Kimi Antonelli’s rise from Mercedes junior driver to Formula One’s most talked-about driver happened almost overnight. He’s the youngest championship leader ever, a double Grand Prix winner, and the holder of the youngest pole position record. 

While his on-track performances have been making headlines, how much the 19-year-old Mercedes driver has been making has also been grabbing the attention of a lot of Formula One fans. 

Here’s a full breakdown of his salary, bonus, and net worth over the years. This report is solely based on information provided by F1 Salaries, Celebrity Net Worth, and oversteer48. 

Base Salary

As per the reports put out by F1 Salaries, Antonelli’s base salary for 2026 has been confirmed to be $2 million. This has not changed from his rookie-year base pay. It also puts him joint-19th on the grid by base pay, tied with Red Bull’s Liam Lawson. However, the base pay is only a fraction of the money Antonelli receives. 

Bonus

Adding to his base salary is the bonus. For the 2026  season, Antonelli’s potential bonus is estimated to be around $12 million. However, as stated, none of these figures have been confirmed by Mercedes or Antonelli himself.  

As reported by paddock intel, the figures have been confirmed by a credible source. The bonus also makes up a big chunk of the Mercedes drivers’ earnings. 

Net Worth

According to the reports put out by F1 salaries, Kimi Antonelli’s net worth is estimated to be around $5 million. However, according to the reports put out by Celebrities Net Worth in June 2026, the Mercedes driver’s net worth is estimated to be around $18 million. 

His net worth is not solely based on his base salary or bonuses from the team, but also comes from his growing sponsorship portfolio. Per the reports put out by Celebrity Net Worth, Antonelli has five confirmed sponsorships under his belt. 

His sponsorship portfolio includes a personal deal with Adidas. Besides this, he also has a Mercedes-linked partnership with the luxury Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen, which has Antonelli positioned as a precision-engineering ambassador, with junior F1 driver endorsement deals typically valued at 200K–400K annually. 

Beyond this, he also has a partnership with Monster Energy, where he reportedly makes around 300K–600K annually. Other than these, Kimi Antonelli also has sponsorships with Police Lifestyle and Kart Republic & AKM Motorsport. 

His salary might be modest when compared to the rest of the grid, but between the bonuses and sponsorships, Antonelli’s earnings tell the story of a driver who is rising fast among the ranks of Formula One.
