Soccer stars and their cars
Where there is money and men, there will be cars. For proof, look no further than the world of football.

The cars footballers drive often reflect their rags-to-riches career paths. Manchester United star Wayne Rooney began his career with a $20,000 Ford Ka; he now has a $1.5 million collection that includes a $175,990 Bentley Continental GT. Even Beckham drove a humble Ford Escort back in the mid-1990s.



Brand sponsorship
Perhaps a safer option for footballers would be to avoid paying for cars at all. Many automakers have witnessed the benefits of brand sponsorship, with Audi choosing to team up with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Hence Cristiano Ronaldo's complementary Audi R8--part of the brand's sponsorship deal with the team--which otherwise would have set him back at least $109,000
