Max Verstappen spent his childhood in Maaseik, a town by the Dutch border, where he was raised by his father, Jos Verstappen, who was a Formula One driver himself, and his mother, Sophie Kumpen, who was a karting driver. His uncle is Anthony Kumpen, a well-known driver who competes in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.
Speaking about his karting career, Max started competing at the age of four, and five years later won the Belgian championship. In the following year, he became the Dutch Minimax champion, after which he also won the Belgian Cadet championship. Between 2009 and 2013, Max competed in a number of championships and achieved significant results. One of the most important accomplishments was his participation in the 2010 KF3 World Cup as a member of CRG factory team, finishing in second position. Beside that, he took first place in the WSK Master Series in the KF2 class in 2012, as well as the European KF and KZ championships in 2013.
However, his career turned professional in 2014, when he started competing as a race car driver, making his debut in the Florida Winter Series. During the same season, he participated in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship, and won ten races in that series after which he became a member of the Red Bull Junior Team in the Formula One competition, which marked the beginning of an increase of his net worth.
In no time, Max began driving for Scuderia Toro Rosso – Red Bull’s development team – and became the youngest racer in the World Championship due to a new system of licensing in Formula One. In that season, he made his full-time debut at the Australian Grand Prix, after which he participated at the Monaco Grand Prix, United States Grand Prix, Belgian Grand Prix, among others. Thanks to his accomplishments, Max won such awards as Rookie of the Year and Action of the Year, which added a considerable amount to his potential net worth.

Most recently, he won the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix and as well as the 2017 Mexican Grand Prix, so his net worth is certainly still rising.
