Mario Andretti Net Worth: How rich is the IndyCar legend?

Mario Andretti is arguably one of the greatest and most versatile drivers of his era. The American raced in F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and endurance championships, and achieved some degree of success in all motorsport categories. Andretti's fame made him an influential public figure, and the racing star made a cameo in multiple movies.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Andretti's net worth is estimated at $130 million. This makes the 85-year-old the richest IndyCar driver to date. Former drivers Chip Ganassi and Bobby Rahal come close to Mario’s net worth at $100 million and $80 million, respectively (as per the same source), but the former F1 and IndyCar champion, Andretti, takes the top spot.

Mario Andretti made most of his net worth during his active years as a racing driver. Andretti began professional racing in the early 60s in the USAC Championship Car series before moving to racing the F1 championship in 1968.
