African footballers are known for their flair on the pitch, but off it, many also live in serious style. From Rolls-Royces to Lamborghinis, some of the continent's biggest stars have built jaw-dropping car collections that reflect both their status and success.
Here's a look at the top 10 African footballers with the most expensive cars. These luxury vehicles are statements of taste, class, and wealth, and some of these players also own private jets.
1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Ferrari LaFerrari (£2.3 million)
When it comes to flashy cars, Aubameyang leads the way. The former Arsenal and Barcelona forward has built one of the most iconic collections in football, and at the centre of it is his Ferrari LaFerrari, worth over £2 million.
With a hybrid V12 engine and a top speed of 217 mph, it is one of the fastest and rarest Ferraris ever made. Aubameyang has also been spotted driving a Lamborghini Aventador, Range Rovers, and even a gold-wrapped Audi R8.
2. Samuel Eto'o - Bugatti Veyron (£1.5 million)
The Cameroonian legend had a brilliant career and an even flashier lifestyle. At the peak of his powers, he splashed out on a Bugatti Veyron, one of the fastest production cars ever built. With a top speed of over 250 mph and a price tag around £1.5 million, it is a car reserved for the elite.
His garage also included Aston Martins, Bentleys, and a Maybach, showing he had a serious love for luxury motoring.
3. Didier Drogba - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (£750,000)
Didier Drogba was known for his clutch genes and his love of fine cars. His most expensive is the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, a supercar developed by two giants of engineering. With butterfly doors and a hand-built engine, it's a car fit for a king.
The Ivorian has also driven Porsches and Ferraris during his playing days, always opting for performance and style.
4. Asamoah Gyan - Rolls-Royce Phantom (£400,000)
Ghanaian star Asamoah Gyan has never been shy about his lavish lifestyle. At the centre of his car collection is a Rolls-Royce Phantom, customised to his taste, a car often reserved for royals and tycoons.
He also owns several 4x4s, including a bulletproof SUV, and has been spotted with multiple luxury sedans in Ghana.
5. Emmanuel Adebayor - Rolls-Royce Phantom (£360,000)
No list like this would be complete without Adebayor, who's never shied away from displaying his wealth. His most prized possession is a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a luxury car known for its silent ride, handmade interior, and elite status.
Adebayor also owns a Bentley Continental GT, a G-Waggon, and several sports bikes. His fleet reflects a man who enjoys the finer things in life.
6. Wilfried Zaha - Lamborghini Aventador (£350,000)
Wilfried Zaha is known for his flair on the pitch, and he brings the same energy to his garage. His most eye-catching ride is the Lamborghini Aventador, a bold and aggressive supercar that commands attention wherever it goes. With a V12 engine and a price tag upwards of £350,000, it is a serious statement of power and prestige.
Zaha's Aventador has been customised with unique wraps and finishes over the years, reflecting his vibrant personality. He has also been seen driving a Rolls-Royce Wraith and a Mercedes-AMG G63.
7. Obafemi Martins - Ferrari Spider (£300,000)
Former Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins has always had a reputation for speed, both on and off the pitch. Among his prized possessions is a Ferrari Spider, a car built for thrill-seekers and speed lovers.
With a garage that includes Lamborghinis and Porsches, Martins clearly appreciates top-end performance and the prestige that comes with it.
8. Mohamed Salah - Bentley Continental GT (£160,000)
Mohamed Salah may be humble in interviews, but his taste in cars is certainly elite. The Liverpool and Egypt forward owns a Bentley Continental GT, a favourite among footballers for its blend of performance and comfort. Priced at £160,000, it is a proper statement vehicle.
He has also been seen in a Lamborghini Aventador and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, quietly building one of the slickest garages in African football.
9. Sadio Mane - Bentley Continental GT (£160,000)
Though known for his humility and generous charity work, Sadio Mané still enjoys the occasional treat. Like Salah, he owns a Bentley Continental GT, often regarded as the perfect balance between luxury and speed.
Mane has always kept things low-key, but when he is behind the wheel of his Bentley, there is no hiding his success.
10. Riyad Mahrez - Bentley Bentayga (£160,000)
The Algerian has a refined taste when it comes to luxury vehicles. His standout car is the Bentley Bentayga, a high-performance luxury SUV that blends speed, comfort, and status. With a price tag of £160,000, it is one of the most elegant 4x4s on the market, and Mahrez drives it in serious style.
The Bentayga is known for its handcrafted interior and powerful W12 engine, making it both a driver's car and a prestige symbol. Mahrez has also been seen with a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a Mercedes G63 AMG, showing his preference for high-end, comfortable rides that still pack a punch on the road
