In 2019, Hamilton splashed out a whopping £32million on a stunning penthouse in New York.
Prior to that, he paid out £18m on a unique six-bedroom detached villa in West London.
He also owns a three-bedroom apartment in Switzerland and like many F1 drivers, he has a house in Monaco.
But Hamilton has revealed that the place he calls home is in Colorado, America.

Speaking to the BBC, he said: “I’ve never really been home [before].
“In my winter, I go to the mountains [in Colorado], which I really see as my main home, because it’s a house and it’s full of love and memories from people, the family that come every winter.
“Where I live in Monaco, it’s been somewhere I go back to and I’d call home but it lacks those memories.
“I’d be there for short periods of time. So it’s not been the easiest.”

Even Lewis Hamilton’s dogs appear to enjoy their time in Colorado

But there had been talk that Hamilton, 35, could leave the Silver Arrows for a move to the famed scarlet Ferrari with his contract up this year.
In an interview with respected Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, the seven-time world champ revealed talks took place over a blockbuster switch.
He said: “We were never really close.
“We talked on occasion but we didn’t go beyond understanding what options were on the table and they weren’t the right ones.”

Speaking about Ferrari, Hamilton added: “Our positions have never aligned.
“I think timing matters and things happen in the end for a reason.
“In recent seasons my contract always expired in years different from that of all the other drivers. In the end, it went like this.”

Hamilton matched Michael Schumacher’s record of seven world titles this weekend and there are calls to knight the Brit.

He also is now ready to hash out a new £120m three-year deal with Mercedes after what feels like years of speculation over his future.
The 35-year-old has just 43 days left on his contract with three more races in the 2020 season.
When SunSport asked the reigning champion if now was the time to sign up now he’d secured the title, he said: “Definitely it’s something that we do need to get onto.
I just always think, through the year that I’ve got a job to do, I’ve got a contract in place, I don’t feel like I should add pressure.
“It has to be organic and not something that’s forced. So, I thought I’d bet on myself.
“Naturally there are days when you think ‘what happens if you start making mistakes?’

“What happens if you get worse all of a sudden, you don’t put in these great performances?
“Does your value decrease? Does your bargaining power decrease? Does your reputation go off a cliff?
“I know there’s scenarios in life where you’re like ‘let’s sign up real quick’, so you guarantee your future, and for me, I’ve bet on myself.
“I do the work. I know myself better than anyone and I know what I can do, and I know how to do it. Better than ever.

“And so, I wanted to put it aside and wait until the job is done.
“So, probably over these next weeks – we’ve got three weeks in the Middle East – so, now it’s a bit more chilled but I still have three races ahead of me that I want to win.
“It’s not done but we will get it done, I’m sure.”

LEWIS HAMILTON and his Mercedes boss Toto Wolff toasted his seventh title with a few glasses of something special at 30,000ft.
But now it’s time to put pleasantries aside as they lock horns over a new deal.

Lewis Hamilton is F1’s top earner at £40m per year

Hamilton flew back to Nice before the short 30 minute transit to his Monaco home while Wolff was visiting his wife, Susie, who is team boss of the Venturi Formula E team based in the principality.
The 35-year-old has just 44 days remaining on his current deal with the Silver Arrows.
It’s a unique situation for his previous contracts have usually been tied up by September.
But then this Covid-hit season is not normal by any stretch.

Wolff and Hamilton have been forced to keep their distance, unlike their last contract renewal that took place in Hamilton’s kitchen over a takeaway pizza and lasted for ten hours.
Hamilton has taken his time. He says his focus has been on winning the title.
But with title No7 now secured, his attention will turn to his new contract, expected to be a three year deal worth £40million a season.
When SunSport asked the reigning champion if now was the time to sign up now he’d secured the title, he said: “Definitely it’s something that we do need to get onto.

While the financial details are expected to remain the same from his current deal, in this time of cost-cutting and the looming cost-cap to limit team’s spending, Mercedes know the value he brings to their brand.
His success and image have helped transform the three-pointed star’s association with an old man’s motor to one of the biggest and coolest brands in the world.
As a seven-time champ, Hamilton could name his price and Wolff would need to play hard-ball with the Damlier board in Stuttgart – a difficult position given his own future is not yet resolved.
Wolff, who also owns a 30 percent share in the team, is understood to be angling for a role of chairman, formerly held by the late Niki Lauda.
It would free him up for his other business interests, including his private shareholding in Aston Martin, plus giving him some more time with his family.
Wolff, says he will be sticking around in some capacity, having identified his successor.
And he is confident Hamilton will be doing the same.
Prior to Hamilton’s win in Istanbul, he said: “I don’t want to drop a date (when Hamilton will sign) because, if I do, everybody’s going to ask at every single race – but this is what we agreed.
“I think it was important to make sure that we have both titles secured and then have a more relaxed approach to the discussion about the future.
“It’s a good dependence on each other. We would like him in the car and I think he wants to drive the Mercedes – because it’s competitive.
“So, no, I think there is a good balance.”
