Think about it ! That's just his base salary , without his private sponsors deal money and race price money like victories ,podiums and poles .
Last year HAM ran 17 races - his 1 COVID race = "16 races"
45.65 Million Dollar:16 = That's "2.85 Million Dollar" to drive a race ..."ONE" race ! 
Or let us say 2.85 Million Dollar in 90 minutes !
Where I fall my friend ? That's really hard to tell in Belgium ..Because 60 % from my money is always stolen !
Well I "NEVER" see my entire salary (incomes) because 60% is for the Belgian government ..
Yeah .We are talking about "INSANE Belgian TAXES" ! You know what I mean ? That's your income - (minus 60%) !!!
You know how that feels my friend ? It feels like they pull your pants down in the middle of the marketplace my friend !!! 
Right ! 40 % is for my pockets . BUT !!! In the end of the year I will receive a paper from our Belgian Government in my letterbox ! And I have to pay taxes on my remaining 40 % AGAIN !!!
"Would you be ok with this and where do you fall, my friend" ?
My friend .That's why I'll say it again ..

You are worth as much as someone is willing to pay. It seems that Hamilton is worth 45.65M +. Not sure what else there is to say. Merc could have not signed him if they didnt want to pay.
