The world's most expensive car ever - the Bugatti La Voiture Noire worth over £9million, has an owner and it is said to be Cristiano Ronaldo. 
The Juventus star bought the unique Bugatti which was first presented to the world at the Geneva Motor Show 2019. Although the French luxury company has confirmed that the Bugatti La Voiture Noire has been bought, they have not confirmed if it is Ronaldo, reported Mirror.co.uk. 
There is only one of the prototype supercar built and is a tribute to the 110th anniversary of the founding of the company. The 260mph car is styled after the legendary Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, only four of which were ever built between 1936 and 1938. The supercar is powered by an 8.0-litre turbocharged W16 engine and can reach 420 kph. It has six exhaust pipes and illuminated lettering. 
According to reports in Daily Mail, it was initially reported that the Bugatti had been bought by former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piech. But according to recent reports in Spanish newspapers, Ronaldo seems to be the actual buyer, who reportedly earns around £26m per year. 
The 34-year-old footballer will however have to wait until 2021 to be able to drive the car as the company is still working to finalise some small details on the prototype, according to reports. This is not the first time Ronaldo has bought an expensive car, as the footballer owns a collection of supercars which reportedly include a Lamborghini Aventator, a Mercedes Clase C Sport Coupe, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Ujn Ferrari 599 GTO, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, an Aston Martin DB9, a McLaren MP4 12C and a Bentley Continental GTC Speed.
Ronaldo helped Juventus get their ninth Serie A title in a row this season. He scored 20 goals in 27 appearances in the league, creating eight assists, but was, however, unable to prevent Juventus slumping to a shock Champions League quarter-final loss to Ajax.
