FOOTBALLERS love to splash their cash on their motors.
The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are all petrol heads of the highest order.
And they love sharing images of their fancy cars on social media for all the world to see their prized possessions.
From Ferraris to Lamborghinis to Bugattis, there isn’t a fast car that these high-earners haven’t sat in the driving seat of.
Join SunSport and let us guide you through the most expensive cars owned by footballers.
Sergio Aguero, Lamborghini Aventador – £262k
The ex-Man City star, who has just signed for Barcelona, will want to take this one with him to Spain.
He drives a customised Aventador wrapped in black matte by car customiser Yianni Charalambous.
We’re sure it’ll fit nicely into the Barcelona’s training ground car park.
Francesco Totti, Ferrari 599 GTO – £342k
Roma legend Totti loved buying Ferraris when he was playing.
He owned a fleet, including a Ferrari 456 which the forward sold in 2013.
But his favourite Ferrari, which we imagine will never find its way to auction, is his 599 GTO that he paid £342k for and is probably worth more now.
David Beckham, Rolls Royce Phantom – £350k
Becks also has an incredible garage of luxury cars, and even has a penchant for fast bikes.
But when the former Manchester United legend is looking for a ride, he’s eyeing up luxury.
That’s why he has a Rolls Royce Phantom, souped up to the nines, that set him back £350k.
El Hadji-Diouf, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren – £420k
He was known for his pace and tricky dribbling down the wing for Liverpool and Bolton, so it’s no wonder he had a fast sports car.
Hadji-Diouf bought his SLR McLaren back in 2009 and immediately got it wrapped in silver chrome, like you do.
However, he reportedly had the supercar repossessed after he failed to keep up with the payments.
Samuel Eto’o, Maybach 57 Xenatec Coupe – £600k
The former Barcelona forward can spot a rare find when he needs to.
The Cameroonian legend splashed £600k on this comfy limousine back in 2007, when it was thought only 200 Xenatec Maybach 57 cars were being made.
But when the company went into liquidation, only 8 were ever completed.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Porsche 918 Spyder – around £650k
Of course, Ibrahimovic has one of the best motors in the world.
The Porsche 918 Spyder was sold in 2014, selling out completely a year later to car enthusiasts all over the world.
It was the second plug-in hybrid car Porsche ever produced.
Samuel Eto’o, Aston Martin One-77 – £1.25m
The second car on the list owned by Eto’o who retired in 2019.
It’s another luxurious motor, this time a two-door, two seater flagship sports car that Aston Martin showed first in 2008.
Production was limited to just 77 cars, and one of those cars was reportedly written off in 2012 leaving just 76 in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Bugatti Veyron – £1.7m
They were once teammates, so they must’ve swapped car tips at the Real Madrid training ground.
Ronaldo and Benzema are fans of French car manufacturer’s Bugatti, more on that later.
They both own the fantastic Veyron, which can reach a top speed of 254 mph.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, LaFerrari – £2m
After scoring a brace against Fulham back in 2018, Arsenal star Aubameyang showed off his new car – Ferrari’s incredible LaFerrari.
It’s the definitive Ferrari, as the name suggests, and it’s worth an incredible £2m. Of course, Ronaldo has one too.
Running off an electric motor, it’s capable of reaching an incredible 217 mph.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Bugatti Chiron – £2.5m
With a wealth reported to be a whopping £350m, it’s no surprise Ronaldo owns the most expensive car on this list.
But he shares top spot alongside Benzema, who’s showed his passion for the Bugatti label once again. The Chiron is the fastest, most powerful, and exclusive production super sports car EVER.
According to the manufacturer, it can reach 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and has a top speed of 261 mph.
No wonder whenever Benzema and Ronaldo get the opportunity, they’re showing off their Chirons on social media.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Bugatti Centodieci – £8.5m
Last year, it was reported that Ronaldo upped his Bugatti game with a very limited edition Centodieci worth a staggering £8.5million, according to German publication Bild.
This new model is believed to be a tribute to the legendary Bugatti EB110 – Centodieci is Italian for 110.
The Centodieci boasts an 8 litre W16 engine, with special models having 1600hp – some 100hp more than the Chiron and, overall, three times the price of that model.
It can do 0-62mph in just 2.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 236mph.
Bild contacted Bugatti directly and they did not deny that Ronaldo was a buyer, while offering no official comment on the rumour.
