Mbappé’s Humble Ride in Paris: A Million-Euro Wallet, A £35k Car
Mbappé swaps luxury for a Mini in Paris

Mbappe’s Humble Ride in Paris

Kylian Mbappé, the Real Madrid star, was seen driving a modest car worth about £35,000 during his Paris stay, despite an enormous annual salary of £12.8 million.

According to the Daily Mail, Mbappé owns a collection of luxury cars valued at around £2 million.

However, the French forward traded the luxury fleet for a small, open-top Mini Cooper while moving around Paris.

Return for Medical Opinion Ahead of a Big Match

He had returned to Paris for a second medical opinion on a knee injury that could sideline him from the upcoming Champions League round of 16 clash with Manchester City.

Reports say Mbappé was seen driving shortly after getting his driving license, a milestone he achieved during his recent spell away with an injury to sit his driving test.

Despite owning high-end cars such as a Ferrari SF90 and a BMW i7, he chose a smaller, cheaper car during his stay in the city.

Punchline 1: If Mbappé can pass a driving test after an injury, my own driving scorecard could use a miracle swap.

Punchline 2: When you’ve got a fortune but still opt for a tiny car, the only horsepower you’re chasing is street cred, darling.
