Motorsport runs in Jack’s veins thanks to his father Mick Doohan, who happens to be a racing icon. The 59-year-old from Gold Coast, Queensland, enjoyed a spectacular career in motorcycle racing, winning five consecutive world titles between 1994 and 1998 in the 500cc category, which later evolved into MotoGP.
All of Mick’s championships came with Honda Power, with whom he formed an unstoppable partnership. His remarkable feats earned him the honour of becoming a Member of the Order of Australia in 1996 and receiving the ‘Key to the City’ from the City of Gold Coast in 1997.
In 2006, Mick tied the knot with Seline Sines, his partner of eleven years. The couple have two children, Jack and his older sister, Allexis. Interestingly, Jack might have followed in Mick’s footsteps if not for a childhood bike accident that broke his leg, steering him towards a career on four wheels instead.

As Doohan is still in the early stages of his F1 career, his exact net worth remains uncertain. However, signing his first contract as an Alpine driver is expected to significantly boost his earnings.
His wealth so far comes from his pre-F1 career. Doohan was initially scouted by the Junior Team in 2017 and made his single-seater debut the following year. He parted ways with at the end of the 2021 season after finishing second in the Formula 3 Championship, joining the Alpine Academy and moving up to Formula 2.
Once there, Doohan achieved P6 and P3 finishes in the 2022 and 2023 Championships respectively as an Alpine-backed driver, with F1 2024 seeing him focus on his Alpine reserve driver role. He may also inherit some of his father’s £3.8million ($5m) net worth in the future, while his time in F1 will likely attract plenty of sponsorship deals.
