Lewis Hamilton, a seasoned Formula 1 driver and a passionate traveler by nature, has clinched the world championship an impressive seven times, conquering circuits around the globe.
Surpassing Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 career race victories the previous year, Lewis Hamilton enjoyed the luxury of choosing from his selection of four opulent houses to retreat to before embarking on his quest for the 2021 championship.
With properties spanning from a £32 million penthouse in New York to an £18 million home in London, not to mention a getaway in Monte Carlo, the 37-year-old racer, Lewis Hamilton, is well-versed in the art of living in luxury.
NEW YORK
Lewis Hamilton’s affinity for the east coast of the United States is evident with his ownership of two houses in the Big Apple. In 2019, he invested £32 million in a Manhattan penthouse located in a condo development, which happened to be partially owned by NFL legend Tom Brady and his model spouse, Gisele Bundchen. This acquisition not only showcases Hamilton’s penchant for luxurious living but also highlights his connections with renowned figures in different realms.
In addition to boasting a spacious outdoor area with panoramic views of the Hudson River, Lewis Hamilton’s 6,547 square foot property is equipped with luxurious amenities. Among these features are a swimming pool, fitness center, squash court, library, and a well-appointed wine cellar. Notably, the Formula 1 champion shares his upscale neighborhood with notable celebrities, including Mike Myers, the actor famous for Austin Powers, and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. The lavish offerings of Hamilton’s residence reflect both his penchant for opulence and his status among the elite in the entertainment industry.
Around the same time, Lewis Hamilton put his 8,900-square-foot, three-story penthouse, featuring a private pool, on the market. Interestingly, Hamilton never took up residence in this luxurious Tribeca property, which he acquired for £34 million in 2017. Whether he eventually decides to sell it remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this opulent real estate holding.
LONDON
In the bustling capital of England, Lewis Hamilton acquired a distinctive six-bedroom detached home in West London for £18 million in 2017. This impressive residence was purchased from Christopher Bailey, the head designer of Burberry, and his spouse, the actor Simon Woods. The luxurious property stands as a testament to Hamilton’s refined taste in real estate, showcasing a unique blend of style and sophistication.
The spectacular home purchased by Lewis Hamilton for £18 million in West London features a ‘generous gathering area’ that extends to a remarkable 200-foot garden, complete with an outstanding summer house. Constructed in 1860 by renowned builder Samuel Johns, the residence boasts two large baths and four reception rooms, adding to its grandeur and historical charm. Despite the lavish amenities and historical significance, the duration of Lewis Hamilton’s residence on this property remains unknown, shrouding the luxurious abode in an air of mystery.
MONTE CARLO
Like many Formula One drivers, Lewis Hamilton has chosen Monaco as his place of residence. Although not much is known about his specific property, he shared a glimpse of his amazing view in a social media post, captioning it with, “A place I call home, Monte Carlo.” Expressing gratitude for living in such a wonderful area, he added, “Living in such a wonderful area is really a blessing. I feel like God is really illuminating me today.” Hamilton’s sentiments reflect both his appreciation for the stunning surroundings and the sense of contentment he finds in his Monaco residence.
“Sending you light & love for your day. On my way to Spa, let’s do this!!!”
Lewis Hamilton is rumored to reside in the exclusive Fontvieille neighborhood in Monaco. Reports from 2007 suggested that he was contemplating a four-bedroom, 2,000 square foot duplex at Fontvieille’s Seaside Plaza, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean. The cost for an apartment on the top level was estimated to be nearly £30 million—a luxurious choice befitting a world-class driver like Hamilton.
