Okay, so some people might not agree because some believe that everything is easier when you’re the boss. So for those people out there, let’s agree that at the very least it’s not cheap being a NASCAR owner.
Getting a NASCAR team off of the ground is a multi-million dollar venture. You then need to add even more millions to that if you want to compete with the ‘big boys’ in the sport and even more millions if you plan on having more than one car in your stable. That being said, the payoff in NASCAR is huge.
If you’re able to get over the initial hurdle of buying into the sport, success in NASCAR pays well. Here is a quick look at what some of the top owners in the sport have made in their careers.
Please note that this information was obtained from multiple sources including Forbes, NASCAR, Celebrity Net Worth, Racing Reference and ESPN. Also, the amount associated with each owner is an estimate of what they have made in their career as opposed to their net worth. Keep in mind that money needs to be put back into the team in order to keep it viable. These amounts are not reflective of what each owner has in their bank accounts today although we did include that info as well.
