With supreme control, effortless acceleration and an iconic image, it’s no wonder Lionel Messi has a penchant for sports cars.
In fact, according to research undertaken by ManySpins.com, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner boasts the most expensive car collection of any of the world’s highest paid athletes. And what a collection it is, too.
Messi’s vast collection is said to consist of 13 vehicles, worth a combined value in excess of £28million – over £10m more than a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. By contrast, the Portuguese superstar’s assortment totals an overall value of just over £18m – despite the fact he is thought to possess six more cars.
The most expensive car in Messi’s insаne garage collection is the Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti.
Messi picked up this vintage Ferrari at an auction for a staggering $34,876,800 (£28million).
According to reports, the football star purchased the beast, which has a 4.0L V12 engine and a top speed of 300 km/h, at an auction.
Sharing the news on Instagram, the Argentina skipper posted a picture of himself holding a tiny miniature version of the car.
