Springboks star Eben Etzebeth has the plug and the bling, too. With an illustrious career spanning years, he has quickly become one of the most celebrated rugby stars.
His huge social media following always thrust him into top trends whenever he posts. Eben Etzebeth topped trends after his photos standing next to a sleek Mercedes-Benz flooded the internet.
Since they were posted online, the photos have received thousands of comments and reactions. Petrolheads were quick to praise Eben Etzebeth’s sleek Merc.
However, little is known about whether he owns the car or if it was just a promotional post for Mercedes-Benz, which he ambassadorially represents. Over the years, he has wowed many with his Mercs, but he has not openly confirmed them as his.
The Springboks star shared photos of a sleek Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 S E Performance on Instagram. The car is an absolute beast, one of the most sought-after C-Classes, and boasts several outstanding specs. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.4 seconds.
However, Mzansi has been trying to understand the car’s price tag since Eben Etzebeth shared his post. Surprisingly, the car has a base price of R2.5 million at several dealerships nationwide.
However, prices vary because of the year of manufacture, trims, and models. After all, it seems Eben Etzebeth has a soft spot for Mercedes-Benz, just like other Springbok stars.
No doubt, a host of Springboks players reportedly owns some of the world’s most sought-after Mercedes-Benzs. Springboks speedster Cheslin Kolbe hogged headlines earlier this year after he showed off a sleek Mercedes-Benz AMG A45 in an Instagram post.
The car’s base price is R1.3 million, but several dealerships nationwide have priced the sleek German automobile at R1.6 million. Springboks captain Siya Kolisi and his wife Rachel reportedly own a fleet of sleek Mercedes-Benzs that cost a fortune.
Besides the C63 S, Eben Etzebeth reportedly owns a V8-powered GLS 63, which is appropriate for the player who measures over 2 metres in height.
The car’s base price tag is R4.2 million in several dealerships nationwide. However, after South Africa’s Rugby World Cup triumph, the star was reportedly gifted a Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 D. His wife reportedly owns the latest GLC 300 D model.
No doubt his flashiest car collection often implicates his net worth in the mix.
