Supercar Blondie picked up the Mercedes world champion in a black Mercedes G-class for a quick chat. During the chat, Hamilton revealed one of his first jobs from his humble beginnings, before he amassed his $285 million. “When I was younger, to make a bit of money, I was cleaning cars,” he said. “I was cleaning like as many people’s cars like on the street and I would do a really great job.”

The Billion Dollar Man even revealed how much he would charge for one car. “When I first did it, it was probably like 10 pounds ($12) but then I eventually got up to like 50 quid ($60),” he revealed.
