10 of the Most Wildly Expensive Athlete Cars

Star athletes tend to have many millions in disposable income. They often use that money to purchase flashy cars.

For some, these vehicles are incredibly expensive.

LeBron James, Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo are just three examples of world-famous athletes who have flexed their financial muscle on the road. They've all built up a spectacular collection of vehicles.

Here, we've assembled some of the most expensive athlete cars.

Due to the challenges of proving ownership, not all rumors are included. For example, big-name athletes such as Lionel Messi, Tom Brady and Aaron Judge are connected with million-dollar machines, but the reports are unconfirmed.

As a result, the list—carefully researched but potentially volatile—isn't comprehensive. Nevertheless, it sure is impressive.

It's only fitting that a world-famous wheelman has a spectacular car, right?

Fernando Alonso, a two-time Formula 1 champion and Aston Martin driver, recently purchased a "unicorn" Pagani Zonda Diamante Verde. He was spotted with the gorgeous V12 in Monaco.

While the price is unconfirmed, Carscoops noted that one-off Zonda 760 series models are trading for more than $10 million.

Among the athletes with these wildly expensive cars, there are many superstars from the soccer—yes, fútbol—world.

Karim Benzema, who rose to prominence as a striker for Real Madrid, is the first such example. A few years ago, he went through his garage and showed off a dazzling Bugatti Chiron in addition to several other pricey vehicles.

Most reports place the value of the Chiron hypercar north of $3 million.

Along his ascent from RB Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City, Erling Haaland has accumulated a sparkling fleet.

Your favorite may be a Ferrari Monza SP2 or Ferrari 812 Superfast. You might prefer his Mercedes-AMG One or even appreciate his Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The list in Haaling's possession is as extraordinary as it is extensive.

But the spotlight is gleaming on the Bugatti Tourbillon, a $5 million hypercar that he reportedly bought with Norwegian billionaire Ole Ertvaag.

The second Formula 1 icon in the fold, Lewis Hamilton's priciest ride, is a proper match for his professional ties.

Hamilton, a driver for Ferrari, showed up to Monza in a coveted F40.

The story behind his purchase is spectacular as well.

In an Instagram post , Hamilton said the F40 sat in a garage for 30 years. "Master engineers and mechanics at the factory worked for weeks to bring her back to life," he said.

According to ESPN's Laurence Edmondson , the supercar has surpassed $8 million at auction at its highest value.

Among the best scorers of his generation, former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is known for an uncommon level of self-confidence.

"I am like a Ferrari among Fiats," he said in 2019 .

On its own, that quote is fantastic. It's even better knowing he purchased a Ferrari Monza SP2—worth approximately $2 million—around that time.

Also, for several years, Ibrahimovic has posted an image of an expensive car with the caption "Happy Birthday to Zlatan." In 2025 , that was a Ferrari F80 valued at $4.4 million. That'd be a heck of a birthday present.

The greatest player of his generation—at the very least—LeBron James has enjoyed a well-traveled career with four different NBA franchises.

When he's on the road, The King is moving in style, too.

LeBron's fascination with vehicles can be attributed to his childhood. "I was always inspired to have great cars and drive great cars," he told Vanity Fair . "That's just the little-inner-city-kid aspiration."

In a garage boasting Ferraris, a Lamborghini and more, James' reported prize is a Porsche 918 Spyder. The estimated value is north of $1.4 million.

In perhaps the most natural NBA transition possible, we shift from LeBron James to none other than Michael Jordan.

Back in 2024, Automobili Pininfarina shared a picture of the basketball legend taking delivery of a one-off Battista Targamerica. It's a specially built open-top variant that includes a cigar holder and humidor.

Due to the hypercar's customization—plus its ownership connection—its value is dynamic. It's likely above the typical $2-plus million for a Battista.

Jordan, who co-owns a NASCAR team, clearly has a love for the road.

Behind many years of stardom at European giants Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar is a world-famous playmaker on the pitch.

And the Brazilian's car collection isn't so bad, either.

Neymar added a $1.25 million Ferrari Purosangue SUV to his garage in 2025. That may be the jewel, although there are unconfirmed reports of a rare Lamborghini Veneno—one with an estimated value of $4.5 million.

Oh, and he has a replica Batmobile . Pretty sweet.

The options at Cristiano Ronaldo's disposal are nothing short of incredible.

Ronaldo, one of the greatest scorers in fútbol history, has used a portion of his immense wealth to amass a deep collection of vehicles. He showed off that impressive garage in an Instagram post .

Among the many high-dollar cars, the headliner is a white Bugatti Centodieci—an incredibly rare build that carries a $10 million price tag.

The total value of Ronaldo's fleet must be astounding.

Shortly before Max Verstappen ripped off four straight F1 titles, he had a chance to test the Aston Martin Valkyrie while in the prototype stage.

"It was a lot of fun out there," he said .

That's surely a vast understatement of the Valkyrie, which Verstappen now owns. He was seen driving the $3.5 million machine in a 2023 video.

Given his status as one of the most accomplished F1 drivers ever, Verstappen is quite literally the perfect person for such a stunning hypercar.
