Petty raced before modern prize pools and built a durable commercial identity around the No. 43, team ownership, licensing, appearances and Petty's Garage. A 2021 majority sale of Richard Petty Motorsports reportedly valued the controlling interest and two charters at about $19.1 million, but Petty held only a minority share and his proceeds were not disclosed.
- One net-worth estimate
- Reported team-sale price was not Petty's personal proceeds

Worth knowing
The King brand may be more valuable than Petty's historic race winnings, yet a team transaction cannot be assigned to him without knowing his ownership percentage and deal terms.
