotoGP champion ever in his rookie season with Repsol Honda in 2013. He won five more premier-class titles by 2019 before a broken arm at Jerez in 2020 led to several operations and years of struggle.
He gave up the last year of his Honda contract to join the Gresini Ducati team in 2024, moved to the factory Ducati Lenovo Team in 2025 and won his seventh MotoGP title, and ninth world title overall, that year. In November 2024 Forbes España put his net worth at €80 million, making him the fourth-richest Spanish athlete behind Rafael Nadal, Andrés Iniesta and Sergio Ramos, Mundo Deportivo reported. That is about $89 million at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate.
How he made his money
For years Márquez was the best-paid rider in MotoGP. Spanish media report that his last Honda deal was worth around €25 million a season, and he walked away from it to race a satellite Ducati. Forbes puts his factory Ducati salary at about €12 million a year, before bonuses for wins and titles. These are earnings figures, not wealth.
Long-running sponsorships, led by Estrella Galicia, which has backed him since his early career, add to that, along with property such as his home in the La Finca estate near Madrid. Spanish outlets were still citing the Forbes España figure of more than €80 million after his 2025 title.
About this estimate
Forbes España, the Spanish edition of Forbes, publishes its list of the 100 richest Spaniards every autumn, together with a look at the fortunes in Spanish sport. No Spanish athlete is rich enough to make that top 100, so the magazine lists the leading sports fortunes separately, with its own estimate of what each person owns. Márquez first appeared in its ranking of Spanish sporting fortunes in November 2024, when it put him fourth among athletes, the only motorcycle racer on the list.
The figures are Forbes España's estimates of net worth, not income, and they are rounded to the nearest million euros. We show each one as published, in euros, with a rough dollar conversion at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate, and link every number to its source. Contracts and prize money mentioned on this page are earnings, not wealth.
