N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema couldn’t be more dissimilar in terms of personality.

The 35-year-old Ballon d’Or winner is thought to make £278,000 a week at Real Madrid and lead an opulent lifestyle.

Although Kante, 32, is the winner of the World Cup, he chooses a simple life despite earning £290,000 each week.

SunSport contrasts the two players’ radically dissimilar lifestyles before to their matchup in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal between Chelsea and Real Madrid.

These are the things they like to spend their money on, ranging from the frugal Kante to the extravagant Benzema.

Automobiles Mercedes-Benzema is a frequent Champions League winner and owns an incredible collection of supercars valued at approximately £6 million.

He has been spotted driving a £160,000 Lamborghini Urus most recently, but his most valuable asset is a £2.5 million Bugatti Chiron that he purchased in 2021.

The forward also owns a very rare Bugatti Veyron, which originally cost £1.5 million but is now worth considerably more as a collector’s item.

Then, parked comfortably in Benzema’s garage are a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, which is estimated to be worth up to £400,000 on the current market, and a Ferrari 458 Spyder, which costs £200,000.

Not to be overlooked are the £250,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith and the £220,000 Lamborghini Gallardo.

Kante approaches things rather differently. It is thought that he still drives his used Mini Cooper, which was originally purchased for about £20,000.

According to reports, he purchased it when he joined Leicester City in 2015 and hasn’t sold it since.

The Players’ Tribune was informed by former teammate Antonio Rudiger that “everything with NG [Kante] is authentic.” People make fun of the Mini Cooper, but it actually has a genuine backstory.

“From his home country, it was NG’s goal to play in the Premier League, and the Mini was the first vehicle he purchased after arriving in England.

Thus, it’s more than just an automobile to him. It’s deeply symbolic.”

Shopping and fashion

You can forget about Kante investing in high-end clothing when it comes to style.

The midfield general, who is frequently seen in casual attire and sneakers, showed up for Cesc Fabregas and Daniella Semaan’s 2018 wedding celebration in Ibiza sporting a white polka-dot shirt and blue shorts.

Benzema is a whole distinct species.

He paid homage to a well-known ensemble worn by Tupac Shakur at the 1996 American Music Awards by donning a fitted black tuxedo over a banded collar shirt during his most memorable moment at last year’s Ballon d’Or presentation.

He exuded elegance, matched with pricey Jean Paul Gaultier frames, a Cartier bracelet, and a Richard Mille watch.

He walked the runway for Fendi in 2019 and is a regular on the front row at Paris Fashion Week.

He frequently appears wearing Balenciaga, his go-to designer.
