Eccentric, hilarious, and unmanageable: all are appropriate descriptions of Mario Balotelli. The AC Milan striker is as notorious for his off-pitch shenanigans as he is for his play. When he’s not throwing darts at youth players, carrying his country with two goals against Germany during the 2012 Euro semi-final and subsequently flexing (though not on Instagram), or setting his house on fire with fireworks, the 22-year-old can be seen peacocking with his fleet of luxury whips. It’s not just the price tag of the cars that’s impressive. Balotelli throws on paintjobs and vinyl covers that make Lil Wayne’s wardrobe look modest. Check it out with A Complete History of Mario Balotelli’s Cars.

Audi R8 V10
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2010
Msrp: $124,00-173,800
There's no better way to break in a new car than, umm, breaking it. Ballotelli crashed his brand new whip on the way to practice just weeks after joining Manchester City. Luckily he emerged unscathed, proving he's immune to criticism and car crashes.
Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2011
Msrp: $143,850
Rumors circulated in 2011 that Super Mario threw a matte black vinyl on his white Maserati to represent his new, humbled attitutde. Two years later we still have the same old Balotelli.
Bentley Continental SuperSports
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2012
Msrp: $175,700-215,000
Who else would cover a six-figure car in camo? Balotelli reportedly sold his Bentley in February, only a month after a Manchester United fan decided to accesorize it with fresh urine. This can't be a coincidence.
Ferrari 458 Spider
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2012
Msrp: $257,000
Balo was seen in a red Ferrari previously and has recently been scooting around in a White 458. We believe that the white one is the same car, just with new rims and a new wrap or paint job, but there's no real way to tell. If the red one is a different ride, we haven't seen it recently, so it's probably just collecting dust, because he's so rich.
Aside from 'rraris, super Mario loves also loves go-karts. AC MIlan, not so much. The team banned him from driving the little speed devils to prevent injury, but that didn't stop the striker from taking his supercar onto an indoor go-kart track.
Range Rover Evoque
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2012
Msrp: $41,145-44,145
Just days after busting out the camo Bentley, Balotelli premiered another vehicle wrapped in bold vinyl. While the look is dope, he should fully commit with a paintjob instead of the removable vinyl. Surely the man has no regrets.
Bonus: ATV
Approximate Time Of Purchase: 2013
Msrp: Unknown
Shortly after photos of Balotelli's camo creation surfaced on the interwebs, one of the best pictures we've seen all year popped up. It includes not just the camo Bent, but a Camo Mario, and a camo ATV. He's probably got a camo gun and shoots camo ducks, too.
