Even After Having $55,000,000 Salary, Max Verstappen Allegedly Offers ‘Unpaid’ Job With Shopping Discounts for His Venture

Max Verstappen currently is the highest-paid motorsport star. His salary alone at Red Bull is $55,000,000 and beyond that, he must be attracting a handsome sum through his sponsors and endorsements. Yet the current world champion, on his website, allegedly got an advertisement for an editorial job, which is now deleted but went viral on social media, that would pay nothing except shopping vouchers for his website.

Being the best F1 racer of recent times, there is no dearth of wealth for the Red Bull star. Yet, Verstappen‘s alleged vacancy on his website didn’t want to offer any remuneration for the services towards his personal venture.

Unpaid internships or jobs are often frowned upon because of the big corporations fetching profits on unpaid labor looks unethical. Plus, the vacancy listed on his website gives a similar look.

Max Verstappen job offer pays no money

The vacancy seems to be removed from the website upon going through the website. However, several screenshots are still flying across Reddit and X, formerly known as Twitter, which are criticizing Verstappen for allegedly not offering money for the services given to him.

On the other hand, at best, the job description appears to offer discount vouchers and party invitations on the website. So, it further added to the ongoing fire against the Red Bull racing superstar.

This is not the first time Verstappen has been criticized for money. Recently, he was accused of not paying hundred of millions in taxes by living in tax haven Monaco.

Red Bull star called out for not paying taxes

With a net worth way above $200 million, Verstappen is set among the 500 richest in the Netherlands. However, he has been accused by his own compatriots for not paying millions in taxes ever since he has been living in Monaco.

Like most of his colleagues, Verstappen lives in Monaco, and he is reportedly living there since he was 18. As per Rutger Bregmen’s Linkedin post “his tax benefit will increase to at least 200 million euros ($213 million) over 13 years,” (roughly translated by Google).

Though, Verstappen’s entourage simply denies the accusation. His manager Raymond Vermeulen claimed that the F1 driver pays taxes in sporting performances that they put in the Netherlands.
