Fernando Alonso is Spain's most successful racing driver and one of the longest-serving drivers in Formula 1 history. Born in Oviedo in Asturias to a working-class family, he started karting at seven, reached Formula 1 with Minardi in 2001 and won back-to-back world championships with Renault in 2005 and 2006, ending Michael Schumacher's run of titles. He went on to drive for McLaren and Ferrari, where he finished second in the championship three times, and he has won 32 Grands Prix.
Away from Formula 1 he won the World Endurance Championship and two Le Mans 24 Hours races with Toyota and also won the Daytona 24 Hours. He returned to Formula 1 with Alpine and has driven for Aston Martin since 2023. In its 2023 survey of the richest people in Spanish sport, Forbes España put his fortune at €270 million, about $301 million at the October 27, 2026 exchange rate, second only to Rafael Nadal among athletes.
How he made his money
For most of two decades Alonso has been among the best-paid drivers on the grid, with big contracts at Renault, McLaren, Ferrari and Aston Martin, plus personal sponsorship deals. Forbes España says his fortune grew from €225 million in 2022 to €270 million in 2023, the year he joined Aston Martin and returned to the podium.
He has also put money into businesses of his own, including the fashion and lifestyle brand Kimoa and a karting circuit and museum near Oviedo that displays many of the cars he has raced.
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. Its 2023 table, published on November 10, 2023, is the most recent edition we could confirm on forbes.es with a figure for Alonso. Some later Spanish roundups repeat the same €270 million.
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.
