Cristiano Ronaldo has shared that he no longer keeps track of the number of cars he owns, and he rarely drives them anymore. The billionaire footballer has always had a passion for fast cars, especially during his early days at Manchester United, where he often showcased some of his prized possessions online.
We take a closer look at some of the cars that the richest footballer in the world has acquired and how much they have cost him. Ronaldo recently opened up about some of the luxurious properties and vehicles he owns.
Ronaldo was recently recognized as the first football billionaire after accumulating significant wealth over the years through his career. He is currently the highest-paid player globally due to his lucrative contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
So, what does he spend his money on? In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner revealed that the most expensive thing he has ever purchased was his private jet, which he bought to avoid the hassle of going to the airport.
On the topic of cars, Ronaldo admitted that he has lost count of the number of vehicles he has bought over the years, estimating it to be over 40. “I buy a car, it’s for collection. I’m not going to drive that car. I don’t count the cars. If we had to bet, I’d say, I don’t know, 41 or 42. I don’t know. I never drive. I just look at them to see if they’re clean, they’re good. And they go to the garage,” he said.
“I love the Bugattis; they are different beasts.”
Mail Sport has highlighted some of the cars that the former Manchester United star has owned.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Car Collection
After signing his first contract at Manchester United, Ronaldo was spotted driving a KSh 11.4 million Porsche Cayenne. While playing for Real Madrid, he used a couple of Audis, thanks to the sponsorship deal between the automobile company and the Spanish club.
At Juventus, Ronaldo is believed to have spent KSh 1 billion on a limited-edition Bugatti Centodieci. Only 10 of these cars were ever produced. Another expensive vehicle in his collection is a silver Bugatti Chiron, valued at around KSh 424.5 million. This supercar can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.
The 40-year-old also owns a black Bugatti Veron, which cost him approximately KSh 288.6 million. This quad-turbo engine can reach a top speed of around 400 km/h.
Ronaldo also has a Rolls-Royce Dawn model, which he received as a gift from his partner, now fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez. The two-toned white and silver vehicle is worth KSh 42.4 million. He also owns other Rolls-Royce models, including the Cullinan and the Phantom Drophead coupe, which together cost him KSh 135.8 million.

Ronaldo Slams Man United Again
In another story, Ronaldo has criticized Manchester United, blaming their structure for the team’s recent struggles. He has stated that while Ruben Amorim is doing the best he can, he won’t be able to perform miracles.
