Do you want to know the salary of MotoGP riders?

Do you want to know the salary of MotoGP riders?

We compiled an unofficial list with the salary of almost every MotoGP rider competing in the 2019 season. Do you want to know who gets more money?

MotoGP Rider Salary

MotoGP riders earn a lot of money every season. And although this isn’t the first time we write about it, this time we’ve compiled a list with all riders. The 2019 MotoGP season is filled with great riders, and some of them earn big money from their teams.

For example, our own Hafizh Syahrin is reported to get around 1 million euros from Red Bull KTM Tech3. Hafizh Syahrin salary is the 14th highest paid rider. A lot of money, but still very far away from the “big boys” in MotoGP! Of course, the rider with the biggest salary is Marc Marquez. The Spaniard earns between 13 to 16 million euros from Honda Racing Corporation.

The second rider on the list is Italian Valentino Rossi, with a salary of almost 9 million euros. The Italian though, gets most of his income from percentages on merchandising Yamaha Racing sells, so in reality, and according to rumours, Rossi is, in fact, the rider with the biggest income per season.

Here’s the complete list (the values aren’t official! These are based on rumours as values are kept in secret)

 

1 – Marc Marquez 13,3 to 16 Mil. Euros  RM  74 to 61,712,000
2 – Valentino Rossi 8,9 Million Euros  RM   41,296,000
3 – Andrea Dovizioso 6,2 Million Euros  RM   28,768,000
4 – Maverick Vinales 4,45 Million Euros  RM   20,648,000
5 – Jorge Lorenzo 4,2 Million Euros  RM   19,488,000
6 – Danilo Petrucci 2,5 Million Euros  RM   11,600,000
7 – Johann Zarco 2,2 Million Euros  RM   10,208,000
8 – Cal Crutchlow 2,2 Million Euros  RM   10,208,000
9 – Alex Rins 1,8 Million Euros  RM     8,352,000
10 – Joan Mir 1,11 Million Euros  RM     5,150,400
11 – Andrea Iannone 1,1 Million Euros  RM     5,104,000
12 – Pol Espargaro 890 Thousand Euros  RM     4,129,600
13 – Aleix Espargaro 800 Thousand Euros  RM     3,712,000
14 – Hafizh Syahrin 800 Thousand Euros  RM     3,712,000
15 – Miguel Oliveira 669 Thousand Euros  RM     3,104,160
16 – Franco Morbidelli 656 Thousand Euros  RM     3,043,840
17 – Jack Miller 534 Thousand Euros  RM     2,477,760
18 – Takaaki Nakagami  not available  not available

With more than ten years as a motorcycle journalist, i enjoy everything that has to do with two-wheels. I'm a fan of sport bikes and i prefer riding them on a racetrack, but give me a road filled with corners and good asphalt and i'll be there to have some fun!
