There is no doubt that the lifestyle of an international footballer never ceases to amaze. Popular athletes not only win matches, but also earn a variety of lucrative brand deals and endorsements, easily becoming among the highest-paid athletes in the world. However, while some players choose to live extravagantly, others prefer simpler things in life.
Introducing top soccer players known for their luxurious lifestyles –
Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal
The Portuguese legend owns four mansions in Spain, England, and Portugal totaling around $22 million. He also has a collection of his 19 luxury cars, including his £8.5 million Bugatti and his Centodieci, one of only 10 in the world. Ronaldo owns two private planes. The Gulfstream G650, which has a street value of about $65.5 million, and the Gulfstream G200, which reportedly cost $25 million.
lionel messi, argentina
Although somewhat modest compared to Ronaldo, there is no doubt that Messi lives a rather expensive lifestyle. The player owns two luxury properties in Barcelona and Argentina, and recently added a $7.25 million luxury apartment in Miami's Porsche Design Tower to his list of homes.
How “luxurious” this apartment is, given the fact that it has three car elevators that allow residents to pull up and park their cars on the same floor as the suite. You can see.
Messi owns an impressive collection of some of the world's most luxurious cars, including a £1.5 million Pagani Zonda and a £100,000 Gran Turismo S.
neymar junior brazil
If his $7 million home in Brazil and $26 million five-story mansion in Paris are anything to go by, this athlete definitely has a taste for elegance. Neymar enjoys a luxury car collection including a Ferrari 459, his red Lobster, and a limited edition Maserati.
The athlete also loves to fly in style, owning two private jets worth $4 million and $7 million respectively, and a Mercedes-Benz helicopter worth $15 million.
On the other side of the coin, there are players who, despite being wealthy, choose to live a relatively simple life.
Sadio Mane, Senegal
This Senegalese footballer is known around the world for his generosity. Despite his huge success and income in recent years, Manet has little for himself and donates the majority of his income to multiple social welfare projects. He is particularly generous to his home village of Bambari, Senegal. Manet has helped build schools, hospitals, and other projects. A relatively little-known fact is that Manet donates $80 a month to everyone in a particularly poor neighborhood in his hometown. His philosophy is to share with people some of what life has given him.
Mohamed Salah, Egypt
Playing as a forward for a premium league club like Liverpool and captaining the Egyptian national team costs an astonishing amount of money. However, Salah, like teammate Sadio Mane, has chosen to make a difference by giving back to the community as much as he can.
In addition to helping build schools and hospitals without financial aid, Salah has donated a huge amount of his income by giving them a monthly allowance, helping more than 450 families escape poverty. He also donated about $300,000 to support Egypt's government when it fell into economic recession.
Marcus Rashford, England
The 24-year-old Manchester United forward is known for both his generous personality and brave attitude. Mr Rashford has long been a vocal campaigner against poverty and his donations during the coronavirus lockdown have helped provide free meals to four million disadvantaged children across England. It was helpful. His open letter to the government to end child poverty quickly yielded results, with policy changes allowing children access to free meals in secondary schools over the holidays.
N'Golo Kante, France
It is very difficult to imagine an international central midfielder who played in the Premier League and FIFA World Cup living a lifestyle like Kante. For a long time, Kang-tae showed up to practice in a Mini Cooper. If that's not shocking enough, this athlete has been known to get $10 haircuts while his teammates are spending thousands of dollars on expensive trims. Due to his humble nature, he once accepted a simple dinner invitation from a fan. Despite being a World Cup winner and one of the best midfielders the sport has to offer, N'Golo Kante is the very definition of humility in today's world.
