Luxury, Legacy, And Fast Lanes
Off the field, track, or arena, athletes are known to cruise in some of the most luxurious cars around. A few keep it practical, but others splurge, filling garages with rare supercars and luxury rides most people would never even get the chance to look at. Join us as we explore 20 sports stars who don’t play around when it comes to their car collections. Ready to see which stars have basically built their own car museums? Let's dive in!
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
Among Ronaldo's automotive treasures sits the crown jewel: his Bugatti Centodieci, one of only ten worldwide, which commands $9 million. His bespoke universe continues with a one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV featuring custom black-and-white leather and a CR7-branded Bugatti Chiron with red accents.

2. Lionel Messi
Through his Audi partnership, Messi welcomed the powerful RS6 Avant into his collection, but his automotive passions extend far beyond sponsored acquisitions. The soccer icon's deliberate pursuit of automotive excellence led him to acquire both the rare Pagani Zonda Tricolore and the refined Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.

3. Zlatan Ibrahimović
Zlatan shows his Swedish roots with a Volvo XC60, but he also embraces Italian flair with a Ferrari Monza SP2 and a self-gifted SF90 Stradale. His lineup expands further with the German-engineered precision of a Porsche 911 Targa 4S.

4. Neymar Jr.
Each vehicle in Neymar Jr.'s thoughtfully curated collection serves a distinct purpose: the Volkswagen Touareg handles daily duties, and the Audi R8 Spyder makes the perfect statement piece. At the collection's pinnacle sits his Ferrari 458 Italia, delivering the raw performance befitting football's elite.
5. Karim Benzema
For Benzema, factory-perfect supercars serve as mere starting points for automotive artistry, with custom wraps and finishes personalizing ownership. His canvas collection spans from the ultra-exclusive Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang to the commanding Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the stately Rolls-Royce Wraith.
6. Lewis Hamilton
Hamilton's initial acquisition of the custom Pagani Zonda 760 LH and Ferrari LaFerrari sparked a realization about automotive impact, propelling him toward sustainable mobility with the Mercedes-Benz EQC. This evolving consciousness ultimately led to his most decisive environmental statement: divesting his private jet.
7. Sebastian Vettel
Sebastian Vettel balanced prestige with purpose by auctioning cars from his collection for charity. Behind that gesture stood an enviable lineup, including a Ferrari F40, BMW Z8, several vintage Ferraris, and the ultra-exclusive LaFerrari—a mix of passion and philanthropy.
8. Jenson Button
Jenson Button’s collection reflects different sides of his personality. A McLaren P1 highlights his push for innovation, while a Porsche 911 reveals classic taste. His Ferrari 512 BB and Ford GT show competitive drive, balanced by a VW Camper Van’s adventurous charm.

9. Michael Jordan
Every car in Michael Jordan’s garage feels like a snapshot of his career. A Porsche 911 marked his first leap into luxury. A Ferrari 512 TR captured his hunger for excellence. His Chevrolet Corvette C4 and custom ZR1 proudly honored American muscle dominance.

10. LeBron James
LeBron’s garage mirrors his game—versatile, precise, and powerful. Standing tall in the lineup is a Rolls-Royce Phantom, matched by the fierce Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. A Porsche 911 Turbo S adds precision engineering, and the Kia K900 rounds out his versatile side.
11. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Rows of Phantoms and Ghosts announce Floyd Mayweather’s taste, while a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport dials up performance. The crown jewel, though, is the ultra-rare Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita—one of just two ever made. That’s Mayweather flaunting exclusivity with style.
12. Shaquille O’Neal
Shaq’s size demanded creativity to the point his Rolls-Royce Phantom was modified to fit his 7-foot frame. Power came from a Challenger Hellcat, and personality showed in Superman logos on custom builds. His most outrageous move? Snapping up three Rolls-Royces in a single day.

13. Conor McGregor
The McLaren 650S Spider came first, marking Conor McGregor’s early success. Rolls-Royce followed—both a Ghost and a custom Wraith signaling bigger victories. And his peak prize is a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, which roars like the fighter’s own larger-than-life persona.

14. Mike Tyson
The Ferrari 456 GT Spyder, once built for the Sultan of Brunei, eventually found its way into Tyson’s garage as a crown jewel. But Iron Mike’s tastes ranged wide—beginning with a Cadillac Eldorado and later stretching into Rolls-Royce refinement and Lamborghini ferocity.
15. Usain Bolt
Nissan handed Bolt a custom gold GT-R to celebrate his Olympic triumphs, blending flash with speed. But it wasn’t his only statement piece. A Ferrari F430 Spider, pure horsepower on four wheels, echoed the explosive power that carried him down the track.

16. Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell doesn’t just drive cars; he turns them into fashion statements. His orange Rolls-Royce features initials on the hood, and the bold wraps make every ride stand out. The Cullinan and a Mercedes-AMG GT prove performance can still shine beneath all that color.
17. David Beckham
A Jaguar F-Type injects sportiness into David Beckham’s carefully assembled garage, while a Bentley Mulsanne projects elegance. The real showstopper has to be the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Beckham’s collection feels more like a curated collection than a simple accumulation of possessions.

18. Allen Iverson
Few cars matched Iverson’s Maybach 57S, its custom black finish and oversized Savini wheels screaming presence. But his garage held more—Bentleys, Aventadors, and Phantoms. Not every story sparkled, though, as his impounded Escalade and forced sales revealed turbulence beneath the shine.
19. Samuel Eto’o
A Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG marked the start of Samuel Eto’o’s Anzhi stint, and an AMG S63 followed him to Chelsea. The rare Maybach Xenatec Coupe—just eight exist—highlights his taste for exclusivity, while a Bugatti Veyron and Rolls-Royce Wraith round out the collection.
20. Canelo Álvarez
Canelo’s love for Lamborghinis borders on obsession because he owns nearly every Aventador variant from LP700-4 to SVJ. Yet the Ferrari Testarossa, which he rarely drives, carries childhood nostalgia. Add a Bugatti Chiron, McLaren P1, Rolls-Royce Ghost, and even a Tesla Model X, and the collection balances fantasy with function.
