Luxury cars, mansions & multi-million deals: Meet the richest men in hockey
Image Via Getty Images (Ice Kings of 2025: Inside the lavish lives of the richest NHL players) In 2025, hockey ceased to be a rink-and-score world. It now encompasses contracts, investments, and branding with goals and assistance. The Hockey League thus has flourished into a global stage, where its brightest stars are also some of the sharpest financial minds in sports. Let's now pore through the opulent lives and huge fortunes of the top five richest NHL players who turned the ice game into a golden business. Mario Lemieux: net worth , salary, assets, and investments — MarioLemieuxFdn (@MarioLemieuxFdn) Mario Lemieux – Net Worth: $300 Million Mario Lemieux is not just a hockey player; he is a business genius. In 1999, when the Pittsburgh Penguins owed him $32 million in deferred salary, Lemieux pulled off his greatest deal ever: he forgave the Penguins of the responsibility of the debt in exchange for 25% ownership. When the Penguins were sold in 2021 for $900 million, Lemieux cashed out between an estimated $200–300 million. Overall, Lemieux earned in excess of $50 million during his NHL playing career. He has a $22 million mansion in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, with 50 rooms and a private lake. His luxury car collection is said to include a Bentley Continental GT and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Lemieux is also on the board of directors for a Canadian sports technology company, with endorsement deals through Nike and Gatorade. He also has a vast real estate portfolio. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Meet 100 Years of Rolls-Royce History
Let's get one thing straight about the Rolls-Royce Owners' Club (RROC). Forget any preconceived notions you might have. This isn't some stuffy, velvet-rope affair. The annual meet is a global pilgrimage, and the attendees are true car enthusiasts. They aren't there to show off; they're there to celebrate motoring, automotive history, and engineering excellence. When you boil it all down, it's a gearhead event of the highest order, and that's what makes it so genuinely special. This year's gathering in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was the perfect example. Picture this: a collection of more than 75 motor cars, creating a living, breathing timeline of the marque's entire history. It was a showcase that spanned from the very beginning, the 1904 partnership of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, all the way to the cutting-edge luxury of today. The main event was the centennial of a legend: the Phantom. The visual was just incredible. A new 2025 Rolls-Royce Phantom, the eighth generation, was displayed alongside its pioneering ancestors, a Phantom I and a Phantom III. It was a powerful, side-by-side look at 100 years of holding the title of "the best car in the world." Jon Colbeth, the President & CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars NA, put it perfectly. "The 2025 RROC Annual Meet stood as a testament to the timeless quality and enduring legacy of Rolls-Royce motor cars". And he backed it up with one of the most incredible stats in the automotive world: 70% of all Rolls-Royce cars ever commissioned are still gracing the world's roads. That's a direct result of Sir Henry Royce's guiding principle: "Take the best that exists and make it better". This was also the first chance for many collectors and enthusiasts in North America to get up close with the brand's newest creations: the Ghost Series II and Cullinan Series II. The Ghost Series II is the modern evolution of the values established by the original 1907 Silver Ghost, a car so exceptional that it was once dubbed "the best car in the world" for its refinement and reliability. Today's Ghost is engineered with the driver in mind, loaded with seriously advanced tech like the Planar Suspension System and Satellite Aided Transmission, all powered by the signature 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12. Then you have the Cullinan Series II, the world's preeminent super-luxury SUV. This is how Rolls-Royce extends its mastery into new territory. It features a refreshed exterior that now features massive 23-inch wheels, the largest ever offered on a Cullinan. Inside, one of the coolest new features is the Illuminated Fascia with Cityscape graphics, a stunning piece of craftsmanship. Ultimately, that's what this gathering celebrated. The RROC is a crucial pillar of the brand's heritage and its future. The event was a perfect reminder that every Rolls-Royce, whether it's a hundred years old or fresh from the factory, is more than just a means of transportation. It's a "symbol of human achievement, mechanical artistry, and meticulous craftsmanship". Seeing them all together, surrounded by the people who cherish them, was the perfect way to celebrate a century of perfection.

Shedeur Sanders' new car purchase draws attention before Browns OTAs
Back in the day, rookie players in the NFL made the least amount of money. Veterans treated them bad, and bossed them around in practices as well as off the field. Veterans did not associate with 'rooks' at restaurants or bars. Most rookies never even saw the field for a minimum of two seasons. Just the way it was. Advertisement But now? A team's starting quarterback can be a rookie. So can the left tackle and one of the cover cornerbacks. An EDGE pass rusher picked in the first round is expected to grab one of the starting defensive end spots. But how many rookie purchase a custom Rolls-Royce before their very first training camp? If you said a Cleveland Browns rookie, then you are correct. If that guess is the player Cleveland selected in the first round, fifth overall, you would be mistaken. It is QB Shedeur Sanders, the Browns fifth-round draft pick. Over this past weekend, the delivery of a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom estimated to be worth a minimum of half a million dollars became known via the video below. Advertisement The Browns signed Sanders to a four-year, $4.6 million contract, which includes an annual salary of $1.16 million and a signing bonus of $447,000. The green Rolls-Royce arrived from Advanced Auto Transport out of Southlake, Texas to Deion Sanders' Canton, Texas estate, to an area that already had four trucks, one SUV, one car, one custom golf cart, plus an RV parked outside two buildings that house other vehicles. Editor's note: The arrival of the car begins at 3:45 Trimmed with an orange pinstripe and black wheels, the four-door Rolls-Royce is not his first. At the University of Colorado, Sanders drove a black and gold Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which arrived with custom accessories. He also owned a Rolls-Royce Ghost. Shedeurs' brother Shilo, who signed an undrafted rookie free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and drives a Tesla Cyberbeast, was doing FaceTime with Shedeur when the vehicle arrived. Advertisement Upon seeing the new ride via his brother's cell phone, Shedeur stated: 'That's a winning car.' Shedeur will compete with three other quarterbacks in Browns camp this year: Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon. It is projected that the Cleveland coaching staff will only retain three quarterbacks on their final roster, with at least one signal-caller on their practice squad. It may seem odd that a rookie taken in Round 5 would be spending his money on such a lavish expenditure, but a view into his father's estate and their possessions is simply another toy tossed into the arena for this family. Advertisement Sponsorships have already started coming Shedeur's way when he was featured in a recent Gatorade commercial. So, although his father is wealthy, Shedeur's money-making opportunities are already beginning to surface. This is even though he may become QB3 or could be released. For sponsors, right now, Shedeur is the hot commodity, and everyone wants to watch. With potential earnings from sponsorships and other ventures, Shedeur is in a great position to amplify his financial portfolio significantly. Keep in mind, Shedeur could have made more money if he had remained in college. Last year, he led all college football athletes in NIL money to the tune of $5.1 million. The custom Rolls-Royce is not just a lavish ornament. It is a bold statement even before his NFL career begins that he has arrived and plans to take the league by storm. Whether that happens or not is irrelevant at this point. If he succeeds, it will only help the Browns franchise around him. Advertisement More from

"Another lie": Shedeur Sanders puts $500K Rolls-Royce rumor to rest as he fully commits to Cleveland Browns
Shedeur Sanders (via Getty Images) Shedeur Sanders, recently drafted quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, has laid to rest the viral scandal over a reported $500,000 Rolls-Royce purchase. While skeptics wondered if the rookie was allowing stardom to blind him to football, Shedeur Shedeur sent a resounding message: he's solely dedicated to working his way into the NFL. Against off-field rumors, Shedeur Sanders focuses on Cleveland Browns and football Time for the QB1 talk for Shedeur Sanders, work ethic resemblance of Tom Brady? | THE FACILITY Shedeur Sanders may be a fifth-round draft choice, but the media attention he's receiving is on par with that of a top-five draft pick. Following his selection 144th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, Shedeur Sanders has been fighting to make a name for himself on the field and not in the tabloids. The rookie quarterback, though, was at the center of a maelstrom of rumors this past weekend. Rumors emerged that Shedeur Sanders had bought a bespoke olive-green Rolls-Royce Phantom worth more than half a million. The rumor spread fast on social media, helped by his flashy history and the big NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals he inked in college. But the arithmetic didn't add up for much: Sanders signed a four-year, $4.64 million deal, much of which wasn't guaranteed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invest today with in Shriram's ULIP Shriram Life Insurance Undo If true, the car would have eaten up nearly half of his signing bonus. Rather than let the story gain traction, Shedeur Sanders took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight. 'Another lie. I'm focused on my team, not a car purchase,' he wrote, cutting off the narrative with one swift post. This wasn't merely a reaction to hearsay—it was a strategic move to refocus eyes onto football. With veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel joining the Browns' quarterback room, Sanders is locked into what might be the most critical training camp of his professional career. In an interview with SportsCasting, Shedeur Sanders explained how he's shutting out the noise. 'I've mainly just been focusing on the team, everybody that's currently around me, and the coaches on the team,' he explained. 'I haven't really been on my phone much or talking to many people. I really don't even talk to my family. It's one of those situations where I just have to lock in and stay focused on what's present now. ' Even under the microscope, Shedeur Sanders is demonstrating maturity about his NFL adjustment. The diamond chain and sideline dancing are a thing of the past—at least for now. What's left is a concentrated young player who is determined to see beyond distractions and show that he has a place in the NFL.
