Wanderlei Silva – Aston Martin Vantage V8
As a world-famous fighter, Wanderlei Silva deserves the praise and regalia. He is also deserving of driving luxury vehicles when on the road. He had, in fact, been seen riding an Aston Martin Vantage V8. To show his love for his roots and his country now, he displayed an animated Brazilian Flag and an American flag on both sides of the car. This grand tourer is equipped with a V8 engine and a six-speed transmission. The modern car is given credit for being among the cleanest and most agile vehicles in the Aston lineup. The car’s character, as well as his “The Axe Murderer” brand on the ring, are a perfect match, as he is among the most agile fighters, with the longest winning streak in the history of PRIDE.
Dana White – Cadillac Escalade
Dana White has quite a history and a mouth. He is known to be among the most foul-mouthed fighters and business executives, but he also is brutally honest with people. When he sold the UFC, his wealth spiked to a stunning $500 million, making him among the most elite of fighters. He still is the President of the UFC now and has made the organization a globally known billion-dollar business. For his car investments, we would expect that he has several. Among what he owns is a Bentley Continental GT, a Dodge Charger, a Ferrari F430, and a Hummer H2. His favorite limo, however, is a Cadillac Escalade, where he has been spotted alighting from on various occasions. One of these stretched cars is priced at around $300,000 or higher.
Jermaine Pennant – Aston Martin DBS
Winger for the Billericay Town Football Club Jermaine Pennant is known to drive an Aston Martin DBS. This English footballer has scored a total of 24 goals in his career and was born in Nottingham. At 37, he has one child and a net word estimated to be between $1 and $5 million. So for sure, can he afford to buy many more luxury vehicles as investments. His Aston Martin DBS, however, is an eye-catcher when on the road. The car’s exterior screams sophistication, smoothness, and sleek. When encountering this on the road, you will probably have to cover your eyes as it can be flashy. This grand tourer coupe has a V12 engine and a six-speed transmission. With this power, the vehicle can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of over 200 mph.
James Harrison – Smart Car
We usually encounter an odd one every now and then, and Jim fits that description. Usually, athletes opt for vehicles that are big and wide, that consume exorbitant amounts of gas. But not Jim. This linebacker has chosen to drive a tiny Smart Car. He probably did it for fun or to save on fuel, but we know that he most likely cares for the environment, too. Well, I think if he keeps that up, he could help in his own little way. Recent studies showed that smart car technologies could save drivers around the world a staggering $6.2 billion on fuel costs. So while Smart cars might be a bit pricey at the start, the fuel savings, in the long run, will make it worth it. We just hope the maintenance costs on these vehicles are not sky-high.
C.J. Wilson – McLaren F1
CJ Wilson used to play baseball for the Texas Rangers from 2005 to 2011 and then with the LA Angels from 2012 to 2015. He had earned a run average of 3.74 and a win-loss record of 94.70. We can say that this baseball star sure won some serious games. He now owns an American auto racing team and has taken an interest in cars. He sure can afford the best and fastest without taking out a cash loan. He owns a McLaren F1, among the fastest on the planet. Under the hood of this car on steroids is a V12 engine. It also has a six-speed manual transmission. The F1 accelerates from 0 to 60 in just 3.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 240 mph. The car’s exterior also looks stunning, and the door that swings upward simply looks amazing.
Devin Hester – Chevrolet Impala
Who says Louis Vuitton only makes bags? They also produce cars. Well, no, they do not. But Devin Hester’s Chevrolet Impala has Louis Vuitton designs all over the vehicle. Devin is a fan of customizing cars, and his Impala was not spared from it. From the rims to the paint scheme all over the car, it is Louis Vuitton. We do wonder if LV was contacted before this was done? If not, he might have a problem, and he might experience setbacks in his investments as trademark lawsuits can be very expensive. Nonetheless, this Impala is a head-turner. The estimated cost of the vehicle, plus the modification, is at $250,000. The amount is a testament to how this former professional football player loves his customized cars!
Darren McFadden – 1972 Buick Centurion
Darren was a former linebacker. In 2008, he was drafted by the Oakland Raiders. At one point he also played for the Dallas Cowboys. Due to his athletic ability, Darren was given a scholarship while getting his degree at the University of Arkansas. He once had paternity issues, which he needed a lawyer to handle, but had a good life and career otherwise. He likes taking charge of this, be it in football or his life, and so decided to design his own car. He painted his 1972 Buick Centurion and christened it a “cop attracter”. It sure would attract not only cops but also kids, as the vehicle would remind them of Barney. He might even end up giving out candies when driving this looker on the side streets.
Stephen Curry – Porsche GT3 RS
We know Stephen Curry to be an Infiniti ambassador, so his garage will definitely have at least one of the various luxury cars carried by the automaker. Stephen has also been driving around his own vehicles, including several Porsche cars. Recently, he was seen in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This particular model is designed with speed as the goal, as its 4 L flat-six engine produces power that is equal to 500 braking horsepower. Stepping on the gas can accelerate the car from 0 to 62 in just 3.4 seconds. So when not in the court, expect him on the road driving the GT3 RS or any of his other cars.
Kirk Cousins – GMC Savana
Kirk Cousins is the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. He started with a bright career in college, and in 2018 signed an $84 million contract with the Vikings. He was at some point the highest-paid player when considering per year income. With millions in the bank, he didn’t have to take out a personal loan to buy some of his expensive cars. But did you know that one of his cars is a 2000 Savana GMC that he bought for only $5,000? It had 130,000 miles to it and a lot of dents here and there. But it was sold to him by his grandmother, so as a loving grandkid, he obliged. Plus, he believes that buying assets that depreciate over time is not a good idea. Well, perhaps he can buy one of the vintage ones which actually gain more value over time.
