1. Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon : Bugatti Veyron
Estimated price: N88,000,0000
Former Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o wins the number one spot to lead this expensive list of cars driven by African footballers. While Eto’o owns an expensive fleet of cars that is approximately worth around £4m, it is his Bugatti Veyron that stands out as the coolest and most expensive. For those who may not be aware, Bugatti Veyron holds the enviable position of the most expensive and fastest car in the world. And this man Samuel Eto’o is the only footballer of African descent who owns a Bugatti Veyron. He is a fan of good cars and is known to own a wide range of rides including a Maybach Xenatec worth around £750,000 and a Martin One-77 valued at £1.25m.
These African players are no doubt having it nice if indeed the cars they are driving is anything to go by. The choice of cars is definitely motivated by their love for good rides and why not. After all they can afford it because they have worked so hard and earned good money from their assignments in their respective clubs.
