Lewis Hamilton is one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers ever. Naturally, his success also brings with it immense affluence. One would not be surprised to learn that he has spent a good amount on collecting things most people could never even dream of owning.

Hamilton is among the highest-paid athletes in the world. Further, his wealth has allowed him to splash his cash on the most extravagant of things. Who would’ve thought that his most revered item would be a $2 million painting recreated on a gold ring?
