Lando Norris on his most expensive purchase to celebrate success
During the press conference, Norris was asked if he had celebrated his promotion to the pinnacle of motorsport by splashing cash. To this, the McLaren driver revealed that he just bought airbrush equipment for himself.
Talking about this, he said, “I don’t tend to buy fancy stuff anyway. I don’t think I’ve ever spent over £1,000 [$1,200] on anything out of my own money.” Following this, he added, “The most expensive thing I have ever bought is airbrush equipment for my painting.”

However, this is all history as Norris seems to have moved past it. Once a promising rookie, today Norris is being tipped as a future world champion and regarded by many as the driver who will lead McLaren back to glory.
Coming into 2023, Norris is now a star driver
The ongoing season is Norris’ fifth season in a row. He has spent the entirety of his F1 career with McLaren so far, and has established himself as a top driver. Hence, it is no surprise that McLaren pays the Bristol-born driver $20,000,000 a year.
Lando Norris, who has a net worth of $25 million, has multiple McLaren cars such as the 720s, 570 GT, etc. Furthermore, he also bought a home in Monaco in December 2021 for an undisclosed amount.
By growing a a driver and increasing his net-worth, Norris has also learned to spend a lot of money on himself. Chances are, he will sign an even bigger contract in the coming years, which will all but increase his spending.
