Following World War II, his family lived in refugee camps in Northern Italy for several years before securing a visa to emigrate to the United States. Mario Andretti was born in Montona, Istria-now a part of Croatia, but at the time in the Kingdom of Italy.
He also owns a chain of gas stations and a Toyota dealership. He is extremely active in his post-racing life, remaining a spokesperson for several sponsors, as well as serving as vice chairman of Andretti Winery. He has won races in Formula One, Ind圜ar, World Sportscar Championship, and NASCAR. Mario Andretti’s net worth is $130 million. That house was most recently listed for sale around $500,000 and was destroyed in a fire in 2019. After his Indianapolis 500 victory in 1969, the street was renamed Victory Lane. Prior to 1998, Andretti lived in a home on Market Street in Nazareth that he had built in 1968. Construction on the house began in 1995 and the Andrettis have lived there since 1998. The house overlooks the old Nazareth Speedway where Andretti won in 1969. The property includes a game room, a garden, and a swimming pool with a pool house.
