According to Forbes.com, the average EPL player made $2.2 million last year. And what did he spend it on?

Expensive toys.

And it’s not just the EPL guys, either. Highly-paid players all over are coughing up cash for the grownup versions of Hot Wheels.

So what kind of vehicles do some of our richest footballers drive? Check out the list and drool:

  I like Del Piero’s choice, except it’s a little dangerous to be driving such a small thing in that mad-driving country.

  Sam, I agree with you. When you have this much money it really takes a strong person to not go flashy.

  And I am also with you on the driving. When I drive anywhere in Europe I want more metal between me and the other drivers than this!

  I prefer Moritz Volz’s ride: a folding bike.

  I doubt Del Piero actually drives that FIAT.

  Forgive me for being slow with my cars; I had to look up the Audi R8…http://www.dieselstation.com/wallpapers/Audi-R8/Audi-R8-061.jpg

  Maybe Del Piero has some relation to the car. Lionardo Dicaprio has more money than all them combined and he drives a Prius cause it’s environmentally safe.
