This year Larson repeated what Elliott achieved last year. The No.5 driver lifted the Cup Series trophy in 2021.
It’s no doubt that both young drivers are the future of Hendrick Motorsports for many years.

So, it’s not wrong to assume that the two drivers take home a hefty paycheck courtesy of their exploits in the top tier of NASCAR.
Let’s explore how the two teammates fare against each other in the green.
Chase Elliott
Chase Elliott has a reported net worth of around $12 million.
Born and raised in Georgia, Elliott resides with his family in the state he was born in. His house took an estimated $2 million to construct.
With his win in Phoenix last year, the 25-year-old became the third-youngest driver in NASAR history to win the Cup Series title.
Elliott is sponsored by UniFirst, NAPA, Chevrolet, Mountain Dew, Bosch and Siemens.
The 29-year-old also runs a foundation named after him. The Chase Elliott Foundation aims to help impoverished and unfortunate people to live better lives.
Kyle Larson
The recently crowned Cup Series champion is also estimated to have a net worth of around $12 million. Born and raised in California, Larson put his two North Carolina properties up for sale for $6.2 million in 2020.

But Larson’s fortunes (literally and metaphorically) have dramatically changed since 2020. After being fired from his team and losing most of his sponsors, the 29-year-old driver blazed past the rest of the field in his title-winning comeback season of 2021.
He is currently sponsored by Chevrolet, Valvoline, Goodyear, and Siemens.
The No.5 driver claimed in 2017 that he prefers to fly coach over private and called himself ‘cheap’.
Chase Elliott vs. Kyle Larson – Verdict
With all things considered, it’s fair to say that both Hendrick drivers are almost equal in finances and net worths. However, where Kyle Larson has an advantage over Chase Elliott is on track, where it really matters.
