Kimi Antonelli: A meteoric rise and grounded values

His arrival into the world of Formula 1 promises a significant boost to his image and considerable income. Estimates from HLN suggest his fortune could quickly reach 100 million euros per year, combining his team’s salary, Mercedes, and sponsorship contracts.

Despite this financial windfall, Kimi Antonelli remains true to his values. His parents, Veronica and Marco Antonelli, insist that they continue to work actively. “We have never stopped working, even if many think we do nothing,” explains Marco Antonelli. “The only difference is that we now have to take care of Kimi.”

They maintain financial control over their son, notably by limiting his budget during his travels. Surprisingly, they still give him pocket money, demonstrating their desire to keep him humble. “Kimi has never let it go to his head and is not interested in fame or money,” his father confirms.

His main interest remains motorsport, and he is considering buying a car soon. He is not interested in fashion, and his mother still chooses his clothes, often with unexpected results: “I choose them for him, but he is incapable of putting them together. He would go to a wedding in shorts and a tracksuit,” she reveals.
