SUPERCARS are the ultimate status symbol.

So it’s no surprise that sports superstars love to spend their cash on the very best and latest boys’ toys.

Balotelli loves to show his flamboyant personality with his stunning motors.

During his time in England with Manchester City and Liverpool, he was regularly spotted parking his outlandish Bentley Continental GT in amazing camouflage – worth £160k.

Also in his collection we’ve seen a Lamborghini Gallardo worth £160k, a Maserati GranTuriso (£100k), an Audi R8 V10 (£105k), a Ferrari 458 Spider (£170k), a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (£240k) and a Range Rover Evoque (£40k).

Now playing his football in Turkey, he was recently spotted in a more modest Hyundai.

‘Super Mario’ also unloaded his camo Bentley to teammate Urby Emmanuel in 2013. Urby decided to pull off the wrap and return it to its original look. Spoilsport!

Estimated value: £1m

13. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Only the best will do for Zlatan Ibrahimovic who owns a Ferrari supercar

Zlatan loves Ferraris above all, and has a large collection. However he was also once sponsored by Volvo, so he is often seen driving the Swedish motor instead.

His collection includes a bright red Ferrari Enzo valued at £600k and an exclusive Porsche 918 Spyder worth £700k.

The ex-Manchester United striker also owns a Lamborghini Gallardo (£160k) and a Maserati GranTuriso (£100k).

Estimated value: £1.5m

12. Michael Jordan

The greatest basketball player of all time is worth over a billion dollars, and he hasn’t cut corners with his car collection either.

Jordan owns a Chevrolet C4 Corvette (£37k), a Ferrari 512 TR (£125k), a Porsche 911 (£100k), a Toyota Land Cruiser (£38k) and a Ferrari 599 GBT Fiorano (£300k).

Michael Jordan loves his classic Corvette.
However, over the years he has released Aston Martins, Mercedes and a Bentley from his multiple garages.

We’re sure he’s not feeling the affects of retirement with his substantial clothing and restaurant enterprises though.

Estimated value: £1.8m

11. Lewis Hamilton

Being a racing driver and earning millions per year, you’d think Lewis would be higher up the list.

However, perhaps being banned from driving in France in 2007 slowed him down off the circuit. Plus, he’s now become an eco-warrior and is happier with electric vehicles.

But he’s still got a very pretty set of motors that may need dusting off in his garage.

Lewis Hamilton also owns a Pagani Zonda.
Among his fleet are a Pagani Zonda (£1.5m), SLS Mercedes (£165k), Shelby GT500(£50K) and his favourite car is the 1967 472 Cobra worth around £75k. We add, he has two of those although he’s gone more eco friendly of late.

Estimated value: £2.315m

10. Shaquille O’Neill

Shaquille O’Neal isn’t too big to ride a Smart car.
LA Lakers legend Shaq has a fleet of cars that would be enough to open a luxury car taxi service.

A giant on the court, the 7-footer needs a big car, so it’s no surprise he opts for bigger, jeep-like vehicles.

He’s amassed a huge collection including a Lamborghini Gallardo (£105k), a Mercedes-Benz S Class (£70k), a Cadillac DTS (£35K) and a Jeep Wrangler (£32K).

There’s also a Ford Expedition (£40k), a Lincoln Continental (£35k), a Hummer H2 (£30k), a Cadillac Escalade (£63), as well as a 2001 Chevrolet G1500 van (£35k).

However, his most extravagant purchase was a 458 Italia which cost him around £250k.

He uses it as a everyday car too, alongside a Smart car!

Estimated value: £3.5m

9. David Beckham

England legend Becks has amassed a fortune of around £339 million, and his wheels are a fair reflection of his wealth.

Goldenballs’ list of motors are a reflection of his status, and he has a Rolls-Royce Phantom (£0k), a Rolls-Royce Ghost (£231,180), a Bentley Continental SuperSport (£275k), and an Audi R8 (£117k).

Over the years Becks also added a Bentley Mulsanne (£229,0), a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (£75k), a Range Rover Evoque (£78k) and a Hummer H2 (£30k).

Not content there, the former Man United star has an extensive motorbike collection.

Incidentally, Becks’ love for Porsche has also extended to collecting classic models like a Steve McQueen-inspired 911.

Estimated value: £3.7m

8. Justin Verlander

He’s one of Major League Baseball’s biggest stars, and he is married to stunner Kate Upton.

The New York Mets pitcher also has taste when it comes to cars, and he’s amassed an astonishing garage that puts him very high up our list.

Justin Verlander also owns a Audi R8 and Ferrari 488
The All-Star owns motors including, Maserati Gran Turismo (£91,690k), a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster (£288,840), a Ferrari 458 Italia (£250k), a Ferrari California (£154,314k), an Aston Martin DBS (£198k).

He also has a fondness for Mercedes Benz, owning 3 separate models of the famed German manufacturer.

Estimated value: £3.8m

7. LeBron James

The all-time leader in the NBA’s car collection is definitely one of the most valuable.

Not just earning in basketball, LeBron’s making a mint in Hollywood — so driving a nice set of wheels around LA during the off-season is imperative.

That’s why he rides a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Hummer H2, a Ferrari F430 Spider and a Maybach 57S.

However, his favourite baby is his custom-wrapped Nike floral print Lamborghini Aventador, which is worth a cool £500k. Chump change for some, but nothing for a man who earns a whopping £48m a year.

Estimated value: £4.5m

6. John Cena

Perhaps it’s not so surprising but wrestling superstar John Cena loves classic American muscle cars.

He has more than 25 which he keeps at in a huge garage at his mansion in Tampa, Florida.

Most of them are old classics like a 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger (£40k) and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (£150k).

He also boasts a yellow limited edition Ford Mustang (£50k) and a Corvette ZR1 valued at £100k which he had customised into the InCENArator.

Estimated value: £5m

Once upon a time, Eto’o was highest paid footballer in the world, earning around £18.5 million a year while at Anzhi in Russia in 2011.

That allowed the Cameroonian legend to splash his hard-earned roubles on fast cars,

The former Barcelona striker’s most valuable motors are a Bugatti Veyron (£1.75m), Aston Martin One-77 (£1.3m) and a rare Porsche Gambella Mirage (£1m).

He also owns a a Maybach Xenatec (£696k), an Aston Martin V12 Zagato (£396k), a Hummer H2 (£30k) and a Ferrari 599 Fiorano (£300k).

Estimated value: £5.5m

4. Jenson Button

Jenson Button steps out of his McLaren P1, which set him back over £1m.

Button is the highest placed Brit on the list. The former F1 driver has a reported personal wealth of more than £100m and has spent a sizeable chunk on vehicles.

His large and quirky collection has included supercars like a Bugatti Veyron (£1.1m), a McLaren P1 (£1.9m) and several Ferrari’s including an Enzo valued at £1m.

Jenson Button sold his Bugatti Veyron at an auction for £900k

But he also owns some less sexy rides including a Honda S600 (£30k),  an 1964 Ford Anglia (£20k) and even a 1956 VW Campervan (£40k).

He sold his Bugatti at an auction for £900k back in 2009, presumably to make room for more cars in his garage.

Estimated value: £6m

3. Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo likes a car with pace which is why he chooses Ferrari.
The five-time Balon d’Or winner lives a life of luxury on superstar wages at latest club Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, plus mega endorsement deals with fashion houses all over the world.

He needs a car collection fit for a king, and his garages around the world are certainly impressive.

Cristiano Ronaldo also owns a Bugatti Chiron worth £2.1m.
Flashy on the pitch, his cars off it are equally as showy.

Among his fleet is a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (£300k), a Ferrari F430 (£117k), a Ferrari 599 GTO (£335k) and a Lamborghini Aventador (£270k).

Add to that a Rolls-Royce Phantom (£0k) and a Bugatti Chiron (£2.1m), and that’s a wealth of motors right there.

The Juventus superstar reportedly splurged £8.5million on a limited edition Bugatti Centodieci – of which only 10 have been made.

Ronaldo is believed to be one of 10 people lucky enough to buy the incredible new Bugatti Centodieci, which costs £8.5m

The amazing new Bugatti will be delivered to customers next year.
This new model is believed to be a tribute to the legendary Bugatti EB110 – Centodieci is Italian for 110.

The Centodieci boasts an 8 litre W16 engine, with special models having 1600hp – some 100hp more than the Chiron and, overall, three times the price of that model.

It can do 0-62mph in just 2.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 2mph.

Estimated value: £16m

2. Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather has one of the biggest car collections in the world

Floyd ‘Money Man’ Mayweather boasts one of the largest supercar collections in the world.

The unbeaten boxer has so many, he keeps a collection of white cars in Miami, and a fleet of black-painted cars in Las Vegas.

But the motors in Mayweather’s LA garage are black.

Floyd Mayweather sits atop his £3.6 million Koenigsegg Trevita.

The most expensive in his garage was an exceedingly rare Koenigsegg Trevita.

He bought the car for £2.7m but had to sell it for £2m at a car auction in California to pay a tax bill.

However he still owns several Rolls-Royce’s, Ferarri’s and Bugatti’s.

Mayweather has a branded Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom would’ve cost £355,000.

In 2015 he tweeted an amazing photo of eight supercars worth £4.5m – including three Bugatti Veyrons each valued at more than £1million – plus his £1.5m private jet.

Estimated value: £20m

1. Reggie Jackson

Reggie Jackson is the sportsman with the biggest car collection in the world.

American baseball legend – who was nicknamed Mr October – boasted a huge collection of around 100 classic cars but a massive fire in 2013 destroyed 35 of them, worth £2m.

Jackson, 76, however still has a huge collection of American classics, mostly Chevrolets, around 50 or so, and regularly attends auctions to buy more.

Reggie Jackson’s car collection is estimated to be worth around £50m.

He has 25 at his home in Seaside, California, six at another home in Carmel, and 25 at a hangar at Monterey airport.

One car in his collection, a Ferrari 275 GTB/4, is said to be worth around £20m.

It makes him our number one on this list.

Estimated value: £50m
