A Monacan
Born and raised in Monte Carlo, Leclerc didn’t grown up rich.
However, since 2018 his profile and pay packet has steadily risen in motorsport.
In his younger years, luxury watchmaker Richard Mille sponsored him and today Italian fashion house Giorgio Armani uses the suave Monacan as a brand ambassador.
He lives in a spacious apartment like many of his F1 rivals in the tax-haven.
Last year, he gave fans a glimpse into his fabulous lifestyle in a video he shared on social media.
The clip shows Leclerc in his abode playing an expensive handcrafted Steinway & Sons piano – talking point of his living room.
We also get a snapshot of his kitchen – complete with a white marble countertop, sleek white cabinets and a wine fridge.

Set sail
As is the norm in Monte Carlo, it’s essential to sail the seas in a boat.
Luckily for Leclerc, he has his own super yacht that he regularly entertains girlfriend, Charlotte and his pals on.
Aptly called Monza, named after the Grand Prix he won in 2019, it’s a Riva DolceRiva worth £1.5million.
It measures 48-feet long and can accommodate up to four guests in two cabins.
The lower deck features a L-shaped sofa with a coffee table in the middle.
While the living area has a massive king-size bed along with a neatly-designed bathroom.
Capable of a top speed of 35 knots, it was built in 2020.
Leclerc happily shows off his prized possession on Instagram, when he has some downtime, and loves getting behind the wheel.

Flying high
Driving for Ferrari has its perks.
Leclerc joined the Italians in 2019, and has since had use of their amazing private jet.
The VistaJet, who partner the team, is fitted with beds and a number of comfy chairs.
Just a few weeks ago, Leclerc’s team-mate Sainz showed off the incredible plane as he videoed himself walking through the aircraft and posted it on social media.
He then took a selfie alongside Leclerc, poking fun at him as they awaited take off by editing the snap with the words,”Number 1 bull**** guy” above his head.
Sainz also added photos of the interior of the plane and wrote: “This is incredible! Thanks @vistajet.”

Girlfriend
Sharing in Leclerc’s success in Bahrain was his Wag, Charlotte Sine, 22, who comes from serious money.
Her dad Emmanuel is the director of Bains de Mer, a company that operates the Casino of Monaco.
Also born in Monaco, she studied architecture and now finds herself being an influencer.
She boasts over 420,000 followers on Instagram, and is believed to live with Leclerc in his apartment.
Leclerc is an avid gamer, who has a Twitch channel and shows what video games he’s playing online to fans
However, that once got him into hot water with his missus.
Hilariously, when she was locked out of the home, Charlotte had to subscribe to his Twitch channel because he couldn’t hear her as he was playing a racing simulator and had a headset on.
“So my girlfriend had to subscribe to my twitch channel to tell me to open the door,” he later revealed on Twitter.
Prankster
Also game for a laugh, Leclerc played a joke on his Ferrari team on the final lap of the Bahrain GP – telling his engineer his engine was broken.
As he was about to embark on what was to be the winning race lap, he hilariously radioed them with the prank just moments before crossing the line.

Leclerc revealed: “I did a bit of a joke on the radio on the last lap, saying that there was something strange with the engine.
“It gave a heart attack to some of the engineers I’m sure, but everything was fine. So yeah, very happy that this time we brought it home.”
Leclerc will be hoping to bring it home again this weekend at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
