A pilot's income comes from the salary paid by the employer, but also from all other benefits. Or those distributed by partners without forgetting derivative products. And if, in addition, we have been able to set up a dedicated structure for their distribution, or even organize ourselves to sell those of the adversaries, the return on investment can far exceed the salary, which we will qualify as basic. On this level, Valentino Rossi puts the brakes on everyone. But even his end of the month at Yamaha is appreciable…

It remains that on this level and according to the calculations of Tutomotoriweb is Marc Marquez who is the best paid. 9 million euros is the value of a contract which, however, remains lower than that of Jorge Lorenzo in his time at Ducati. We were then at 12,5 million euros…

At the bottom of the official ladder, one would strangely find a Maverick Vinales to 1,5 million euros, or the value of a Andrea Iannone which broke the Aprilia piggy bank.
