American race car driver Jeff Gordon has an estimated net worth of $210 million. He is known to be one of NASCAR's best drivers of all time. He is the vice chairman of Hendrick Motorsports. Gordon began his journey in 1991 and went on to deliver outstanding performances over 24 years. More than half of his fortune is attributed to his race car driving. He later became one of the significant shareholders of the Hendrick Motor Sports Company where he once was a Race car driver himself.

Gordon was recently in the news for selling his four-bedroom condo unit in Madison Square Park at a lucrative price. The 5,000 square feet condo at 21 E. 26th St., No. 2 was listed just below $13 million but sold for an impressive $13.5 million, per Crain's New York Business.

What are Jeff Gordon's sources of income?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jeff Gordon has earned over $500 million in winnings and endorsements during his entire racing career. 

Salary

He earned close to $30 million every year from salary and endorsements. It was reported that out of the $30 million, almost $20 million comes from endorsements. However, his net worth has plummeted in the last few years and the reason is mostly the divorce from his ex-wife Brooke Gordon. As part of the settlement, Jeff reportedly paid Brooke over $100 million worth of cash and property. 

Brand endorsements

Jeff Gordon has been sponsored by Pepsi for a long time now but there was a time when he had a partnership with Coca-Cola. Gordon also has ties with Kellogg Company, Frito-Lay, Ray-Ban and Edy's.



 

Jeff Gordon lives with his wife and kids in the South Park of Charlotte, North Carolina. The home boasts a pool, a wine cellar, a bar and a life-sized playroom for his daughter. He also had a 3,454-square-foot New York City apartment which he sold in 2013 for a stunning $30 million. Before that, he had a 1-acre property in Boca Raton, Florida where he got a 16,500-square-foot palatial mansion constructed. He sold the mansion for $13.3 million back in 2003.
