Sir Chris Hoy, the legendary Olympic cyclist, has seen the value of his personal company, Trackstars Limited, soar to over £2.2 million, according to the latest Companies House records. The firm, incorporated in June 2004, channels income from Hoy's commercial ventures, including TV punditry, book deals, and public speaking engagements.
The 49-year-old Scot, who retired from cycling in 2013, has built a substantial post-racing career. Trackstars' most recent accounts show shareholder funds just above £2.2 million, an increase of over £200,000 year-on-year and more than double the figure from 2020. Hoy's wife Sarra serves as a director, while his father David is listed as secretary.
This financial success stands in stark contrast to Hoy's early cycling days, when he earned around £24,000 per year from lottery grants and minor endorsement deals before winning his six Olympic medals. Hoy's net worth is now estimated at £22 million, dwarfing his modest beginnings.
Despite a terminal cancer diagnosis, Hoy continues to make public appearances and raise funds for charity. He recently spoke at The Calling leadership event in Glasgow, saying: 'Leadership is about how you respond when things don't go to plan. Over the past two years I've had to reflect on what really matters.'
Hoy, who has been given between two and four years to live, remains hopeful: 'There's people out there that are still around who've been in a similar situation for 20 years. So you know, there's hope.' He recently presented the Sid Waddell trophy at the World Darts Championship despite a mountain bike accident that left him on crutches.
