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.
