Base case is our central scenario. Bear and bull cases show how uncertainty around private holdings, retained proceeds, taxes and liabilities can move the estimate.
Rankings use the current base-case estimate and show the wider bear-to-bull range on the full list.
Switch scenarios to see how the total and each component move together. The bars show each positive component's share of the estimated assets in that scenario, not audited holdings.
Bearman's Formula 1 entry arrived before he had a full-time seat. He substituted for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari in Saudi Arabia in March 2024 and finished seventh, a result preserved in the official Formula 1 statistics. The performance strengthened his candidacy for a permanent seat but does not specify a substitute race fee or an ownership interest in Ferrari.
He joined Haas full-time in 2025 after further substitute appearances. RacingNews365's preseason survey estimated $1M in annual base team pay. That rate is reported rather than disclosed by his employer, excludes personal sponsorship income and bonus terms, and is not proof of the amount Bearman took home after the year finished.
Unlike a driver with 15 seasons of Formula 1 contracts, Bearman has a limited record of top-level racing compensation. Early sponsorship or development agreements might affect his personal finances, but their terms, recipient entities, costs and cash receipts have not been verified. A high-upside racing career should not be capitalized as wealth he already owns.
The central $2.2M estimate is consequently tentative, bounded by $0.5M and $7M cases that leave room for commercial arrangements, retention and investments or liabilities. Actual ownership disclosures and contractual receipts could move the estimate in either direction; online comparisons without that evidence would not make the range more precise.

RacingNews365 estimated a 2025 annual $1M base salary for Oliver Bearman before the season began. That excludes team bonuses, personal sponsorships, taxes, agent costs and realized cash receipts. Made his Formula 1 race debut with Ferrari as an emergency replacement in Saudi Arabia in 2024, then secured a full-time Haas seat for 2025. The $2.2M central retained-capital estimate and $0.5M to $7M range are assumptions about assets personally saved from professional income, not a present value of prospective contracts or a sum of published gross salaries.

First estimate uses a rookie full-time salary anchor and independently models retained wealth without inferring a cash award from a Ferrari debut.
This is the first retained snapshot, so there is no earlier comparable Grizzly Bulls estimate to show yet.
A paddock-source preseason survey estimated annual F1 base salary, excluding sponsorship, performance bonuses, professional costs and taxes. It does not verify completed-year receipts.
