Real Madrid’s superstar soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys an annual salary of $35 million, making him one of the highest paid athletes in the world. That contract works out to $672,418 per week, so Ronaldo can flit around snapping up supercars like the rest of us buy snacks at the supermarket. He’s a gearhead and his stable of 19 cars reflects that. Tour Ronaldo’s garages and you’ll find a Bentley Continental GTC, a Bentley GT Speed, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, a Ferrari 599 GTO, a Ferrari F430, a Porsche 911 Carrera 2S, an Audi R8, an Audi RS6, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a Bugatti Veyron. Dude’s spent close to $5 million on wheels and all of them are great, save a Maserati GranCabrio. The soccer phenom’s latest purchase? A comely matte black Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4.
A naturally-aspirated V-12 all-wheel-drive stunner that generates 690 horsepower and 508 lb-ft of torque is a great addition to the herd. Could Ronaldo have opted for the LP 750-4 SuperVeloce Aventador, with that extra 50 horsepower? Sure, but no one’s going to call him out for that. What they will mock Ronaldo for is his inhuman posture while posing with his new bull. When the Portuguese forward uploaded this snap to Instagram earlier this week, his awkward stance got more attention than the car.
There’s a fine line between looking cool and looking like you’re the forgotten member of N’SYNC and unfortunately for Ronaldo, he falls into the latter category here. It didn’t take long for the lovely denizens of the Internet to rally, showcase their best Photoshop skills and roast the hell out of Ronaldo. Enjoy.
nishawai ona ronaldo live live…he was 5m away from me…kidogo kidogo naenda kutoa camera ati nipege ka selfie wueh!! some ninjas in black suits waliniskuma nauko kama chokosh
It is not the amount you make rather than financial discipline that matter in the long run. He is training himself a lavish lifestyle and he won’t be a star forever
He contributes a lot to charity. Mtu naona atasota mapema ni ile jinga Mayweather, but CR7 is very savvy and will still be popular even after retirement.
Mayweather is all show. It’s just a way to market himself. All those bugattis are rented for Cameos. He is rather smart dude. If all he did was throw punches, he wouldn’t make as much money per fight from sales. Smart he is even if I doubt he knows how to read and write.
The driver seat is close to the ground. Your eye level is on the road level unlike a normal car where you look down on to the road. It’s a 2-seater. So there is a lot of room inside. All sports cars eg Porsche , are designed to be close to the ground to greatly enhance stability.
Reason he made that much was the hype he has built over the years. It was a lot more than if it was a regular boxer with 47-0 fighting would have made. He made a tonne of money yes. But the truth is we will never know how much he made. More show than anything. Mike Tyson claimed he made 3o million a fight. Years later court documents show he made 5 million a fight. It’s Mayweather after all if you understand his marketing.
