Piastri and Ricciardo on Australia's rich list
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri and former Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo made the "Young Rich List" of Australia's wealthiest citizens under forty. Ricciardo ranks 35th, his fortune is estimated at A$194 million, which is A$7 million more than last year. 23-year-old Piastri debuted on this list at 56th with an estimated net worth of A$122 million. His annual salary at McLaren is now £20 million, or A$41 million. In short, want to make money — become a racing driver (just kidding).
