'I love the parties, the boat, the plane, getting into nightclubs for free, getting tables at restaurants without having to queue, driving for Ferrari and getting the best-looking girls,' he once said back in his racing days.
He also said: 'If I can do something on the cheap, then I will. But I'll go to a nightclub and if it's £250 for a bottle of vodka, I'll pay. I'm not going to sit there among my mates who can't afford it, moaning about the price.'
According to the 2006 edition of the Sunday Times ' Rich List, his net worth was estimated to be around £160m (€187m).
