Piastri’s eye-watering fortune revealed in Rich list

Oscar Piastri’s success on the Formula One circuit has seen him make his debut on the Australian Financial Review’s 2025 Young Rich List.

The McLaren driver is one of 13 current and former athletes to make the list which requires a minimum fortune of $44 million.

Piastri, who at just 24 years of age, is driving his third full-time season in F1, debuts at 56th on the list with an estimated fortune of $122 million.

Fast forward 12 months and there is no doubt the Melburnian, who remains in contention to win the F1 drivers' championship this season, will be even higher.

He is currently one point behind teammate Lando Norris in the title race with just four races to go.

Retired Formula One river Daniel Ricciardo, who officially ended his motorsport career earlier this year, is 35th on the list with $194 million – reportedly up $7 million from 2024.

The highest-ranking athlete is NBA star Ben Simmons who sits 20th with $260 million.

Despite the 2025-26 season starting last week, Simmons is an unsigned free agent.

Golfers Cameron Smith and Jason Day were on the list in 41st with a $176 million fortune and 42nd with $167 million.

Others on the list include former basketballer and Sydney Kings part owner Andrew Bogut (53rd), NBA veteran Patty Mills (72nd), Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata (73rd), Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Joe Ingles (77th), Dallas Maverick shooting guard Dante Exum (81st), cricketer Steve Smith (85th), retired three time Grand Slam winner Ash Barty (92nd) and the Sydney Kings' Matthew Dellavedova (96th).
