Between Helio Castroneves' career on the track and his various endeavors in entertainment, the race car driver has acquired a pretty impressive net worth. In fact, Castroneves has won the most money for winning the Indy 500 with the $3,048,005 he took home after his 2009 victory, per Indy Star.
With the help of his prize money, Castroneves is worth a whopping $40 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Despite his massive bank account, Castroneves found himself in some trouble when he was accused of federal tax evasion for allegedly hiding $5.5 million in earnings from 1999-2004, according to Indy Star. He was later acquitted on five of the six charges during his 2009 trial. His last charge was dropped just one week before the 2009 Indy 500, which he won.
"I think my tears speak for everything," he said at the finish line following his legal struggles. "Thank you for giving me my life back," he said to team owner Roger Penske. With a net worth like Castroneves, this racer has earned a couple of victory laps.
