Ten Cars for Forbes’ Ten Wealthiest Athletes

There are few people that make it onto a Forbes list, and there are few people who make it into the world of professional sports as an athlete. To make it into both of those categories requires an unthinkable amount of savvy and dedication, a lifetime of hard work and smart decisions regarding investments, sponsorship choices, management and much more.

It’s a rare achievement to reach the financial top of professional athletes, but in a June 10 list, Forbes has compiled the top 100 people who have done so.

As a fan of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, it only makes sense that Durant would own the model’s successor.

LeBron James | $64.8 Million

Tough enough to take anywhere, with enough leg room to accommodate James’ height.

Lionel Messi | $73.8 Million

Lionel Messi has already confirmed that he’s a fan of Maserati, and especially of his GranTurismo MC Stradale. But it’s hard to compete with the prestige of the MC12 – one of these would make a fine addition to his collection.

Cristiano Ronaldo | $79.6 Million

There doesn’t seem to be a particular type of fine car that Ronaldo has an interest in, but that’s not to say he doesn’t know a fine car when he sees it. He took a ride in the P1 and seemed to enjoy it, so perhaps it’s time to add one to his list.

Manny Pacquiao | $160 Million

He’s shown a penchant both for SUVs and high performance supercars, so a custom Dodge from ICON might be right up this boxing star’s alley.

Mayweather’s collection is legendary, but with the recent sale of his Enzo, perhaps it’s time for another monumental Ferrari to enter circulation.
