Jann Mardenborough, the British professional racer, is consistently experiencing growth in his career and also making impressive money.
His net worth will increase even further once the Gran Turismo movie, which he co-produced with director Neill Blomkamp, starts generating profits.
Even though there aren’t any credible sources correlating his net worth, it is believed that the young racer is already a multi-millionaire.
Firstly, let us take a glance at how Jann Mardenboroughs turned his passion for video game competitions into a professional career.
Jann Mardenborough was born on September 9, 1991, in Darlington, County Durham, England.
He is the son of Steve Mardenborough, a former English professional soccer player with more than 300 appearances in the EFL.
Jann’s obsession with cars and racing grew significantly at a young age.
Eventually, reality hit him in the face once he came of age to understand the costs involved in becoming a professional.
Later on, he took all his obsession with Gran Turismo, a racing game on the PlayStation. Moreover, by the time he was 19, he realized his chances of becoming a professional were starting to fade away.
This was until Nissan’s marketing executive Darren Cox’s GT Academy came along in 2011.
GT Academy provided a chance for a professional racing contract to the winner of the online competition.
Jann’s diminished hope was finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. He won the tournament, walking past 90,000 entrants.
Mardenborough had no prior professional experience in motorsport before 2011. He was rewarded with a drive for Nissan at the Dubai 24 Hour race.
Moreover, he has also competed in the Toyota Racing Series, FIA World Endurance Championship, Formula E, Super Taikyu-ST-X, and many more tracks.

A Tragic Incident
On March 28, 2015, Jann’s GT3-class Nissan GT-R Nismo caught air at the Flugplatz section of the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
In a flash, the car went past the barrier and into the crowd.
This incident resulted in the death of one spectator and left many injured. Mardenborough, however, wasn’t severely injured.
Moreover, shedding light on this tragic accident and giving tribute to the lost soul, he permitted the moviemakers to include his 2015 horror crash.
He stated,” It would have been a disservice to the audience if it was not included.”
