Most Ridiculously Luxurious Rides in Sports.

 During the height of their careers, many professional athletes have more money than they know what to do with. Since more than half of them end up completely broke within years of retirement, we know the one thing they aren't doing is investing their money wisely.

One thing they are doing is buying up expensive, luxury vehicles by the garage full. Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration for some of these guys—although there are plenty who actually do have garages filled with cars. Let's take a look at some of the most ridiculously baller athlete rides out on the road today.

Honorable Mention for Money Wasting: Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders.

When some athletes make it big, the first thing they do is run out and buy some kind of status proving automobile like a Mercedes or Porsche or Ferrari. But Raiders running back Darren McFadden definitely decided to go in another direction. Instead of picking up a classy car at a dealership, he decided to custom design the "Cop Attracter 5000." Good job bro. No…not the ChHonorable Mention for Money Wasting: Chris Johnson, Free Agent.

Chris Johnson–the running back of the Titans. This is the other Chris Johnson—the unemployed cornerback with a career far more forgettable than his car. Listen, I'm not going to judge this guy too harshly. We all have different tastes…I guess I'm just surprised that this nasty, ridiculous spectacle would be anyone's taste.

Before becoming a household name—well, a household name in households that watch golf—Bubba Watson might have been best-known as the golfer with the most nostalgic ride. Watson bought one of the 1969 Dodge Chargers made famous by The Dukes of Hazzard, reportedly punching down around $110,000 for his wheels Stephen Jackson, San Antonio Spurs.

The NBA's Stephen Jackson definitely has a thing for Range Rovers, being the proud owner of two of them. Both of Jackson's Rovers have been tricked up, pimped out and otherwise awesomized by California Wheels. But Jackson does have other interests when it comes to his automobiles. He also owns a Rolls Royce Phantom—one of the ultimate status symbols among athletes and celebrities. Snoop Dogg, Lakers Superfan/Little League Coach.

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been flashy about his sports allegiances for years, especially when it comes to fashion. He's also one of the coaches of his son's little league team, making him officially the coolest coach ever. Oh, and he's a Lakers fan. And judging by this pimped-out-of-its-mind 66 Cadillac, he's quite the Lakers fan. The car has been dubbed the "Snoop de Ville" and comes with three chandeliers, a purple and gold zirconium-encrusted dashboard and some hydro pumps that bounce his ride while he's cruising. And it's not the only "Snoop de Ville" in his collection, either. David Beckham, L.A. Galaxy.

The dashing David Beckham has a lot going for him. He's handsome, he's rich, he used to be really great at soccer, he looks amazing in his underwear and he's got a whole bunch of sweet cars. (Too bad he has to use them to drive around his stick insect wife.) Beckham's collection includes a 2010 Camaro (customized by Platinum Motor Sports), a black Cadillac Escalade ESV with 26" TIS Drop Star rims and a 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead, a convertible perfect for that beautiful Los Angeles weather. Mario Baloteli, Manchester City. Manchester City's resident loose cannon, and certified awesome person, Mario Balotelli has more cars than you can shake a stick at. And you can shake a stick at a lot of cars—trust me on this.

The reason he has so many is because, as he will happily explain to you, he's very rich. Balotelli's got a Bentley, a Ferarri, an Audi, a Maserati GT and a Mercedes. At least he has owned all of those cars at one time or another—he's not known as the best driver and seems to enjoy playing bumper cars with them. Wrestler John Cena According to Complex, Wrestler John Cena is an American with muscles who is into American cars with muscle. Apparently he's even released a DVD chronicling his massive collection of cars that sits in a garage and collects dust.

Among his cars are a 1971 Ford Torino GT, 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge, 1966 Dodge Charger and 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Can't say I'm really a big fan of any of those, but they really suit this WWE superstar. Boss Hog would be jealous as hell. Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid. In 2009, the Real Madrid superstar totaled his ridiculously expensive Ferrari.

It really wasn't a big dead for this loaded footballer, though; he just upgraded to an even more ridiculously expensive Bentley. Not that he even needed to replace it to begin with, Ronaldo has one of the most famously luxurious car collections in all of sorts. His football fortune has paid for a Porsche 911 Carrera 2S Cabriolet, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Bentley GT Speed, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, an Audi R8, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, a Mercedes Benz C220 CDI, an Audi Q7 and about a dozen others. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta, doesn't it dude? Floyd Mayweather Jr., Boxer No surprise that boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a ridiculous ride—"Money" is his middle name, after all.

Naturally, Mayweather doesn't have just one sweet ride—dude has his very own fleet of luxury vehicles. He has more cars than I care to bother listing, but there are two notables: two nearly identical Rolls-Royce Phantoms; one he bought for himself, and one was a gift from his hetero life-mate, 50 Cent.
