The ultimate footballers’ car collections

Posted by | Posted in People | Posted on 17-03-2009

Football star Wayne Rooney is the Premier League’s king of cars, owning a host of the world’s most expensive automotive exotica – but he’s struggling to get his hands on a £350,000 Mercedes McLaren SLR Convertible.

So who else has an envious collection? 

Wayne Rooney

While most 22-year-olds are happy with a supermini or hatchback, Wayne Rooney isn’t – but then again most 22-year-olds don’t earn more than £100,000 a WEEK. The Manchester United and England star has a Lamborghini Gallardo, Bentley Continental GT, Range Rover, Aston Martin Vanquish and BMW M6 in his motoring stable.

But now Wayne Rooney wants a Mercedes McLaren SLR convertible - with red seats. He’ll need to fork out more than £350,000 for the 207mph Mercedes – and according to press reports, he’s struggling to get his hands on one…

Money spent:  £750,000 +

Claude Makelele

Defensive midfielder Claude Makelele (above) – who cost Chelsea £16 million to buy from Real Madrid – has one of the most expensive motors in the Stamford Bridge car park – a £350,000 Mercedes McLaren SLR.

The SLR hypercar will hit a colossal 207mph. Other cars in his stable include a Ferrari 360 supercar and a Mercedes SL65 AMG (above) - a £150,000 convertible with a more-than-adequate 612bhp and 737lb/ft of pulling power.

Money spent:  £600,000 +

Steven Gerrard

The man who has helped Liverpool out of so many sticky situations is doing his best to help the UK new car market too. Steven Gerrard – the Champions League-winning attacking midfielder – has owned a Porsche 911 Turbo, Mercedes SLK, Aston Martin Vanquish, BMW X5, Bentley Continental and Range Rover Sport HST.

Money spent:  £530,000 +

Rio Ferdinand

The Manchester United and England central defender is as famous for his cars as he is for his hairstyles. Ferdinand loves American motors, and has owned a Cadillac Escalade 4×4 and a Ford F150 pick-up truck.

Rio Ferdinand’s Chrysler 300C was for sale on Auto Trader, a stark contrast from his European cars such as the £190,000 Bentley Arnage, £120,000 Bentley Continental and the obligatory BMW X5.

Car collection: £480,000 +

John Terry

Chelsea and England captain John Terry isn’t afraid to splash the cash, once forking out £80,000 on a watch.

He’s owned a £130,000 Ferrari F430 Spider, Range Rover Sport, BMW X5, Porsche 911 Turbo and a Bentley Continental.

Money spent: £450,000 +

William Gallas

A former colleague of Claude Makelele at Chelsea, Arsenal captain William Gallas also counts the Mercedes McLaren SLR hypercar as one of his cars. But unlike Makelele, Gallas also owns a Mercedes ML63 AMG 4×4 – an off-roader which will still accelerate from 0-60mph in five seconds.

Money spent: £425,000 +

Frank Lampard

Chelsea’s high scoring midfielder has a penchant for luxury tourers. Over the past couple of years the England international has had a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and Aston Martin DB9 parked on the drive of his million pound Surrey home.

The Ferrari 612 is a £182,000 four-seat beast with a top speed of 199mph, while the £110,000 DB9 will top out at 186mph. Lampard bucks the BMW X5 trend, opting for a £75,000 Mercedes ML63 AMG 4×4 instead – an off-roader which hits 60mph from standing in five seconds.

Money spent:  £375,000 +

Michael Owen

Liverpool’s past hero and international football star Michael Owen owns a cool collection of cars, including a Jaguar X-type (above), Range Rover V8 Vogue and a Chrysler Voyager.

Michael Owen’s garage was also home to a jet black Jaguar XKR 460 Typhoon, extensively modified by Jaguar specialists Racing Green Cars. To top off his collection, an Aston Martin DB7 Vanquish sits outside the Newcastle striker’s home.

Money spent: £300,000 +

Jermaine Defoe

Portsmouth striker Jermaine Defoe owns a couple of top-of-the-range SUVs, including a BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport.

The ex-Tottenham lad also owns an Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Mercedes ML63 AMG.

Money spent: £250,000 +

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo is arguably the world’s best footballer, so fittingly he’s after the world’s ultimate car - the 253mph Bugatti Veyron. Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo raced a Veyron in a recent commercial – and has now got his name down on the list for the £830,000 hypercar, but he’ll have to wait a year before he can show up at the training ground in the 1,001bhp.

In the meantime he’ll have to make do with his Audi R8 supercar, which will only manage 187mph. Ronaldo has also counted a BMW X5 and Ferrari 360 among his cars.

Money spent:  £250,000 + (+ £830,000 for the Bugatti)

But that’s nothing against a particular England legend plying his trade in Los Angeles…

David Beckham

David Beckham, Goldenballs himself, has had an almost perfect football career, winning a cluster of trophies with Man United and Real Madrid, while picking up 99 caps for England. And David Beckham’s car collection is just as mind-bogglingly brilliant. His motors include a Ferrari 575, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, two Bentley Arnages, a Porsche 911 Turbo, Rolls-Royce Phantom and the retro Aston Martin V8.

If he wanted to go off-roading he could take his armour-plated BMW X5, Range Rover and practically every American 4×4 and pick-up built over the past decade from a Ford F150 and Lincoln Navigator to the GMC Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escallade.

Plus he owned an Aston Martin DB7 with the registration plate DB7 – saluting not only the car but also his initials and shirt number at Manchester United. Tally in the BMW M3, Mercedes S Classes, Bentley Continental, TVRs, Audi Q7 and Hummer and it’s a hell of a figure. And Beckham’s Mercedes S500 was for sale on Auto Trader last year.

But how did David Beckham start his motoring career? In 1991 with a Ford Escort.

Money spent: £2 million +

Forex trading is not rocket science

Posted by | Posted in Financial, How To, Investing | Posted on 26-02-2009

Extraordinary, because it’s about two guys who were “down on their luck” and who made a remarkable discovery which changed their lives. This is about turning a tough reality into an impossible dream.

It’s a true story, which really happened…and which has already helped Forex traders around the world to churn out countless dollars of pure profit.

Let me introduce you to James de Wet and Chris Mathews. It’s probably quite well known that James had a civil law suit brought against me in 2004 which literally wiped out my multi-million Dollar Forex trading company. I lost everything. Overnight.

Chris was in the same position, and almost went bankrupt due to similar factors outside his control…

Unfortunately, I was not able to start again as an institutional Forex trader, due to the restrictions placed on me after the civil suit. For the next three months, I examined every large and small mistake I had made whilst trading millions of dollars….I pulled apart thousands of hours of trading hour by hour to find the mistakes and THE SOLUTIONS.

Even though I had traded tens of millions of dollars and made money for years, the mistakes which ended with my downfall are the same mistakes almost every trader makes over and over again…

You see, there are thousands of folks in the same position as Chris and I were. Most traders want a new source of income with the freedom of working for themselves from home. They try various trading systems, fail over and over again, have to continue working for a boss, struggle to pay the bills…

You know the story…

The problem is that there are limited opportunities for many folks out there, and most feel that they are destined to being “average” and possibly even poor, for the rest of their lives. They know that there must be something out there, but they search for it endlessly without success.

How to Buy and Sell Sperm

Posted by | Posted in Financial, How To | Posted on 26-02-2009

It’s not like anyone grows up thinking, “Gee, someday I’ll buy sperm and raise a beautiful family!” But for infertile couples and women who choose to raise a child without a male partner, a sperm bank is a tremendous resource. And for those gentlemen who want to take a hands-on approach to helping someone conceive–or just need the extra money–these tips will help the process go swimmingly.

Buy

- Ask your OB-GYN for a sperm bank recommendation, or ask others who have been through the insemination process which bank they used.

- Read the bank’s Web site carefully. Examine its policies on anonymity, the donor screening process and genetic testing. If you have questions or concerns, give them a call.

- Review the menu of fees. A wide range of services is available, from genetic testing to photo matching, shipping to storage, cord banking to sperm washing. Sperm samples themselves run from $100 to $250 depending on the processing involved. Washed sperm, for example, has the semen removed in preparation for an intrauterine insemination (IUI).

- Start shopping: Review donor profiles and order complete medical history of those you’re interested in.

- Choose your guy, call the bank and order your sperm. Have it shipped directly to your doctor’s office, or to your home if your partner or a midwife will be doing the honors.

Sell

- Contact a reputable bank via e-mail or phone. They will conduct a brief interview, then ask you to come in.

- Provide a sample for preliminary screening. It will be frozen, then thawed a week later to check for cryosurvival. Semen must meet minimum requirements for motility, morphology and sperm count. Most potential donors–up to 95 percent–are disqualified.

- Complete more testing and give full medical history of your whole family, which is evaluated for potential birth defects or genetic conditions. After eight weeks to three months of testing, freezing and testing your sperm again, you are a fully qualified donor.

- Bank the cash. Fees paid range from $35 per donation to $900 per month for three samples a week. Donors qualify for bonuses for successful referrals and when they exit the program.

- Hands off: You are asked not to ejaculate for 48 hours prior to donating to ensure that your sperm count is high enough.

Tips And Warning

- Most banks guarantee complete anonymity of both donor and recipient. Some, such as Cryobank.com, have an openness policy whereby if the child at age 18 or older wants to know the identity of the donor–and the donor agrees–a meeting can be arranged. Still other banks, like RainbowFlag.com, disclose the identity of the donor by mutual consent when the child is 3 months old.

- Donors must commit to staying in the program for a minimum of nine months to a year due to the rigorous testing involved. Donors will be “retired” after a certain number of successful births, usually 10.
