As the dust settles on the Lewis Hamilton contract pantomime it is worth remembering there was a delay in the resigning of Toto Wolff as team principal and CEO.

The three-year deal signed in December no doubt helped the Hamilton negotiations but what about Wolff’s long-term future.

Wolff has become one of the most powerful individuals in F1 and is flying high but like Hamilton, he recently mused about the commitment required on a personal level citing 280 hotel nights and 1,000 hours of flying in a typical season.

Toto has proclaimed for several years that he will leave F1 at some point telling F1.com back in 2016: “From my fundamental set-up, I like challenges and I am not attracted by the glitz and exposure of F1 at all. Probably, on the contrary, it complicates my life because there’s the risk that it sucks you in a bit, so I’m fighting that. One day, I will leave the sport and return to what I’ve done before and be a private equity person.”

Toto is a petrolhead and racer with a relatively short career with the notable achievements of runner-up in the Austrian Rally Championship in 2006, and the top spot in the 24-hour race in Dubai.

In 2009, he also became a lap-record holder on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Porsche RSR.

He decided to quit racing after following the rear end of fellow countryman Alexander Wurz and realising he was not at his level.

Wolff focused instead on his investment companies Marchfifteen and later Marchsixteen Investments which concentrated on IT companies.

Wolff came to understand the potential opportunities in motorsport with investments in Williams F1, German HWA AG, and BRR Rallye Racing.

This enabled him to fuse his racing passion with his business nous.

He also co-owned a sports management company with Mika Häkkinen managing amongst others one Valtteri Bottas.

Wolff rubs shoulders in the paddock with many billionaires and none more so than his friend Lawrence Stroll.

Wolff may harbour ambitions to join the billionaire’s club if for no other reason to finance his 4-year-old son’s future F1 career, after all the lad has the racing genes from both parents.

A few years ago, Bernie Ecclestone lambasted the new crop of team bosses saying,

“The trouble today is we are getting people whose intention is solely to make money. Toto Wolff is probably the best example.”

A bit rich (excuse the pun) coming from the man who ruthlessly exploited F1 to personally gain a multi-billion-dollar fortune.

So how is Toto doing on the potential billionaire status?

Well at 49 years old is already halfway there with his net worth estimated at between $450m to $580m.

Wolff no doubt has his eye on a bumper payday when INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe makes him an offer he can’t refuse for his 33.3% stake in the Mercedes F1 or Lawrence Stroll comes calling with a bucket load of cash.

In the meantime, the money keeps on rolling in with his $20m investment back in October in Aston Martin now worth $38m – a paper profit of $18m in just eight weeks.

When Daimler announced a deal giving them a 20% shareholding in Aston Martin the share price doubled.

Analysts are sceptical about Aston Martin’s future, but speculators are it seems not deterred.

Rumours persist (for the lawyers reading these are rumours and speculation, not accusations) that Wolff was privy to information prior to the Daimler announcement either through contacts at Daimler AG or indeed Stroll himself, either way, nice work if you can get it.

So, with a 3-year deal under his belt and looking to leave a formidable legacy with Mercedes domination in the hybrid era, substantial investments, and a happy family life for the time being all looks good in the world of Toto Wolff.

On a footnote: Toto showed his human side when he told the finding mastery podcast,

“When you have cameras pointed at you there is the danger of ego running away with you and you need to realize that. You need to be able to come back into your hotel room, look in the mirror, and say I’ve been a little bit of a dick today, that I got that one wrong.”

Carl Icahn told The Associated Press his philanthropic arm will donate $175,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City to replace money that would have been raised by a charity auction of the right to press the button to demolish the former Trump Plaza casino.

An auction house trying to raise money for a youth charity by soliciting bids to blow up a former casino once owned by President Donald Trump called off the effort Monday after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from conservative billionaire Carl Icahn.

Icahn told The Associated Press his philanthropic arm will donate $175,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City to replace money that would have been raised by a charity auction of the right to press the button to demolish the former Trump Plaza casino.

He owns the former casino, which has been in the process of demolition for months.

Icahn's decision came shortly after Bodnar's Auction canceled its solicitation of bids, citing a letter from Icahn's company instructing it not to proceed with the auction because it considered the public “spectacle” to be a safety risk, with the possibility of flying debris injuring the person pressing the demolition button, or others gathered nearby.

“From the beginning, we thought the auction and any other related spectacle presented a safety risk, and we were always clear that we would not participate in any way,” a spokesman for Icahn said in a statement.

Last month, Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small announced the auction as a fundraising mechanism he hoped would raise in excess of $1 million for the organization.

Opened in 1984, Trump’s former casino was closed in 2014 and has fallen into such a state of disrepair that demolition work began last year. The remainder of the structure was to have been dynamited on Jan. 29, but that date has been pushed back.

Small said he will announce the new demolition date on Thursday.

The auction house said Monday it had no choice but to cancel the auction after hearing from Icahn's company.

“After exhausting every avenue to bring the parties together to make this exciting event happen, we received the final decision from (Icahn) that we must cease and desist,' Bodnar Auctions wrote in a post on its website.

Company owner Joseph Bodnar told The Associated Press Monday he is working with Small to come up with a future auction “if possible.”

Small acknowledged the auction's cancellation and praised Icahn for replacing the money it would have raised.

“We agree with Mr. Icahn that public safety is paramount,” he said. “It is very important that we maintain a positive relationship with Mr. Icahn because the next conversation we need to have is what should be developed there.'

Trump, then a real-estate developer, opened the casino in a prime spot at the center of Atlantic City’s Boardwalk where the Atlantic City Expressway deposited cars entering the resort. It was the site of many high-profile boxing matches, which Trump would regularly attend.

Trump cut most ties with Atlantic City in 2009 aside from a 10% fee for the use of his name on what were then three casinos in the city. That stake was extinguished when Icahn took ownership of the company out of bankruptcy court in February 2016.
