Cristiano Ronaldo Did NOT Buy $19 Million Bugatti Supercar

EXCLUSIVE

Sorry gearheads … Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT the mystery man who snatched up the most expensive car in the world — a $19 million Bugatti supercar, TMZ Sports has learned. 

There are reports from all over the world that CR7 whipped out his checkbook to score the Bugatti La Voiture Noire — aka “The Black Car” — a one-of-a-kind beauty which was revealed to the world back in March at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. 

The car is a rocket ship on wheels — with an 8.0-liter turbocharged W16 engine and a top speed of a ridiculous 260 MPH!!!!!!

During the Geneva Motor Show, Bugatti exec Stephan Winkelmann had announced the car had already been claimed by a wealthy buyer, but he didn’t reveal the buyer’s identity. 

“There will never be another,” Winkelmann said … “I am pleased to tell you that it has sold for 16.7 million euro.”

The price was reportedly determined in a secret auction — where only Bugatti’s top clients were allowed to participate. 

Several reports strongly suggested Ronaldo placed the top bid — but a spokesperson for the soccer superstar tells us bluntly, “The story isn’t true. He has not bought it.”

So, who is the mystery buyer? Unclear at this point … but there’s a small group of VERY rich car-obsessed moguls who are always on the hunt — including Floyd Mayweather. 

FYI, the model displayed at the Geneva Motor Show is not functional — and Bugatti reportedly needs 2 more years to build the actual, drivable version. In other words, don’t expect to see this thing on the streets any time soon.
