Former Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen, famously nicknamed “The Iceman”, remains one of the sport’s wealthiest and most admired figures. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated at $250 million, built from record-breaking contracts, sponsorships, and smart investments. At his peak with Ferrari, Räikkönen was among the highest-paid drivers in F1, earning more than $40 million per season.
Räikkönen’s career began with Sauber in 2001 before rising to prominence at McLaren. He secured his biggest triumph in 2007, winning the Formula 1 World Championship with Ferrari. After a brief stint away from the sport competing in rallying, he returned with Lotus, rejoined Ferrari, and later concluded his career with Alfa Romeo in 2021, retiring with a record 349 Grand Prix starts.
Beyond the track, Räikkönen has invested in real estate across Finland, Switzerland, and Ibiza, owns the motocross team Ice One Racing, and has business interests in hospitality and lifestyle brands. His strategic investments, combined with his racing success, ensure his legacy extends far beyond Formula 1.
