Luiz Nazario da Lima, most known as Ronaldo, was possibly the best football player ever in Brazil after Pelé and Garrincha. The brilliant striker had an amazing career in Europe playing for PSV, Internazionale and Real Madrid, until retiring playing for Corinthians in 2011. Nowadays he is back living in Spain. And his garage has always been well populated.

The most expensive car he’s reported to ever have possessed is a $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador. The Italian brand is one of the most powerful ones apart from Ferrari, and a very well-liked by footballers. Yes, he’s also owned a model from the Prancing Horse: a 458 Italia, which costs around $240,000.

One of the most modern cars he’s allegedly had is a Mercedes-AMG GT R, valued in $150,000. Some less (sort of) but very luxury models he has driven are the Audi A8 or the Audi Q7 SUV. Ferrari also gave him very good moments in his spell in Italy: he’s had a Ferrari 355 in 1998, later swapped for a 360 Modena, which was later sold on internet.

Nowadays, Ronaldo is back in Spain, working actively in Real Valladolid CF. The club’s 51% was acquired by him in September 2018, later grabbing 82% of it. The team is now relying in the bottom of the table in Spanish La Liga, narrowly missing relegation. There, Ronaldo bought his latest jewel: a BMW M6, also signing a sponsorship contract for the club.
