Lewis Hamilton — Pagani Zonda 760 LH
Six-time Formula World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who is frequently ranked as one of the most successful Formula One drivers of all time, is reportedly worth an estimated $285 million. So of course, you just know his garage is filled with awesome cars. And among those cars is a really sick—a really absolutely sick!—Pagani Zonda 760 LH. How much is a car like that, you ask? Well, only around $2.6 million, which is chump change for Hamilton. Indeed, a chunk of Hamilton’s investment portfolio consisted of cars—amazing cars—and they are said to be more diverse and expensive than either the real estate or jewelry he has.
Manny Machado — Bentley Continental GT
Dominican-American baseball player for the San Diego Padres, Manny Machado, who is, to his credit, recognized as one of the best fielders of the MLB today, is often seen driving a very beastly Bentley Continental GT. A car like this would retail for around $220,000, which is insane for us plebeians but totally normal for MLB superstars like Machado. In any case, Machado’s car collection is reportedly worth $500,000, which already makes this Bentley Continental GT half his garage’s total worth. Well, since the man is only 28 years old and is an excellent baseball player, we’re sure his garage will be filling up with more than a few expensive cars in the future.
Peyton Manning — Toyota Sequoia
Peyton Manning, a retired NFL quarterback who’s considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time as well as has a net worth of around $250 million, drives around in a surprisingly modest Toyota Sequoia. Sure, he can buy Rolls Royces and Ferraris, but he didn’t. In fact, despite that Manning knows he’ll never be experiencing bankruptcy ever, prefers cars that are neither excessive nor over the top. In fact, the most expensive car that he has that people know about is a Cadillac Escalade, which isn’t cheap but is nowhere near the cars of many superstars on this list.
Roger Federer — Mercedes Benz
It will be hard to keep track of what type of Mercedes Benz tennis superstar Roger Federer will be driving at any given time since he swaps it out every six months. I guess that is among the perks of being an international sports superstar who is paid to endorse Mercedes Benz. So, for Federer, it can be an AMG tomorrow, an S-Class next week, and a G-Class the week after—it will, to a huge degree, all depend on his mood. Of course, the man is worth $450 million and is considered to be one of the best tennis players in history, so he’s likely to get anything he wants when he wants it.
Rafael Nadal — Kia Stinger GT
Rafael Nadal, who will be on anyone’s shortlists of Best Tennis Players in History, is worth so much money that he can afford any car he likes. But we suppose that part of his agreement with Kia—he endorses the brand, after all—requires him to ride a Kia Stinger GT. It is definitely not a cheap car, but for someone like Nadal who can buy the most expensive cars in the world, a Kia would be a bit, how shall we say, incongruous. In any case, the car, to Kia’s credit, does look good. And it can do naught to sixty under 5 seconds.
Martina Hingis — Mercedes Slk
Multiple Tennis Grand Slam Champion Martina Hingis has already retired from the sport. But she’s definitely been able to amass a galactic amount of wealth during her time that luxury cars will simply be par for the course for someone like her. Indeed, Hingis reportedly loves top-down Mercedes Benzes, can often be seen driving a few and is said to own a Mercedes SLK, among the many top-down Benzes that she owns. An SLK is, to a huge degree, far from being the most expensive car in the world, and we’d say it’s somewhat mid-tier when it comes to luxury vehicles, but it’s still something us plebeians will never be seen in.
Venus Williams — Mercedes G-Class
Venus Williams is a fantastic tennis player in her own right. True, she’s somewhat been overshadowed by her over-performing, unbelievably talented, and once-in-a-million-years-kind-of-athlete sister Serena Williams, but Venus had her time to shine in the sport of Tennis, too. Of course, she’s amassed a huge amount of wealth like her sister has and has an investment portfolio that included ownership in various sports teams, so it’s totally unsurprising that the woman drives around in a pimped-out Mercedes G-Class that gets its share of gawkers on the street.
Gianluigi Buffon — Jeep Grand Cherokee
Gianluigi Buffon, an Italian professional football player who is widely regarded to be one of the best goalkeepers of all time, is another Peyton Manning who opts for cheap vehicles rather than expensive ones. The man is estimated to be worth $25 million, but it might surprise you to know that he’s very—very—frugal. Indeed, he drives around in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is a car that’s expensive by our standards but will be monumentally cheap for the standards of someone like Buffon. Sports superstars like Buffon who don’t expend their investment money on flashy cars are definitely rare, but they do exist.
Neymar Da Silva Santos Júnior — Ferrari 458 Spider
Neymar Da Silva Santos Junior—popularly referred to as just “Neymar”—is another professional football player who is widely considered to be one of the best in the world. His garage is filled with the most expensive cars, we are told, including a Ferrari 458 Spider, a Tuned Ferrari F12berlinetta, a Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster, and more. But I guess it’s all par for the course for someone who is worth $185 million. Not only that, but Neymar also has an investment portfolio that included planes and helicopters. Let that sink in.
P.k. Subban — Bugatti Veyron
Ice Hockey defenceman for the New Jersey Devils P.K. Subban has a really enviable life. He was only 24 years old when he signed a $72-million contract with the Canadiens, and now, at only 31 years of age, is already worth north of $35 million. So you just know that he’s got an insane garage, right? And you’d be absolutely right to think that, because the man has a cherry red Bugatti Veyron that’s worth more than $2 million. Not only that, but his vehicular investment portfolio also includes a Rolls Royce Wraith, a Lamborghini Aventador, and a Ford Shelby Mustang.
