A new Porsche every day, a helicopter every week and his own private island… five amazing things Carlos Tevez can buy with his new wages

Former Prem star is on his way to the Chinese Super League to become the world’s best paid footballer on £615,000 a week

CARLOS TEVEZ is to become the world’s highest paid footballer when he moves to the Chinese Super League.

The former Manchester City and United star is going to Shanghai Shenhua on an eye-popping £615,000-a-week deal.

That works out at just over £1 a SECOND for his work – and almost £32million a year.

With all that wealth there are few things on earth he would be unable to afford.

Here we look at five of the best things he could splash all that cash on.

Tevez could buy a Porsche Carrera 911 4 every day and still have loads of cash to fill it up

He was fond of a white Porsche and, of course, a white Range Rover when he played in England.

Now Tevez can buy a new Porsche every day.

The 911 Carrera 4 has a top speed of 180mph and starting price of £81,398.

But if he wants something a bit more down to earth he could get a Porsche 718 Cayman, which has a top speed of 170mph.

In fact, with a starting price of £39,878, he could get two a day.

His own private island

If it gets too much in China, Tevez could buy his own island in Belize and move there.

At £2.3m, he could buy it with one month’s wages and still have more than £100,000 in change.

The island, called Little Harvest Cave, features its own luxury home with a swimming pool and pontoon out to boats.

An 18-carat gold Rolex

This top of the range watch retails at £30,800.

But with more than £87,000 coming in every day, Tevez could purchase two a day and still have lots to spare.

A helicopter

If he gets bored of cruising around in his Porsches, Tevez could always just buy a helicopter.

This Robinson R66 Turbine is currently for sale at £475,000.

That’s not a problem for Tevez on his wage. He’d still have £140,000 left over for the week even after snapping up the ‘copter.

A £12.6million, 70-bedroom castle

Even Tevez would have to save up a bit for this one – but just six months’ work would be enough to afford this incredible property.

The castle has 70 rooms, dates back to 1345 and comes with 70,000 square metres of land.

One issue is it is in Italy – but Tevez previously played for Juventus there so he doesn’t mind the country.
