Hamilton will take to the grid in Australia on Sunday in a race suit emblazoned with the logos of 12 sponsors boosting the team's coffers by £112m collectively in 2018.
To put that into perspective, Premier League champions-elect Manchester City's kits will feature around £95m worth of sponsorship from next season through deals with Puma, Etihad and Nexen.
Malaysian state oil and gas company Petronas are Mercedes' title sponsor and provide almost half of their kit income — around £50m per year.
Sportswear manufacturer Puma pay roughly £2m a year to have their logo featured.
Meanwhile, audio giant Bose, clothing brand Tommy Hilfiger, drinks-maker Monster Energy, UBS (finance), Qualcomm (wireless technology), Epson (printing and communications), IWC Schaffhausen (Swiss watches) and Wihuri (packaging products) are all seven-figure contributors.
Tibco (analytics software) pay the smallest amount — approximately £1m — for which they receive a spot just above Hamilton's elbow.
Hamilton also has separate personal endorsements with several of the companies — including Tommy Hilfiger, Puma, Bose and Monster Energy — adding around £10m to his annual income.
he Briton will sign a new three-year contract worth £120m with Mercedes in the coming weeks.
Hamilton's current deal expires at the end of the year and negotiations over an extension started before Christmas.
Team boss Toto Wolff suggested interests outside the sport were a key factor in those discussions for Hamilton, who became Tommy Hilfiger's global brand ambassador last week.
"He's a good negotiator in the same way that he's a good racing driver," said Wolff.
"We've discussed our visions for the future, how Lewis sees himself in the sport going forwards, his other interests and our expectations.
"We'd rather have it done properly in a contract than leave things open."
