Expensive things owned by Rick Hendrick: A glimpse into the NASCAR icon's extravagant lifestyle

R ick Hendrick is the founder of the Hendrick Automotive Group and owner of one of the most successful teams in NASCAR history, Hendrick Motorsports . The 75-year-old American businessman has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, as per C elebrity Net Worth.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Hendrick's team competes in NASCAR's top division with four full-time drivers. Racing legends like Jimmie Johnson , Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have all driven for the winningest NASCAR team of all time. Hendrick's accomplishments in the sport have contributed to him leading an extravagant lifestyle.

Here's a glimpse inside Rick Hendrick's expensive lifestyle:

#1 Private jet

Hendrick, nicknamed in the NASCAR community as Mr. H, has a personal private jet worth $15 million. It is a Gulfstream jet that can accommodate 14 passengers and four crew members. The state-of-the-art business jet can fly up to a range of 5,700 nautical miles with a speed of approx 600 mph.

A yacht named 'Wheels' was built by luxury yacht builder, Trinity Yachts. Hendrick owns the 24-metre-long sea cruiser valued at $35 million. With a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 19 knots (approx 22 mph), this luxury vehicle can carry 12 passengers in six cabins. One of the many prized possessions of Hendrick's, this cruiser has an annual running cost of $3 million.

Born in Warrenton, North Carolina, Hendrick grew up near Palmer Springs, Virginia, and now owns a gigantic mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hendrick paid $3.65 million for the house back in 2000. The six-bedroom and seven-bathroom mansion is spread out over 12,000 square feet of area, and includes a swimming pool and a private golf course.

#4 Rick Hendrick's car and guitar collection

It is normal for the 'gearhead' Rick Hendrick to have his heritage car collection. The owner of a car dealership and NASCAR team has his private garage spread out over 58,000 square feet. From his first 1931 Chevrolet to all-time classic corvettes, Hendrick also has the Chevy Camaro from the movie 'Transformers' in his collection. His collection even includes signed guitars from Chris Stapleton to Loretta Lynn, and Justin Timberlake, among many others.

#5 Hendrick Motorsports

The home to 18 NASCAR series championships is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in 1984, HMS celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. Rick Hendrick's team has accumulated 310 Cup Series wins and 14 titles in the NASCAR Cup Series, including legends like Jimmie Johnson with seven, Jeff Gordon with four, and Terry Labonte with one. HMS's current full-time drivers Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson have claimed one title.

The four Chevy drivers in the 2024 Cup Series season Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, and William Byron have booked their spot in the upcoming playoff rounds. #5 Larson and #9 Elliott are leading this year's regular season points table, followed by #24 Byron at P6 and #48 Bowman at P10.

In a recent interview, Jimmie Johnson, one of the most decorated drivers in NASCAR’s history, credited his wife for his success. “ Chani’s support and understanding of what makes me, me, and chasing my dream. None of this would’ve happened at the level that it has or continue to take place if it wasn’t for her support,” he said.

The couple got married in 2004 in the Caribbean and have remained together ever since in their highs and lows. But one thing that is worth pointing out about the couple is the incredible way they started their new phase of life.

According to Nicki Swift , Johnson’s team owner Rick Hendrick “lent the newlyweds his 150-foot yacht for their honeymoon.”  The yacht in question is known as “Wheels” and its cost is something the likes of very few can afford.

What was the cost of the yacht?

According to Business Insider, “‘Wheels,’ a yacht that is 164 feet long, travels up to 19 knots, and sleeps 12. The ship has six staterooms and comes with a rescue boat, dive gear, and three-seat waver runner.”

The yacht is fully made of aluminum and has seating for 12 people throughout it. Wheels can carry eight crew members and it is equipped with the finest of the luxuries and amenities inside out.

A version of the yacht that Rick Hendrick had was on sale for $32 million .

So one can imagine how much it would’ve cost Mr. H back in the day.

In a recent interview, Johnson recalled how it was thanks to Jeff Gordon that he met his wife. Johnson recalled how he became friends with a freshly divorced Gordon at the time when he was at the start of his career.

“He was just newly divorced when I came onto the scene and going racing. And his means, and ability, and desire to see the world worked perfect with my single life schedule,” Johnson described.

“On that journey, I met my wife, and he helped introduce me to my wife,” he added.

In the coming season, Jimmie Johnson will be racing full-time in IndyCar as looks to add more to his illustrious career. And as has been the case for nearly two decades, his wife will be right there, supporting him.

Hendrick motorsports scheduled to make 'special' announcement for 2025, share this article.

Hendrick Motorsports is one of NASCAR’s powerhouse organizations, but its reach has gone beyond the sport in 2024. Kyle Larson put Hendrick Motorsports on a higher level when attempting “The Double” in Charlotte and Indianapolis in May. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, which left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths. Now, it appears they will try it again.

On Tuesday, Hendrick Motorsports and Arrow McLaren will have a “special” announcement in Charlotte. Larson, Rick Hendrick, Jeff Gordon, and Zak Brown are slated to attend the event. The expectation is that Hendrick Motorsports and Arrow McLaren will announce that Larson will attempt “The Double” again in 2025.

The Coca-Cola 600 and Indianapolis 500 are scheduled for May 25, 2025. Larson was only able to race in the Indianapolis 500 after weather delayed the start of racing’s biggest event. Then, Larson couldn’t drive in the Coca-Cola 600 after rain canceled the rest of the event. The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion is ready for another try, and this time, he hopes the weather will cooperate.
