Francis Ngannou is an elite athlete that is often mentioned in the same breath as Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
This has to do with his UFC career but, crucially, also his net worth.

The 37-year-old fighter is gearing up to take on Tyson Fury in a match that’ll take place in Saudi Arabia.
Ngannou is set to walk home with $10 million from the fight and he’ll probably spend some of that cash to add another vehicle to his amazing collection.
Francis Ngannou and his G-Wagen
At 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, Ngannou is a big guy, which is why he needs a big vehicle.
The G-Wagen fits the bill.
And not just any G-Wagen – it’s the AMG model.
What we’re looking at here is 2.5 ton of brute force.
Despite its weight, the Mercedes-AMG G-Class is able to sprint from standstill to 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 5.3 seconds thanks to the 563-horsepower, 5.5-liter Biturbo V8 that powers it.
With a list price of $179,000, this car isn’t for everyone.
Ferrari 488 GTB
Ngannou holds both Cameroonian and French citizenship but he resides in Las Vegas – the world capital when it comes to MMA stars.
Ngannou regularly drives his Ferrari 488 GTB in Sin City, and he sometimes drive a similar model around the track.
With a starting price of around $200,000, the Ferrari 488 isn’t cheap, but yet its value pales in comparison to other cars in his collection.
Rolls-Royce Ghost and Phantom
Ngannou owns both a Ghost and its big brother, the Phantom.
The Ghost is ‘slightly’ smaller, measuring 212 inches (5.3 meters), but, just like the Phantom, it’s powered by a V12 and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.7 seconds.
It has an MSRP of $400,000.

The Phantom is also powered by a V12, but it’s a different one.
The biggest available Rolls-Royce uses the iconic 6.75-liter V12, and it is still capable of mind-blowing acceleration figures despite having less power.
More importantly, the Phantom is one of the most expensive cars on the market.
Pricing starts at $493,000.
