Kelly Piquet can regularly be seen on the Formula 1 paddock. First as Daniil Kvyat’s girlfriend and, since 2020, as Max Verstappen’s partner. What is the Brazilian’s net worth living with the three-time world champion?
Kelly’s father: Nelson Piquet Sr.
That Piquet and Verstappen met is no big surprise. After all, Kelly grew up with F1, being the daughter of Nelson Piquet. The Brazilian F1 legend especially made his name in the 1980s, in which he won the Formula 1 world title three times. Kelly did not experience the world titles herself, as the Brazilian was born in 1988, one year after Nelson Piquet Sr’s last title.
Kelly was born on 7 December 1988 in Homburg. She would not spend most of her time in Germany, however; Kelly did so in the south of France. At 12, she moved to Brazil and between 15 and 17 she also studied in England. This was also followed by a period in New York at Marymount Manhattan College.
As a model, Piquet then made her name for PatBO and Lucas Boccalão. She also walked on several runways. In 2015, she made the switch to racing when she started covering social media for Formula E.
Kelly Piquet: what is her net worth?
With the work Piquet has done and continues to do over the years, she has earned quite a bit. Kelly Piquet’s worth is estimated to be between $1 million and $3 million. This is in stark contrast to her father’s fortune. Nelson Piquet senior’s wealth is estimated at $200 million.
Salary and wealth of Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen is among the highest-earning F1 drivers on the grid. In 2023, he was by far the highest-paid driver in the king class, with an annual salary of almost €60 million. That secured the Dutchman the 22nd spot on the Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid athletes. Verstappen’s assets in 2023 are estimated – by Quote 500 – to be around €150 million, putting him in 428th place on the list.
