Cristiano Ronaldo must play over five hours of football to pay off his Bugatti Veyron while Jesus Navas can buy a new Nissan Micra every 11 minutes
Elite-level footballers have never been richer than they are today. Wages continue to increase at a rapid pace with the first million-pound-a-week player inevitably only a few short years away from emerging.
With more money in the bank and busy schedules, those same footballers have less and less time to find ways to blow their mountains of cash, so it is only natural that many of them have chosen to invest in supercars.
But, as a study from Carspring has discovered, even the fastest and most luxurious motors in the world hardly put a dent in their weekly pay packets, to the point that even George Boyd of Burnley can pay off a £750,000 car in the space of a season.

Europe’s first truly online used car dealership has undertaken vigorous research and calculations to work out just how long the world’s top 256 players need to do what they do best to pay off their chosen cars.
Covering Europe’s top five leagues as well as the super-rich Chinese Super League, Carspring have used public information regarding the cars each of the chosen players drives and, using the estimated annual salary of the player excluding bonuses, worked out just how much time on the pitch they need to play to pay it off.
The full list, which can be seen here, includes some of the biggest names, and the most expensive cars, in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo, himself widely regarded as the best player on the planet at the moment, has fittingly chosen one of the fastest and priciest cars to get him from A to B, the £1.8million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.
