Ronaldo buys himself end of the year 'beast'

 

Being one of the world's richest and highest paid footballers has its advantages and one of them being able to buy yourself new rides.

And that is what Cristiano Ronaldo did to celebrate nearing the end of a remarkably successful 2016 by showing off the latest addition to his impressive car collection.

The 31-year-old won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Euro 2016, Club World Cup and the fourth Ballon d'Or of his career during a year that he has described as his greatest as a professional.

His club side are currently on a mid season break and Ronaldo has used the period to spend some time with family but, shortly before first-team training on Wednesday, he took to Instagram to show fans his latest prized asset.

Along with the caption "new beast" he posted a photograph of a brand new Mercedes, believed to be the AMG GLE model valued at close to €115,000.
