    Richest rally drivers in the World

    I'm thinking about rally drivers with a huge fortune, a.k.a. filthy rich sportsmen involved in rallying.

    My Top 3 :

    Michał Sołowow
    Aris Vovos
    Marco Tempestini

    Do you know more rich people involved in rallying ? I'm not sure, but Ireland has a few millionares / billionares that spend their weekends on tarmac rallies.

    No, "Norit" a company producing pills against diarrhea.

    I'm not sure he sold it though, but he was some kind of boss there. His estimated capital is about 95 million euro.

    Van Merksteijn family around 180 million euro.
    Erik van Loon around 140 million euro.
    Bernhard ten Brinke around 65 million euro.
    We've had Frits van Eerd as a former Dutch champ, whose family has a estimated value of 500 million euro.'

    But I guess that the Arabian guys beat most of these guys

    Nasser is doing ok now, but comes from 'normal' Qatari family, although there seems to be a connection the Emir of Qatar.
    Talking Arab drivers, then Yazeed Al-Rajhi and Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi are not doing bad, hard to guestimate their fortunes. But more then most here on this forum
