Jimmie Johnson: $14.25 million

In 2013, Jimmie Johnson shelled out $14.25 million for a 3,234 square foot apartment in one of the most exclusive areas in New York City. According to his real estate agent, Lisa Rose, Johnson already owned a unit in this pricey building, but wanted to upgrade to a bigger unit.

It’s not cheap to live in the Big Apple — Johnson paid far more for this Manhattan apartment than most other drivers paid for their (much larger) homes in the South.

But as the old saying goes, it’s all about “location, location, location.”
