Cristiano Ronaldo missed the first day of pre-season Monday as he was seen riding out in Portugal with a marvelous Rolls Royce Cullinan.
The story

Seeing what Ronaldo sees in the ride
Seeing a global superstar driving himself around in an overly luxuriant car makes for some viewing pleasure. Rich people who own these cars are generally chauffered, but Ronaldo seemingly prefers being behind the wheel as the point isn't always to get from point A to B but to also enjoy the driving experience.
The Cullinan is named after a precious diamond original found in South Africa and the model is renowned for its luxury off-road qualities, a rather rare thing when it comes to high-end vehicles.
Having mentioned that this car usually has a designated driver, its interior features really demonstrate the fact as it is said to have a rear and front cabin which can be separated by an electrochromic glass that switches from transparent to opaque at a touch of a button, per Rolls Royce North Houston.
The car also boasts some convenient indoor entertainment features including lead-crystal champagne flutes, allowing a world of unparalleled opulence inside the SUV. Its starting price is said to be around $335 350 (R5.3 million), although the car is understood to be slightly more expensive than that in Mzansi.
