Max Verstappen, the highest-paid Formula 1 driver, continues to live a life of luxury with the latest addition to his extravagant collection: a $50 million private jet. This new acquisition follows the arrival of his recently purchased superyacht, further solidifying Verstappen’s position as one of the most successful and wealthy athletes in the world.
Max Verstappen's Impressive Income and Luxury Purchases
As the reigning Formula 1 World Champion, Max Verstappen has earned a staggering estimated income of $75 million for the 2024 F1 season. The majority of this income comes from his base salary with Red Bull Racing, along with a substantial $15 million in performance bonuses from his nine Grand Prix victories and his fourth consecutive Drivers’ Championship title.
With such a lucrative income, it’s no surprise that Verstappen has indulged in several luxury purchases. In addition to his newly acquired $50 million private jet, Verstappen recently took ownership of a Mangusta superyacht, adding even more opulence to his growing collection of high-end assets.
Verstappen Upgrades to a 2022 Falcon 8X Private Jet
Max Verstappen’s latest acquisition is a 2022 Falcon 8X private jet, valued at around $50 million. The aircraft, purchased by the Red Bull Racing driver, was recently captured by aerial photographer Gilles Brion. The Falcon 8X is a long-range business jet manufactured by Dassault Aviation, known for its advanced features and luxurious design.
The Falcon 8X boasts an impressive range of 6,450 nautical miles and features a Digital Flight Control System, which is derived from the French Rafale fighter jet. The jet also has a spacious and quiet cabin with multiple layout options, ensuring a comfortable flying experience for its occupants. Verstappen has customized his jet with his signature matte black-and-orange colors, reflecting his iconic Red Bull Racing team colors, and it will reportedly carry a new registration with the letters “UTL,” which stand for “Unleash The Lion.”
‘Unleash The Lion’ Theme Continues with a New Superyacht
The theme of “Unleash The Lion” continues with Verstappen’s recent purchase of a 33-meter Mangusta GranSport 33 superyacht. The yacht was commissioned two years ago and has been a highly anticipated addition to Verstappen’s luxury fleet. Earlier this month, Verstappen and his partner, Kelly Piquet, were spotted at the Overmarine shipyard in Italy, where they took a tour of the new yacht.
The superyacht features five elegant staterooms, capable of accommodating up to 12 guests, as well as three cabins for crew members. Additionally, it boasts a spacious sundeck, a beach club at the stern for easy access to the water, and multiple lounging areas. The yacht is estimated to have cost over $15 million, adding to Verstappen’s impressive list of luxury purchases.
Verstappen’s Future with Red Bull and Aston Martin Rumors
Max Verstappen still has four years remaining on his current contract with Red Bull Racing, but rumors of a potential move to Aston Martin have been swirling. It was recently reported that Aston Martin offered Verstappen a massive $1 billion contract to join their team. However, Aston Martin has categorically denied these rumors, and Verstappen’s camp has responded by saying, “It would be nice, but we haven’t received that offer yet.” For now, Verstappen remains focused on continuing his successful career with Red Bull Racing, where he has established himself as one of the most dominant drivers in recent F1 history.
Max Verstappen’s Growing Collection of Luxury Assets
Max Verstappen’s collection of luxury assets continues to grow, with the private jet and superyacht being just the latest additions. As one of the most successful and highest-paid drivers in Formula 1, Verstappen has the means to indulge in some of the finest luxuries available, from ultra-modern private jets to stunning superyachts. His growing collection reflects his immense success on and off the track, and it seems there is no limit to the extravagant lifestyle the young driver is enjoying.
With the F1 2024 season behind him, Verstappen will undoubtedly focus on defending his title and continuing to build on his legacy. However, it’s clear that his passion for both racing and luxury is something he’s not ready to slow down anytime soon. Fans can expect more thrilling races and perhaps more luxury upgrades as Verstappen continues to enjoy the rewards of his hard work and exceptional talent.
