KHAMA BILLIAT has joined a group of football stars — including Argentine ace Sergio Aguero — who have splashed their cash on a Range Rover Sport Lumma CLR RS, after the Warriors ace added the SUV to his fleet this week.

However, the car, worth around R2 549 950 (about US$170 660), has divided opinion on Twitter, with some praising Billiat for his latest acquisition.

Others have been arguing the Kaizer Chiefs star should be investing in property which could provide him with regular income when his career comes to an end.

Billiat turns 29 in three weeks’ time and is in the second year of a three-year contract, with the option of an extension for a further year, which made him the highest-paid footballer in the South African Premiership.

He has been linked with a possible return to his old club, Mamelodi Sundowns, but the Amakhosi hierarchy has been insisting Billiat will stay at Chiefs.

His decision to splash over R2.5 million on a 2019 Ranger Rover Sport Lumma CLR RS has sparked debate with one group saying footballers like Billiat should, at this phase of their career, be preparing for life after football and that demands investing in portfolios like property.

Others, though, say he has a right to live his life in the fast lane.
This means he will be driving the same car as England defender Harry Maguire, who completed a world record £80 million, the biggest transfer involving a defender in the history of the game, when he moved from Leicester City to Manchester United this week.State media
