In 2016, all of Europe was shocked by the news that the most expensive Ferrari in the world was owned by Lionel Messi. The Ferrari Scaglietti is known to cost up to 35 million USD (about 840 billion VND). Messi won it at an auction, surpassing his rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, the most expensive Ferrari in the world
This Scaglietti 335 S is no ordinary vintage Ferrari. It is considered an “invincible” warhorse, continuously winning the championship in many famous races around the world. The 335 S is based on the 520/B chassis and developed on the basis of the 315 S, equipped with a 3.8-liter V12 engine. Later, the car was replaced with a 4.1-liter V12 engine, producing 400 horsepower to “fight” at the Le Mans 24 Hours racetrack.
In fact, Messi has never “showed off” that he is the owner of the most expensive car in the world. He only hinted that he won the auction with a toy racing car (the character McQueen from the movie Cars) with the caption: “This is my new car”.

Bugatti Centodieci – 11.5 million USD – Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s car collection is valued at around $22.5 million. Of which, the most expensive car owned by the Portuguese superstar accounts for half, costing him nearly $11.5 million. That is the Bugatti Centodieci, one of the rarest supercars in the world as only about 10 were produced.

The Bugatti Centodieci is considered a birthday gift to celebrate Ronaldo’s 36th birthday. He officially added it to his expensive collection in February 2021.
Because the Bugatti Centodieci is a limited edition, extremely rare, Ronaldo had to wait more than a year to receive the car.
Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita – $4.8 million – Floyd Mayweather
Considered the “gem” in Mayweather’s car collection, the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita costs up to 4.8 million USD.

The name Trevita means “three whites” in English. The car was also named so because of the innovative materials used to create it.
Before the Trevita, most car manufacturers used only black carbon fiber. This car was a breakthrough because it was made of bright white diamond-coated carbon fiber, a material exclusive to Koenigsegg. Hence the nickname “diamond weave car”.
Mayweather’s Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita was the fastest car in the world when it was released. Yet for some reason, Mayweather sold it for just $2.6 million not long after splashing out on it.

Ferrari Enzo – 3 million USD – Floyd Mayweather
In addition to the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, Mayweather’s car collection also includes a Ferrari Enzo.
The Enzo Ferrari is a 12-cylinder Ferrari supercar named after the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology such as a carbon fiber body, an F1-style sequential shift transmission, and carbon ceramic brake discs.
Ferrari Enzo, Mayweather’s second supercar
In 2004, Sports Car International ranked the Enzo Ferrari third in its list of Top Sports Cars of the First Decade of the 21st Century. Motor Trend Classic ranked the Enzo fourth in its list of “The Greatest Ferraris of All Time”.
Unfortunately, despite its many plus points, this Ferrari Enzo was eventually sold mercilessly by Mayweather at an auction.
Ferrari LaFerrari – $1.3 million – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Two years ago, English fans joked that if they saw a rainbow Ferrari on the street, there was a 99% chance it belonged to Aubameyang.
Indeed, the Gabonese striker owns a very special designed Ferrari. Its entire body is covered in shiny Chrome, making it extremely recognizable.
