F1 champion reveals €100m fortune despite flying taxi blunder
Nico Rosberg has shared that he has amassed a €100 million fortune since retiring as F1 world champion in 2016, mostly through investments in around 40 companies and founding Rosberg Ventures.
Despite some financial setbacks and regrets, Rosberg’s approach to investments mirrors his racing style – quick and bold decisions in supporting innovative founders.
The former Mercedes star, now 39, aims to instill financial responsibility in his young daughters, admitting that he wants them to learn to earn money through their own projects.
Though he may have some regrets over giving pocket money, Rosberg still remains active in the F1 world as a pundit for Sky Sports.
Rosberg’s biggest financial mistake was with an air taxi start-up called Lilium, where he faced losses due to premature battery technology, highlighting the risks of investing in ambitious but unproven ventures.
