One of CR7’s bodyguards on Monday had a forgettable day when driving a $2.1 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse that caused an accident in Majorca, Spain.
Sources from Europe said Ronaldo was traveling with a convoy including himself, his family and bodyguards when the incident occurred. The Portuguese player was riding in another car, in a Bugatti Veyron with only his bodyguards.

According to Daily Mail , the driver of the French supercar seemed unable to control the beast running the W16 engine, leading to it crashing straight into a brick wall on the side of the road. One bodyguard then got out of the car to continue the journey with the group, while one person stayed to work with the local traffic police. The Bugatti Veyron was then transported by a crane for repair.

The front area of the car, based on the photos taken, has many quite obvious scratches on the front bumper and air splitter and the side of the car also needs significant work. Daily Mail sources said that the bodyguard driving the car at that time was fully responsible for the incident. No personal injuries occurred.
During this summer vacation, Ronaldo transported the Bugatti Veyron and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class he owned to Majorca to travel. With an income of up to 125 million USD in the 2021 – 2022 season thanks to salaries and advertising contracts, the cost of repairing the French supercar is just an insignificant number for Ronaldo.
