Former Nigerian international footballer Obafemi Martins, affectionately known as “Obagoal,” has long been celebrated not only for his prowess on the pitch but also for his extravagant lifestyle. In 2016, Martins marked his 32nd birthday in style by acquiring an impressive Iguana Expedition yacht valued at approximately $460,000, or about N176 million at the time. This luxury vessel is designed to handle challenging sea conditions, capable of navigating steep inclines and lateral slopes with ease, making it a testament to Martins’ love for high-end possessions.
Martins also owns a customized Bentley Bentayga, a 2017 model reportedly worth around $230,000, or about N87 million. This powerful SUV is renowned for its speed and luxury, featuring a 6.0-liter W-12 engine that propels it from 0 to 60 mph in just seconds. Additionally, his collection includes a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon valued at around $92,000, or about N35 million.
Throughout his illustrious career, Martins played for top-tier clubs like Inter Milan, Newcastle United, and Seattle Sounders FC. His five-season stint in the Chinese Super League, where he featured for Shanghai Shenhua and Wuhan FC, significantly boosted his wealth, allowing him to indulge in these luxurious acquisitions. Today, Martins is estimated to have a net worth of over $41 million, solidifying his status as one of Nigeria’s wealthiest footballers. Despite his retirement from professional football, Martins continues to live a life of opulence, often showcasing his high-end vehicles and yacht on social media platforms.
