During his 19-year tenure as Red Bull Racing’s team principal, Christian Horner has guided the Formula One team to
13 victories, and as a result, he has amassed incredible fortune. Horner, the principal of the Red Bull team, has
almost twenty years of experience in the Formula One paddock.
In 2005, Horner became the head of Red Bull Racing after the Austrian energy drink firm bought Jaguar F1. Since
then, he has emerged as one of motorsport’s most recognizable figures as a result of his team’s six Constructors’
Championships and seven World Drivers’ Championships. In addition to his well-known part in the popular Netflix
series “Drive To Survive,” Horner is the highest-paid team principal in Formula One, earning £8 million annually.
And throughout the years, that has brought the Warwickshire-born team manager incredible wealth.
Horner’s astounding £40 million net worth was reported by PlanetF1 in 2023. Even yet, Horner is still among the
wealthiest individuals on the circuit, even if it is nothing compared to Toto Wolff, the head of the Mercedes team,
and his reported £1.3 billion.
In fact, he is so wealthy that he can afford to buy 13 of Lewis Hamilton’s opulent Sunseeker 90 yachts, which go for
£3.1 million apiece. The recently disclosed Ferrari driver, whose net worth exceeds £200 million, purchased his
yacht back in 2009. It is not the largest of its kind, but it has an opulent interior with multiple bedrooms, air
conditioning, American walnut cabinetry, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a large entertainment system. A six-person
dining space and a barbeque are also included.
Hamilton lives in Monaco, where he maintains the yacht. And it’s only one of the many toys that the seven-time
world champion, whose collection of cars is valued at over £13 million, has.
Red Bull CEO Horner, meantime, made his racing retirement at the young age of 25, holding a number of positions
prior to assuming his current one 19 years ago.
Actress and former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell wed Horner in 2015. In the 2013 Queen’s birthday honours list, he was
also awarded an OBE. He received a CBE for his contributions to motorsport in January 2024 as part of King
Charles’ New Year’s honors list.
