Inside the ultra-rare Bugatti hypercar that stands out even in Cristiano Ronaldo’s jaw-dropping vehicle collection.
Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo owns an impressive fleet of vehicles that includes some of the world’s most expensive and rare machines. Yet one model in his garage stands apart from the rest—a hypercar developed by Bugatti. Only 10 examples were ever produced, and just three owners have been publicly identified worldwide. Ronaldo is also the only one who has been photographed driving it.
The car in question is the Bugatti Centodieci. Besides Ronaldo, the ultra-exclusive model is known to belong to real estate mogul Fritz Burkard and GT racing driver François Perrodo.
Ronaldo has previously admitted that he rarely drives most of his vehicles himself. According to the Portuguese star, many of the exotic hypercars in his collection are purchased as investments—though, of course, the ability to own them likely plays a role as well.
Owning a Bugatti Centodieci, however, is an extraordinarily expensive experience. Even when the car barely leaves the garage, the costs of maintenance and upkeep remain extremely high.
Routine scheduled service alone can run around $19,000. The tires must be replaced roughly every 18 months, and a full set costs about $10,000.
And those expenses are only part of the story. Owners of such rare hypercars must also pay for specialized storage conditions and extremely costly insurance policies.
Still, for the captain of Portugal’s national team, even those staggering costs are unlikely to be a major concern when it comes to owning one of the rarest and most exclusive hypercars ever built.
