'The $700 million (about 1 trillion won) man' Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers): how many cars does he own in total? Five supercars owned by Ohtani were revealed and became a big sensation.
Indian daily Times of India on the 1st (Korea time) revealed the cars Ohtani owns in an article headlined 'How many cars does LA Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani own?'
The outlet said, 'Ohtani's love of cars is well known, and it is also a rare clue into his private life. As a Dodgers superstar, he owns several elite vehicles in his garage that combine sleek electric cars and high-performance luxury cars.'
It added, 'His firm taste is revealed in that he favors flagship luxury models that emphasize top-tier craftsmanship as well as the sense of speed of electric cars. This collection is not merely for display but also serves as practical means of transportation,' and 'Ohtani's vehicles are actually driven around the Los Angeles area and often appear at official functions or light team events.'
The outlet revealed five supercars owned by Ohtani. Starting with the Tesla Model X P90D, one of the core collection pieces, the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB11 and Rolls-Royce Wraith are reported to be in Ohtani's garage.
The pure electric SUV Tesla Model X P90D is $120,000 (about 170 million won), the luxury sedan Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG is $189,800 (about 270 million won), the Bentley Continental is $370,000 (about 530 million won). The Aston Martin DB11 is $205,000 (about 300 million won), and the Rolls-Royce Wraith is $330,000 (about 470 million won).
The total amount for the five revealed vehicles is a staggering 1.74 billion won. Considering Ohtani's salary on a 10-year, $700 million (about 1 trillion won) contract with the Dodgers, the car prices may seem modest, but it is quite rare for someone to spend more than 1.5 billion won on cars alone.
That's not all. The Times of India added, 'In addition to the five commonly mentioned cars, several reliable sources further spotlight Ohtani's love of cars. There is speculation he may own a Porsche 911 Carrera S and a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which shows his preference for both high-performance sports cars and electric sports cars.'
