Where is Nigel Mansell now?

Mansell is enjoying his retirement and his achievements in his post-racing life, which include many businesses and successful enterprises.

In September 2023, the 1992 F1 world champion put his “hugely personal” F1 memorabilia up for auction.

It included 32 racing helmets, 78 baseball caps, 50 race suits and more than 200 trophies and awards.

Speaking about the auction, he said: “The collection is hugely personal to me. It represents the entirety of my career and is the vast majority of the items of clothing I have worn during my racing career; the helmets, suits and all the trophies I have won during more than 30 years of topflight motorsport.

“It is, in short, the material manifestation of the most significant moments of my career and it represents everything that I worked for from my teenage years through to the end of my racing career.”

In 2022, he sold two of his personally owned Formula 1 racing cars in Monaco, netting some $8.2 million.

Mansell is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished figures in the history of Formula One racing.

Born on August 8, 1953, he became a big name in the world of motorsport during the 1980s and 1990s.

His racing career in Formula One spanned over a decade, from 1980 to 1995, and he competed for various teams, including Lotus, Williams, Ferrari, and McLaren.

He is most likely famously associated with Williams, where he achieved most of his success.

In 1992, he won the Formula One World Championship while driving for Williams.

Mansell has 187 starts to his name and has finished on the podium 59 times.

He is now ranked second in the list of the most successful British F1 drivers in the history of the sport, behind Lewis Hamilton.

When did Nigel Mansell retire from F1?

Having won the 1992 Championship, Mansell was told his services were no longer required by Williams and he announced his retirement that year.

After retiring from F1, he briefly competed in other racing series, including IndyCar.

He won the championship in his first season, becoming the first person to win the CART title in their debut year.

Mansell holds the title of being the only individual to simultaneously hold both the World Drivers’ Championship and the American open-wheel National Championship. 

He retired from racing at the end of the 1994 season.

What is Nigel Mansell’s net worth?

Nigel Mansell has an estimated net worth of $90 million.

He is among the top 20 richest racing drivers in the world. 

During the height of his racing, it is understood that he was reportedly earning a whopping 4.6 million euros per season.

At the time, this eye-watering figure crowned him as the highest-paid British sportsperson.

Who is Nigel Mansell’s wife and does he have children?

Nigel Mansell is married to Roseanne Mansell.

The couple tied the knot in 1975 and lived on the Isle of Man until 1995.

The couple has two children, Greg Mansell and Liam Mansell.

In September 2004, Roseanne was diagnosed with cancer which Nigel regarded as a tough time in his life.

In an interview with The Guardian, he said that his wife’s illness had played a part in his decision to let his sons take up motorsport.

“A number of things have happened in my wife’s life and mine over the past couple of years to make us realise that you’re only here once.

“If something makes someone happy then that’s what they should do.

“Although part of me still wants them to wake up and say this isn’t a good idea,” he said.
