F1 legend Lewis Hamilton strikes it rich with genius deal as $10bn valuation looms

Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time F1 world champion earning a reported $60 million annual salary at Ferrari, was part of an investment group led by Walmart heir Rob Walton that purchased the NFL's Denver Broncos in 2022 for a then-record $4.65 billion. The franchise's value has since surged dramatically, with a $10 billion valuation now looming, driven by skyrocketing NFL TV revenues. Hamilton, 41, holds a minority stake alongside other investors including former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
