Patrice Motsepe is the 18th richest man in South Africa, and his net worth is estimated to be a staggering R3.8 billion. Yes, you read correct, BILLION! But which stars and teams can he buy with all that?
The Mamelodi Sundowns owner is known for splashing the cash when it comes to transfers, but the reality is he can afford much more than buying Eleazar Rodgers and Wayne Arendse for R8 million.
Yes, he can, in fact, afford Lionel Messi – two of him, even – and still have cash to buy more stuff to match up his net worth.
In order to show just what Motsepe could potentially do with his R3.8 billion if he really wanted to, here is what/who the mining and minerals magnate can buy with his money:
- Lionel Messi (R1.8 billion) x 2 + Mamelodi Sundowns (R157 million) + Maritzburg United (R43 million) + R200 million to spend = R3.6 billion
- Cristiano Ronaldo (R1.65 billion) x2 + David De Gea (R500 million) = R3.8 billion
- Neymar (R1.5 billion) + Ronaldo (R1.65 billion) + R995 million to spend = R3.8 billion
- Real Madrid Trio: Gareth Bale (R1.2 billion) + James Rodriguez (R1.2billion) + Karim Benzema (R750 million) + 30 Jomo Cosmos (valued at R21 million each) = R3.8 billion
- Real Madrid (R1 billion) x3 + R600 million to spend = R3.8 billion
- AC Milan (R3.12 billion) x 2 + Wayne Rooney (R600 million) + Platinum Stars (R75.4 million) = R3.79 billion
- World's Most Valuable Match: Real Madrid vs Barcelona (0 – 4) 2015/16 La Liga Season (R1.43 billion) x2 + Paul Pogba (R825 million) + SuperSport United (R107 million) = R3.8 billion
- Absa Premiership (R1.08 billion) x3 + R560 million to spend = R3.8 billion
This is ridiculously mind-blowing. What would you buy with Motsepe's money?
