There are usually a number of things at work that go towards someone’s achievement, therefore discussions are frequent. There have been discussions on the contributing variables in the community since the Mercedes F1 Supremo Toto Wolff recently made the list of billionaires. Although Forbes claims that Drive to Survive, a Netflix smash, has helped the Austrian reach a billion dollars, the most recent point that has been made will astound you.

12 newcomers from the realm of sports, such as LeBron James, Tiger Woods, and Wolff, are included in the 2023 World Billionaires list. Since 2013, Wolff has served as the team’s team principal Mercedes. He initially possessed 30% ownership of the team. This was later expanded to a 33% share divided equally between INEOS and Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes Benz. The Silver Arrows’ growth has exploded in recent years as a result of its eight constructors’ titles. This has also indirectly benefited Wolff. The Austrian’s enormous gain in worth is also attributed to F1’s flourishing as a result of the Netflix blockbuster, ‘Drive to Survive.’

However, amid all of these factors, we might have overlooked Wolff’s 1% ownership share in Aston Martin, the team who uses Mercedes ‘ engine. And gosh, what a job the green shining team has done! In addition to competing against some highly regarded teams, Aston Martin has improved its value by $300 million thanks to Fernando Alonso‘s podium finish after his first race in Bahrain.

The hosts of the Red Flag podcast while discussing the resurgence of Lewis Hamilton‘s adversary have spoken about how Fernando Alonso’s track prowess and back-to-back podiums have greatly enhanced Wolff’s fortunes. The host said, ” You know part of why he’s now a billionaire. Fernando f**king Alonso. He owns a 1% stake in Aston Martin. It always comes back to the king, to the dark Lord.” While praising Alonso, the host jokingly said, “Because he fucking did. Because he’s got a piece of a*s. Now I want Fernando to lose. I’m kidding I’m kidding.”
