In the sporting world, Formula One represents the glitz and glamour. It even acts as a magnet for millionaires, billionaires, and celebrities to each race. The drivers themselves, are highly paid to race, and they know how to spend their hard-earned money. Recently, Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
The 30-year old Australian sported a $300,000 solid gold Patek Philippe Nautilus wristwatch on the show while he talked. However, the watch was not a recent purchase, rather a gorgeous piece bought back in 2017. Interestingly, boxer, Floyd Mayweather also flaunts a gold Nautilus, but his watch has rubies encrusted in it.
In 2019, Ricciardo teamed up with the Renault Sport F1 team for the first time and had a fairly successful season. However, the French manufacturer still finished behind McLaren, so they will be aiming to improve. When Renault signed him at the end of 2018, he became the third-highest paid driver.
