Hamilton got papped handling physical cash at a currency exchange near Rodeo Drive, days after holding off Max Verstappen for a win while nursing a damaged car.

His net worth sits around $550 million across a career of racing and living on four continents, the kind of life that runs on handlers, banks and everything digital. He deals in euros, pounds, dollars and yen constantly, but we can’t believe him standing at a counter exchanging notes himself.

That’s the whole joke: the guy who just managed a car at 200-plus mph under pressure doing the same errand as any gap-year backpacker just off a flight to LA.
