Mike Tyson collects pigeons: What do Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and others have?

Elite athletes tend to be eccentric, either with their tastes for food or collections. In that sense, Mike Tyson adores pigeons and even said on more than one occasion that they were his great "ground wire" in his childhood. Now, what do the various elite footballers collect?

Iron Mike was able to confess that as a child he suffered bullying and that pigeon breeding helped him to cope: he had the cages on the roof of the building that he lived in New York. “I don't understand why people want to get rid of pigeons. They don't bother anyone ”is one of his famous phrases on the subject. After bankruptcy he had had to part with his pets, but as he recovered his estate, he returned to his hobby. In the preview of the fight against Roy Jones, for instance, he posted a video on his Instagram account in which he was seen feeding his birds, along with the legend "the calm before the storm".

Neymar bought a fully customized 13 million euro helicopter and surprised the world by using it to appear in the concentration of the Brazilian team, on more than one occasion. Neymar also has a private plane, an Embraer Legacy 450 valued at 12.2 million, in addition to an important collection of cars.

In fact, four-wheelers are among the items that athletes spend the most money on and many footballers are known for their fondness for collecting expensive cars. Cristiano Ronaldo has a luxury garage valued at several million euros that includes a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport of 3 'kilo's or a Ferrari LaFerrari of more than 1.5. In addition to a McLaren MP4-12C, a Ferrari 599 GTO, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Rolls-Royce Ghost, a Mercedes S65 AMG Coupé, a Porsche 911 Turbo or a Maserati Gran Cabrio.
