Lewis Hamilton has turned his eyes towards various business ventures aside from his usual bid at the Formula 1 world championship. The Briton has been flaunting his riches after the end of 2023 season and is trying to take a break after the difficult 2023 season. His well-known bet in the entertainment industry has only helped him gain further monetary benefits.
Lewis Hamilton’s movie ‘Apex’ is all set to hit the big screens next year but the big project has been facing production hurdles this year even after their continued efforts. An interesting situation has risen up however, which is shocking considering the film is undergoing a crisis.
Hamilton reportedly pocketed $3-5 million from Brad Pitt-starred movie
Lewis is already among the highest paid drivers of Formula 1 but nothing can stop him from earning some extra bucks. It is surprising, however, that Hamilton manages to grab a profit of $3–5 million when his anticipated movie is undergoing a budget crisis and various other hurdles.
The movie had a huge budget, starting at $100,000,000, to make it the most realistic fictional film about Formula 1 ever, but Lewis’s role in the movie’s production will be able to secure him a healthy monetary benefit, allowing the F1 star to benefit a lot from this project a lot. Lewis has been giving it his all when it comes to perfecting the movie and Brad Pitt’s role in the Silverstone GP was proof of Lewis’s efforts. The movie may feature a cameo from Hamilton himself and several other drivers from the current F1 grid.
His dream movie isn’t having the best of time, though, as Brad Pitt’s huge fee of $30 million leaves very little room to spare, tightening their budget. Lewis has vowed to make ‘APX GP’ as close to a real team a possible but it can’t be done without a good budget in hand. Lewis Hamilton may have to consider his options in the future if he wants the film to have a record-breaking release and deliver on its promises.
