Barcelona forward Lionel Messi became the owner of the most expensive Ferrari in the world. The footballer himself made him so valuable. At the auction for the 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, the Argentinean paid off € 32 million, surpassing the previous record by € 3 million at once. The Spanish AS reports that the main competitor in the auction for the rare car was the striker of Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo.
Unlike its main rival on the football field, Messi's fleet is not that big. Ronaldo has over 20 cars in his garage, some of which are very rare, but Lionel is not like that. There are 10 cars in his garage, and none of them are rare.
Ronaldo car fleet
It is interesting that if Messi decides to sell his "new" Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, then with the proceeds he will be able to buy three Ronaldo fleets at once! Previously, the Argentine has never bought a car more expensive than $ 400,000, but here is such a purchase. What kind of cars does Messi already have in his garage?
"Charged" five-liter Lexus appeared at Messi quite a long time ago. The light sedan produces 423 horsepower. When the forward bought this car, its price started at $ 75,000. Sheer trifles for Leo.
A base Ferrari like this would cost $ 190,000, but Messi added a couple of features. One of the options was painting with a special rare gray, which increased the cost to a quarter of a million. Acceleration to "hundreds" of this beauty is only four seconds, and the maximum speed is 315 km / h, which is 15 km / h more than the new purchase of Lionel. Half a century has passed, and the speeds have not increased much.
Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale
At the time of purchase, this car bore the big name "Fastest Maserati". Under the hood is a 4.7-liter V-8 engine that produces 450 horsepower. Recently, Messi gave the car to his close friend, allegedly his wife is afraid that Leo will drive and crash. Interestingly, during the four years that Messi rode on it, his wife was not afraid for her beloved husband? In Russia, such a car in 2011 could be bought at a price of $ 305,000, in Europe it is almost half the price.
The classic "American" is bright red. Big motor, lots of horsepower (470), attractive price ($ 80,000). True, when you start to imagine how a short Messi is riding in this huge car, then a smile appears by itself.

Another representative of "Audi" in Messi's garage, he has three of them. Do not be surprised, the German concern has long been a sponsor of Barcelona. The R8, or, as it is called, the "Lamborghini for the poor," has 550 hp under the hood and can accelerate to 100 km / h in less than four seconds for about $ 200,000.
Modified version of Audi R8 with GT prefix. The maximum speed remains the same, but the dynamics of acceleration is striking - 3.6 seconds to "hundreds". The charged supercar was the most expensive car in Lionel Messi's garage at $ 400,000.
One of the first cars in Messi's garage. The Barcelona striker liked the little classic English car for its practicality. Despite its modest size, the Mini accelerates to 220 km / h. On the crowded roads of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bits size and maneuverability make it less likely to get stuck in traffic jams, and an open roof will give you a tan and save you from the heat.
The most interesting car in the garage of Lionel Messi. The Argentine did not buy it, but received it as a gift from Toyota. The cost of this car is $ 20,000. The Prius is an electric car that is not the best design and is often the object of ridicule. Just imagine how they would look together under the same roof - a gray Prius, which Messi probably never even started, and a bright red Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti. Instead of one such Ferrari, Leo could buy himself 1,800 Prius.
Lionel's newest car. The footballer uses it most often in everyday life. This is not surprising, because the latest generation of Vogue is spoken of as one of the most comfortable cars in history. You can lie back in the back seat, or you can sit behind the wheel and "light up" on the track.
It is a long-known fact that world-famous footballers earn millions of dollars every year. Most of the players not only, but also engage in various investments in order not to lose their savings. Someone invests in precious metals, in real estate or in various companies, buying up shares. But there are footballers who invest their money.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Mesut Ozil have more than one luxury car in their fleet. Some of them collect a certain collection of cars, someone expects that some cars will become more expensive over time. Everyone has their own goals and objectives.
As a rule, football stars buy very expensive cars in order to not only enjoy driving an expensive car, but also to emphasize their status and style. But some stars buy cars for other purposes as well.
Surely one of our readers will say that why spend a lot of money to buy cars like the Bugatti Veyron - for 1.7 million US dollars? But what do you think, with a salary of $ 20,000,000, a player can afford to make such expensive purchases. With this income, we think it makes sense to buy a few luxury cars.
It is worth noting that some football team players often get new expensive cars for free. Similar generous gifts come from team sponsors. Automotive brands often become sponsors. Which footballer do you think has the most expensive cars? Who is the world champion in the number of cars in his garage? We tried to answer this, although we believe that it is better to find out which football player is in the football arenas in Brazil.
Mesut Ozil, star of the Arsenal club
The footballer has a reserved and reserved character, which cannot be said about his choice of cars. When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, Ozil does not hold back.
For example, a player bought an unstoppable Ferrari 458 Italia.
Here Mesut leaves an autograph on. But this is not his car. According to some reports, Ozil also has this Mercedes model in his fleet, but only in black.
Young star Mario Goetze, football player of Bayern Munich
The young player recently made his debut in a team that surprised many football experts with his outstanding performance. Player's salary 37,000,000 Euro per year.
Of course, he will now be able to afford to own, worth 180,000 Euros (in Europe).
Kevin-Prince Boateng, Ghana and Schalke forward
Compared to other players, his one car looks more than modest ...
Striker Samuel Eto "O from Cameroon
He carefully tries to protect himself from the cameras of the paparazzi, in order to hide his car fleet.
But, unfortunately or fortunately, there is nothing secret about this. Here is his Aston Martin One-77.
Mario Balotelli
Traditionally, this footballer is always in the center of scandals and various football events.
For example, recently a football player crashed his own, having got into an accident through his own fault, which was completely destroyed.
Fortunately, there is also a 2011 Maserati Gran Turismo in his garage, in which he was caught speeding (280 km / h). In addition to Balotelli, he received a fine for the fact that the car was not registered in accordance with the law.
Another football player's car

The Bentley Continental GT shares a lot with the soccer player's tattoo ...
Didier Drogba, player of Cote d'Ivoire
Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari F430
SLR McLaren
Lionel Messi
Just like on the pitch, this footballer is adept at choosing cars.
The cost in Europe is 130,000 Euro.
Ferrari F430 Spider with special custom color. A car in a standard color costs 190,000 Euro (price in Europe).
But this is not enough for the most productive player in the world. Here's another car from his garage, a Dodge Charger SRT8 (it's red).
An article about the most expensive cars of world football stars, interesting facts. At the end of the article - an interesting video about cars, planes and salaries of Russian football "stars".
The content of the article:
Many people are jealous of world famous footballers. And not only because their earnings are in the millions of American dollars and they meet supermodels and stars of the first magnitude. Many people also envy them because world football players can afford the most expensive and coolest cars. Moreover, they buy these cars not only to get to work. The player's car is a vivid reflection of his lifestyle, style and taste. Therefore, football stars often drive completely unique and designer cars.
The most expensive cars of world football players
This rating will consider the most expensive and exclusive cars of famous football players. Some of them are avid car collectors and have a fleet of expensive cars at their disposal. With just one eye, we will look into the garage of the world's most popular football players. Cars in the TOP will be placed according to the increase in their prices.
This car drives Luis Nani - Portuguese footballer, former Manchester United player who now plays for Sporting. The body of the car is completely white. It should be noted that Valentino Balboni himself worked on the design of the car. Only 250 of these cars were produced. The machine is equipped with an innovative E-gear robotic gearbox. The motor delivers 550 hp. The car accelerates up to a hundred in 3.9 seconds, the maximum speed is 320 km / h. Such a car costs 162,000 euros.
I bought such a car for myself Didier Drogba (Chelsea FC scorer). This light sporty Mercedes is notable for sufficient power (660 "horses"). It can accelerate to a hundred in 3.8 seconds. The maximum travel speed is 320 km / h. Such a car costs 173,000 euros.
This car belongs to Wayne Rooney from Manchester United. It should be noted that Rooney is better at running with a ball than driving a car - he has had accidents and crashed cars more than once. However, he is not upset about this, because his earnings allow him to buy new expensive cars. The latest addition to which Wayne Rooney was spotted was the Aston Martin. Its capacity is 476 "horses". Up to a hundred cars can accelerate in 4.8 seconds, while the maximum speed is 306 km / h. The cost of this car is 175,000 euros. For Rooney, this is little money, so he can safely crash this car.
And again Aston, only with a different modification and a different owner. Former Liverpool footballer Jermaine Pennant also like english cars. He bought himself a 510 hp Aston Martin DBS. This car is capable of accelerating to hundreds in 4.3 seconds. In this case, the car can move at a maximum speed of 307 km / h. The footballer bought a car for 200 thousand euros.
This supercar is owned by Frank Lampard - football player for Chelsea and Manchester City. The car is equipped with a 570-horsepower engine, a hundred will appear on the speedometer in 3.4 seconds. The maximum speed is 325 km / h. For such a car, the midfielder had to pay 230,000 euros.
This vehicle is owned by Obafemi Martins Is a footballer from Nigeria who currently plays for the Seattle Sounders in the United States. It should be noted that this player is familiar to Russian fans as well, as he played for some time at Rubin Kazan. For Lamborghini Murcielago, the footballer paid 300 thousand euros, but he does not regret the money spent. After all, he got a really cool 640-horsepower car. A football player can accelerate to a hundred in 3.4 seconds in his car and drive at a speed of 340 km / h. True, in the urban cycle, this is unlikely to be done.
Which footballer do you think could own this car? Of course, David Beckham, which many consider the standard of male style. He impressed everyone with his aristocratic restraint. It should be noted that five years ago, David became the highest paid footballer on the planet. Therefore, he can please himself with expensive toys. And the Rolls Royce Phantom is a really expensive toy. The car costs 410 thousand euros.
At the same time, the characteristics of the machine cannot be called outrageous. In many respects, this car is inferior to those given above. The power of the car is 460 "horses". The maximum speed is 240 km / h. It will take 5.7 s to disperse to hundreds. However, this car shows the high status of its owner. It should be noted that the Beckham family owns a decent car fleet, and there are plenty of luxury cars in it.
Leeds United player opens the three most ardent car lovers among football stars El-Haji Diouf... Many fans have not heard of such a footballer, but he owns a Mercedes SLR McLaren supercar, which costs 495 thousand euros. The power of the car is 626 "horses", the maximum speed is 334 km / h, and it accelerates to hundreds in 3.7 seconds.
Cristiano Ronaldo- not only a great football player and idol of all women, but also a true connoisseur of expensive cars. Several years ago, he bought a Ferrari LaFerrari worth 2 million 350 thousand euros. He made such a gift to himself in honor of the extension of his contract with Real Madrid. Only 499 such cars were produced. This supercar has a capacity of 963 hp. and travels with a maximum speed of 350 km / h.
It should be noted that this is not the only car of the two-time winner of the Golden Ball. The fleet of the Portuguese football star has more than two dozen cars. And the footballer is not going to stop there. He often participates in auctions, trying to get hold of another unique car. Therefore, we will tell you a little more about Cristiano's vehicle fleet.
The Portuguese footballer has three Ferraris alone. In addition, in the garage of Cristiano there are a couple of Mercedes, BMW, Audi (since the "royal club" has entered into a partnership agreement with this concern), Aston Martin, Koenigsegg Lamborghini Aventador, Rolls Royse Phantom, Bugatti Veyron, Porshe, Maseratti and Bentley. Moreover, a football player has an interesting story connected with each car. Here is some of them:
- So, Cristiano in 2008 starred in an advertisement for the Bugatti Veyron. In the commercial, he competed in speed with his future car. According to rumors, this car cost the player three million euros.
- On his 27th birthday, Cristiano bought a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 for 390,000 euros. At first, he hid the fact of the purchase, but then the journalists saw the football player driving this beautiful supercar.
- The German auto giant presented all the players of Real Madrid with Audi cars, so Cristiano got the handsome Audi RS5. The price of such a car is very modest (by the standards of football stars) - 82,000 euros.
- Maserati GranCabrio appeared in a footballer after shooting in an advertisement. He liked the car so much that he immediately bought it (for 150,000 euros).
- Cristiano bought a chic white Aston Martin DB9 while playing for Manchester United. The car cost him 130,000 pounds (this was his weekly salary at the club).
Cristiano Ronaldo is a true connoisseur of good cars. But he has a serious competitor, which took the first place in our TOP.
This rare 1957 car was bought in February of this year at a closed auction for 32 million euros (you didn't think it was 32 million euros). Thus, this car became the most expensive car bought by a football player.
Who do you think became the owner? Who is considered the most talented and most successful footballer of our time? Of course, we are talking about Lionel Messi... This rating could not do without this legendary football player, who won the hearts of millions of football fans with his game and not only. In addition, Messi loves expensive exclusive cars and has an impressive fleet of vehicles.
The Ferrari acquired by Messi has a legendary history. On this car in 1958, Stirling Moss became the winner of the Formula 1 Cuban stage. Messi's spending is many times greater than the acquisitions of his colleagues. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's entire fleet is worth less than this Lionel car. But the best football player of our time has many unique cars in his garage. He loves collecting good cars. There are different cars in his fleet:
- Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale. This car is based on the Quattroporte, but it is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.7-liter engine with a capacity of 460 "horses". The coupe accelerates to a hundred in 4.5 seconds, and the top speed is 303 km / h. The basic model costs 130 thousand euros.
- Ferrari F430 Spider. Under the hood of this convertible is a 4.3-liter engine that can accelerate the coupe to a hundred in 4.4 seconds. The maximum speed of the car is 315 km / h, and the price is 190 thousand euros.
- Audi R8 GT. If Ronaldo was given an Audi, then Messi bought it for love. There are only 333 Audi R8 GTs in the world. The cost of the car is 187 thousand euros. For this money, the football player received a 522-horsepower engine, which can accelerate a car to a hundred in 3.5 seconds.
- Dodge Charger SRT8. The Argentine footballer also loves American cars. This is a powerful sedan equipped with a 707-horsepower engine. The car can accelerate to 326 km / h.
- MINI Cooper S. Among the powerful and expensive supercars in the football player's garage, there is also the modest MINI Cooper. This convertible costs only 32 thousand euros. Despite its small size, the convertible can accelerate to 225 km / h.
Football stars love cars and spend fabulous money on them. Apparently, the adrenaline they get on the lawn isn't enough for them, so they find an extra dose of excitement when they drive a posh car. It is worth noting that the players described above have achieved certain heights in football, and not just buy expensive cars to show off in front of their colleagues and acquaintances, while not representing anything. If a person works hard and succeeds, no one has the right to accuse him of buying expensive toys.
The 335 S Spider Scaglietti is Lionel Messi. The car was bought for € 32 million at an auction by an unknown buyer, but sources say that it was the Argentinean who became it.
If so, then this car will be the most expensive car ever purchased by a football player. Moreover, the difference with other auto stars is so great that Messi's spending exceeds the high-speed acquisitions of his colleagues dozens of times.
Why, even the plane recently bought by Ronaldo cost “only” € 19 million.
It remains to add that the Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti is famous not only for winning the Cuban Grand Prix in the Formula 1 championship. The car that went under the hammer also took part in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
For Messi, collecting cars is a hobby. The Argentine's car fleet has a Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale for $ 147,000, a Dodge Charger SRT8, a Ferrari F430 Spider and a rare Austin Mini from the mid-20th century. Not without the "standard" Audi Q7.
Cristiano Ronaldo
When it comes to Messi and expensive "toys", it is impossible to do without the eternal rival, already mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo from Madrid "a", especially, according to rumors, it was he who was the Argentine's competitor in the auction for the Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti.
At the disposal of the Portuguese star of Real Madrid, whose car park is no less solid, there are about twenty cars, and this collection is constantly replenished.
The Portuguese has three Ferraris alone, and the most expensive of them - at a price of $ 2.35 million - was the most expensive car in the football world before the rarity supposedly acquired by Messi.
In addition, there are several Mercedes in the garage of Cristiano, BMW, of course, could not do without Audi, with which, moreover, a partnership agreement was concluded at the "royal club" itself, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, Bugatti Veyron, Rolls Royse Phantom, Lamborghini Aventador, Porshe, Bentley and Maseratti - the list goes on and on.
However, the Portuguese car fleet itself still costs less than the purchase of Lionel Messi. Who knows, maybe, given the passion for competition, the Argentinian bought the car for such an amount to cover the cost of the plane purchased by a colleague?
El-Haji Diouf
Not best known as a footballer, although he once played for English Liverpool, Senegalese striker El Hadji Diouf has been in the top players with expensive cars for several years.
The exclusive Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren, purchased a couple of years ago by the athlete for almost € 550,000, remains one of the most expensive four-wheeled purchases of football stars.
Obafemi Martins and
Among the foreign football players who once played in the Russian Premier League, the most famous cars and Samuel Eto "O.
The Nigerian striker, noted in, now continuing his career in the MLS at Seattle Saunders, is the proud owner of a Lamborghini N50M for € 350 thousand, and the Cameroonian Samuel Eto "Oh, who got dusty in Anji Makhachkala during the luxurious life of the Dagestan club, owns Maybach Cruserio Coupe for € 670,000
Football players who have recently or long ago completed their careers also have many luxurious cars. Among others, perhaps, David Beckham stands out.
The midfielder, who has played for Real Madrid, Milan, PSG and Los Angeles Galaxy during his career, also has a solid car fleet, although he does not advertise this too much.
The most expensive of the "exposed" cars Bex is Rolls Royce Phantom for € 450 thousand. Modestly, but tastefully.
Among Russian footballers, the main “car enthusiast” is rightfully considered Alexander Kokorin, who is organically incapable of passing by an expensive new car, especially if it is in trend.
There are no less than four “Audi” in the collection of the newcomer from St. Petersburg, and there are also various “Mercedes” and “standard” Lamborghini Aventador.
But Kokorin's trademark identification mark has long been the Mercedes G65 AMG Mansory, in fact, and made the football player a household name. The price of this toy is over half a million euros.
The most unexpected and unusual representative of our rating is the 15-year-old goalkeeper of the St. Petersburg Zenit-84 Konstantin Pavlov, who, due to his age, does not yet have a driver's license.
The young talent became a newsmaker at the beginning of 2016, when on January 2 he arranged an accident in St. Petersburg with the participation of two more cars, when he was driving a recently acquired by him either for 10 or for 2 million rubles. Aston Martin DB9.
- The most important thing is that at that time Lamborghini was simply not on sale, I talked to him. If there was a Lamborghini, I would buy it, the car there is not new, it doesn’t cost 9 or 10 million, in fact, I bought the car for 2 million, ”said the general director of Zenit-84.
- Goalkeeper 1999, 15 years old man, he is a beginner. A man got into an accident. He bought a car for his own money, I talked to him. I bought a car, got behind the wheel and drove off. He had no right to do this, but why are they selling cars to us at that age? It turns out that from the moment you receive your passport, you can purchase at least the Ostankino TV tower.
Have you registered your car? Yes. He didn’t do anything like that, thank God, he didn’t run over anyone, there is an accident, and it’s doubtful. If he had rights on the spot, it remains to be seen who would be to blame. Since there are no rights, he is to blame. The most important thing is that he did not steal this money, did not steal this car, I officially declare. I went and bought it. I bought it because there are very few brains at this age, - the functionary added.
Pavlov himself does not see anything extraordinary in what has happened and notes that for him the car is perhaps too tough to drive because of the suspension. At the same time, Pavlov does not seem to be going to become a professional footballer in the future.
- There is no such craving for football, which was a couple of years ago. If I was invited to a team where there is a 100% opportunity to get into professional football, I would go.
In a peculiar way, he also answered the question of at what age it is worth issuing a driving license.
- From 16 - that's it. All my friends without a license at 16 drive better than those over 20.
