Lionel Messi, the football legend boasting seven Ballon d’Or titles, reigns supreme with the world’s most expensive car collection among top-paid athletes.

With a total of 13 vehicles valued at over £28 million, he outshines even Cristiano Ronaldo by £10 million in this regard. One particular standout in Messi’s collection is his unique 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, which he acquired for a staggering £25 million in a 2016 auction in Paris, adding to his impressive array of luxury cars. His remarkable lineup includes a lightning-fast F430 Spider, a Pagani Zonda Roadster (although not road-legal), a distinctive Mercedes SLS AMG, various Maserati models, Audis, Range Rovers, and even a Toyota Prius, which was gifted to him after a Club World Cup victory.
