Before Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton established their dominance in Formula One, there was a certain Brazilian driver who was the man to beat and who, to this day, is regarded by many as the greatest F1 driver of all time. Ayrton Senna’s legacy goes beyond winning world championships and races. His race craft is what drew fans towards him and left his rivals shaking when they saw him in their mirrors. When it comes to pure raw speed and the impeccable control of it, there is perhaps no one better than Senna to do it. The Brazilian was a three-time world champion, winning the crown in 1988, 1990, and 1991. He perhaps would have added at least one more title to his collection had it not been for arguably the most tragic incident in F1 history. Senna was involved in a nasty crash at the 1994 San Marino GP and lost his life at the age of 34.
At the time of his death in 1994, Ayrton Senna had a net worth of USD 200 million. He was paid USD 1 million each race at the height of his career. He signed a USD 20 million yearly pay contract with Williams in 1994. Every year, he made millions more through endorsements and retail sales. He made a total of USD 100 million from racing alone. Senna is largely considered to be one of the greatest drivers of all time.

Senna owned a lot of properties all around the world. He had an organic farm near Tatui, a beach property in Angra dos Reis, and a Sao Paulo apartment. He also possessed a big home in Sintra, Portugal, as well as an apartment in Monaco. The Brazilian enjoyed a variety of activities, including water sports, boating, fishing, flying, and riding motorcycles. He was noted for flying his own British Aerospace 125 private jet between his two homes. Depending on changes, a typical British Aerospace 125 would sell for USD 15–20 million. He also has the ability to pilot his own chopper.
