What is Austin Dillon's net worth?

Austin Dillon is currently worth an estimated $12 million, according to the website Celebrity Net Worth. However, that estimate likely doesn't include any income from his new TV series, which hit the USA Network on June 23, 2022.

Austin Dillon's talent and skill have certainly earned him a high profile, but he also comes from one of NASCAR's well-known racing families. Team owner Richard Childress is his grandfather, and his brother Ty Dillon is also a Cup Series driver.

Currently in the middle of his ninth season with RCR, Dillon has six top 10 finishes in the first 15 races. Like many athletes, he also has business interests outside of his sport. Dillon co-owns Team Dillon Management, an agency which represents several other NASCAR drivers including A.J. Allmendinger and John Hunter Nemechek, as well as golfers Chris Stroud and Brian Gay.
