Ron's spentley £2m

Cristiano Ronaldo's new £140,000 motor takes his car total past £2m

CRUISING: United ace Cristiano Ronaldo

By Matthew Acton, 14/09/2008

HELLO, Ron’s got a new motor—AGAIN.

Car-crazy Cristiano Ronaldo this week took delivery of a Bentley Continental GT Speed.

It cost £140,000—taking the total he has spent on motors since joining Man United five years ago above the £2 million mark.

In the last three months alone, the 23- year-old midfielder has blown £630,000 on cars—£340,000 on a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe and £150,000 on the registration plate CR7.

And in February he put his name on the two-year waiting list for a £875,000 Bugatti Veyron, the 235mph supercar he once raced in a Nike ad.

Ronaldo has owned some of the world’s most exclusive motors, including two Porsche Cayennes, a BMW M6, Bentley Continental GTC, Porsche 911, Ferrari F430 and a Merc bought for his then lover Nereida Gallardo.

His Bentley GTC — with a red leather interior to match his strip — is now on the market at £99,995 at a garage in Bolton, Lancs.

A United source said: “Fans expect stars to blow their wages on big cars and Ronaldo’s no exception.”

But the free-scoring Portugal player used to have more modest tastes. As a teenager at Sporting Lisbon, before his £12 million transfer to Old Trafford, he drove to training in a humble Seat Ibiza.

he earns a lot of money per weak and a few hundred thousands of pound is only a small mount of his account, so that he can spend his money on anything he likes. let him enjoy it

Please let the guy enjoy his wealth, he work hard so that he can have it all, so let him spend the money as he wish

Someone should be advising him to put all his money into property, not pissing it away on fast cars.
Property is the only investment that will always stay ahead despite tumultous times. They may have their dips but usually always come out ahead.
The sooner he knows this , the days after football finishes, will be wonderful for him.
You are a great player, but leave plenty for your next stage in life.

I am starting to wonder if this guy is worth the trouble and cash. His performance during the Euro wasn't all that great. Love how he keeps dating women with questionable pasts and only for their bods. As soon as he finds out about it, he dumps them. So what if Nereida had sex with other soccer players before him. What she had done before him was her business. This guy will always cheat and will never have a long term relationship. Watch him starting to tank soon and I predict that in a few years, he will be a has been.

you should be ashamed ronaldo, on the wages you get paid, you should give it to charity. It's amazing what you people get paid, for sitting on the bench because u broke ur fingernail.

Ronaldo is still young and enjoying his life. Good luck to him and his money. He's earned it so he should be able to spend it on anything he likes. People who do not agree are usually the jealous people who wish they could do what he does. As long as he keeps playing for Manchester United he should he should have the best of everything.
