Kylian Mbappe is currently the hottest name on world sports covers. Most are inclined to assume that Kylian Mbappe will leave Paris Saint Germain (PSG) to join Real Madrid at the end of the season. And the fact that the brightest star in football today cannot drive has surprised many people.
For a long time, there are three characteristics of football players that fans will associate with other than their career: fame, money and luxury car collection. Images of football stars associated with supercars from Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche always linger in the imagination of many people. But with Kylian Mbappe, things will be different.
In France, people can get a driver’s license from the age of 18. But for Kylian Mbappe, since signing with PSG, he has been assigned bodyguards, chefs and… private drivers by the club.
In fact, the club also organized and registered courses for Kylian Mbappe at several driving schools in the French capital, but the 25-year-old striker is still not interested in getting a driver’s license.
Kylian Mbappe once shared in an interview with Bleacher Report that getting a driver’s license has never been one of his priorities. The PSG star just wanted to live a full life with football and from a young age he only focused on developing himself into a professional player. So Kylian Mbappe doesn’t have time to learn to drive.
“That’s one of the disadvantages of being successful early. I missed out on seemingly simple things like having a driver’s license. I think everyone has a driver’s license. For many people it’s important, But not for me. Having a driver’s license usually means being able to travel independently, but I can also take the initiative because there is always a driver available. So that has never been my top priority,” Kylian Mbappe said.
Kylian Mbappe still has a luxury car collection
Even though he doesn’t drive, Kylian Mbappe still has a collection of high-end cars. European media shared that the French striker owns a limited edition Ferrari 488 Pista that costs about 500,000 euros. But for a super sports car, using a driver is very inappropriate. Therefore, Kylian Mbappe mainly uses the car to watch because he cannot drive it out of his garage.
In addition, he also has many other valuable cars from the brands Range Rover, Audi, Mercedes, BMW… People close to Kylian Mbappe said he also owns a Volkswagen Multi Van worth 80,000 euros and a Mercedes-Benz V-Class costs 134,000 euros. The two cars have large space in the back seats so he often uses them when traveling.
