Daniel Ricciardo, from Perth, became one of Formula 1's most popular drivers through his smile, his late-braking overtakes and his starring role in Netflix's Drive to Survive. He won seven races for Red Bull between 2014 and 2018 and gave McLaren its first win in nearly nine years at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix. He left the grid in 2024 and confirmed his retirement from racing in 2025.

The Financial Review Young Rich List 2025 estimated his wealth at A$194 million, 35th on the list and up A$7 million from the year before, even though he was no longer racing. That is about $136 million at the October 22, 2026 exchange rate.

How he made his money

Ricciardo's fortune comes mostly from his driving contracts. He was a race winner at Red Bull for five seasons, then signed big-money deals with Renault in 2019 and McLaren in 2021, when he was among the best-paid drivers in the sport. His Netflix fame also helped him land a wide range of sponsors and partners.

He has also built his own brands, including the Enchanté wine label and a merchandise line, and after retiring he took on an ambassador role in motorsport. The Financial Review reported that his wealth still grew by A$7 million in the year he stopped racing.

About this estimate

The figure on this page is the Financial Review's own estimate, published in Australian dollars. The full list sits behind the AFR's paywall, so we checked Ricciardo's figure and ranking in the media release from Nine, which publishes the AFR, and in reports by SEN and Nine.com.au. All of them give A$194 million and 35th place.

We show the figure exactly as published, with a rough US dollar conversion, and have not changed it ourselves.

The Young Rich List covers Australians aged 40 and under. In 2025 a fortune of at least A$44 million was needed to make it, up from A$38 million in 2024, and 13 current and former athletes qualified.
