Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s prolific striker, is making headlines not just for his goals but for his jaw-dropping $6.7 million spending spree on supercars in the past year. The 25-year-old Norwegian, whose towering 6’4” frame dominates the pitch, has turned his passion for speed into a dazzling collection of high-performance vehicles, with his latest acquisition—a Ford Shelby Super Snake F-150—stealing the spotlight. Spotted driving the beastly pickup from City’s Etihad training ground in August 2025, Haaland’s car obsession has fans buzzing: is he building the ultimate garage, or just living the dream of every football star?

The Ford Shelby Super Snake, a $150,000 monster with a 785-horsepower V8 engine, was reportedly a birthday gift to himself for turning 25 on July 21. Capable of hitting 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, the vibrant green truck suits Haaland’s larger-than-life persona. But it’s just the tip of his automotive iceberg. In February, he turned heads with a $270,000 Porsche 911 GT3 in blazing orange, followed by a $5.4 million Bugatti Tourbillion, one of only 250 ever made. The Bugatti, boasting a 1,800-horsepower hybrid V16 and butterfly-wing doors, rockets to 124 mph in just five seconds, embodying Haaland’s futuristic flair. Social media went wild, with one fan tweeting, “Haaland’s Bugatti is faster than most teams’ attacks!” Another joked, “He’s scoring goals and collecting cars like Pokémon!”

Haaland’s garage also includes a $432,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast convertible, a $472,000 Aston Martin DBX 4×4, a $337,000 Mercedes Maybach, and a $162,000 Audi RS6 Avant Quattro. He’s been spotted cruising in a Ferrari Monza SP2, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and Range Rover Sport, cementing his status as a car enthusiast extraordinaire. Fans on TikTok have dubbed him the “Premier League’s gearhead,” with montages of his rides racking up millions of views. But it raises a question: is Haaland’s car collection a reflection of his relentless drive, or simply a way to flex his $610,000-a-week salary from his new Man City contract?

That contract, signed in January 2025 and running until 2034, has fueled Haaland’s lavish lifestyle. Beyond cars, he’s ventured into aviation, investing $2.6 million in two private jets through his image rights company, York Promotions Ltd. Rumors also swirl about his plans to launch a sports drink brand, with products like protein shakes and energy drinks in the works. Haaland’s off-pitch moves mirror his on-field dominance—121 goals in 142 matches since joining City in 2022, including a historic treble in 2022-23 and Premier League titles in 2023-24. His accolades, from PFA Player of the Year to Champions League top scorer, show a hunger that extends beyond football. But does his extravagant spending risk overshadowing his legacy?

Fans are eating up the spectacle, with Instagram posts comparing Haaland’s cars to his blistering runs on the pitch. “He’s as fast in a Bugatti as he is past defenders!” one user quipped. Others wonder if his focus on luxury could distract from his game, especially as City gears up for a crucial Premier League clash against Wolves on August 16. Yet, Haaland’s ability to balance his passions suggests otherwise—he’s as calculated off the pitch as he is clinical in front of goal.

The car collection also sparks curiosity about Haaland’s influences. His collaboration with billionaire car collector Ole Ertvaag for the Bugatti purchase hints at a network of elite connections. Is he building a legacy beyond football, positioning himself as a global brand? Social media debates rage, with some fans arguing, “He’s earned every penny—let him live!” while others question the need for such extravagance. “Seven million on cars? That’s a whole team’s budget!” one comment read.

As Haaland cruises into the new season, his supercar obsession adds a thrilling layer to his larger-than-life persona. Will his high-speed hobbies fuel his performance, or become a distraction in the pressure cooker of the Premier League?
