Summary
Lewis Hamilton said in a resurfaced interview that people "shouldn't be able to have billions" and that laws should create more equality and access.
Jay Shetty asked the seven-time Formula 1 champion what one law everyone should follow, prompting Hamilton to cite wealth disparity and homelessness in Los Angeles.
Estimates in the report put Hamilton's net worth near $500 million, with annual earnings above $100 million including endorsements and other off-track income.
The report also points to Hamilton's long residence in low-tax Switzerland and Monaco, plus his business holdings and investments, as context for renewed scrutiny of the remarks.
