Cristiano Ronaldo may show off his impressive skills on the field, but off the soccer pitch, it’s all about abs and cars. That’s at least true in the case of his latest Instagram post, which features the Portuguese soccer player posed in front of his Bugatti Chiron shirtless.

In the photo, the 35-year-old is posed casually sitting on the ground next to his gray and black supercar. His Bugatti is even emblazoned with "CR7," because customization is king. Ronaldo cheekily captioned the photo, "You choose the view."

For those budgeting at home, the Bugatti Chiron costs a cool $3 million. Meanwhile, abs like Ronaldo’s are pretty priceless, taking countless hours in the gym and, well, an athletic career literally no one can rival.

Back in 2017, Ronaldo told FourFourTwo that along with his regular soccer training, he prioritizes strength and conditioning workouts in the gym. In a May 2020 video with soccer site Tomzo, Ronaldo walked through his regular workout which consists solely of body weight exercises like crunches, lunges, and push-ups. Along with his exercise regimen, it is said Ronaldo eats small meals throughout the day to support muscle growth and a healthy metabolism.

"He's obsessive about taking care of his body," Santiago Segurola, a well-known Spanish soccer journalist, told Bleacher Report in 2018. “He takes care of his body as if it were a Ferrari." Or, in this case, a Bugatti.

Ronaldo is a well-known supercar fanatic, also owning a Bugatti Veyron and a Bugatti La Voiture Noire. An Italian newspaper recently reported Ronaldo added another Bugatti to his collection to celebrate his latest championship win with Juventus. That car, a Bugatti Centodieci, is said to be released in 2021—and comes with a $9 million price tag.

Call him a “show-off” if you will. But hard work and an iconic career warrant some bragging rights.
