Jimmie Johnson Net Worth: The Richest, Highest-Paid NASCAR Driver
Dale Earnhardt Jr. — named NASCAR’s most popular driver for the 15th consecutive year — was the highest-paid driver until this year. But in 2017, he completed his final, full-time season and has since taken his voice and net worth of $300 million and joined NBC Sports Group’s NASCAR coverage.
That makes Jimmie Johnson — who won his record-tying seventh NASCAR title in 2016 — the highest-paid active NASCAR driver. In fact, he actually knocked Earnhardt Jr. from his No. 1 seat in 2016 with earnings totaling $21.8 million — $16.8 million in race winnings and $5 million in lucrative endorsement deals.
Johnson, who is the only driver in NASCAR history to win five consecutive championships, also has the top net worth on the leaderboard at $120 million.
Chase Elliott Net Worth
Chase Elliott’s net worth is $2 million. He is the son of NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott. The younger Elliott ranks No. 11 in the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series standings.
