Max Verstappen dominated the 2022 F1 season to win his second world title
Max Verstappen lives the life of luxury with the double world champion enjoying some of the finest cars, holidays and property around. Verstappen burst onto the F1 scene back in 2016 and has since reached the summit with back-to-back titles under his belt.
Express Sport takes a look at his incredible lifestyle.
The Dutchman lives close to former title rival Lewis Hamilton with the pair both in the Fontvieille district in Monaco. Despite his incredible success, Verstappen is not believed to own the Monaco penthouse himself.

The Dutchman is a big runner, both inside the gym on the treadmill and also out on the streets. Speaking to Men’s Health, Verstappen said: “I do a lot of running. I think I am a bit lucky because if I don’t do that for a week, I am not losing a lot of muscle mass.”

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Verstappen is worth a staggering £56.7m ($70m). He is one of the highest-paid drivers on the grid with Forbes reporting he was paid a staggering £48.5m ($60m) last season.
