Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland has spent his fortune on some wild and wonderful things

Erling Haaland has spent some of his colossal Manchester City wages on heartfelt, extravagant and downright bizarre items. There are question marks over the Norwegian goal machine's future after City were found guilty of breaking 114 Premier League financial rules.

City, who continue to vehemently deny any wrongdoing, have appealed against the verdict of an independent commission. If the verdict is upheld, City could be stripped of points and titles and even be kicked out of the Premier League, which would almost certainly mean a new club for Haaland.

There would be a stampede for the signature of arguably the world's best striker, who isn't afraid to throw his money about. Here's a round-up of what the £500,000-per-week star spends his earnings on…

Giving away £100k purchase

Haaland bought a rare 1594 edition of Snorre Sturlason's Royal Sagas for £100,000 (1.3million kroner) at auction, setting a record for the most expensive Norwegian book ever sold, only to then give it away.

After admitting he isn't much of a reader, Haaland immediately donated the historic text to his home municipality of Time, Norway, so locals can read about the region's rich history. He said: "I've been lucky enough to live out my dream through football.

"I know not everyone gets that chance. Books give so many more people the chance to dream big, see new possibilities and find their own path."

The volume chronicles the history of medieval Norse kings, featuring stories of Viking kings, queens, farmers and warriors. Following Haaland's donation, it has been placed on permanent display at Time's local library.

Taxidermy splurge

Haaland made the most of his trip to the World Cup with a Wild West-themed spending spree. Following Norway's 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast, Haaland and his teammates visited Wild Bill's Western Store in Dallas to buy some souvenirs.

The group's shopping trolley contained an array of cowboy boots, western shirts, hip flasks and belts, racking up a bill of $10,000 (about £7,500), which Haaland's generously paid. Speaking on his YouTube Vlog, he joked: "Someone needs to."

Aside from four cowboy hats, Haaland spent $750 (£564) on a stuffed raccoon holding a liquor bottle and $900 (£677) on a pair of stuffed squirrels, including one dressed as a sheriff.

Handbag collection

As he stepped off a plane at the World Cup, raccoon in hand, Haaland had a sizeable bag over his shoulder. He has a range of luxury bags, many of which are supplied by the high-end Hermes brand. The type of bags in his collection don't come cheap, ranging from £8,000 to almost £40,000.

£4m car

In 2025, Haaland splashed out a whopping £4m on a Bugatti Tourbillon. The space-age sports car has an 8.3-litre V16 engine producing more than 1,000 horsepower, plus an electric motor adding 800 horsepower,

It can reach 127mph in just five seconds, with a potential top speed of 277mph. Haaland's friend, billionaire car collector Ole Ertvaag, helped him get his hands on the car, which Bugatti made just 250 of.

Property empire

One of the world's best-paid sportsmen, Haaland has ploughed his immense wealth into real estate across Europe, with properties in England, Spain and Norway. His property portfolio is believed to be worth more £22m in total.

Haaland purchased a home in Spain before his 21st birthday and as his bank balance has swelled, so has his portfolio. His favourite home is said to be a £5m mansion in Marbella, which includes a pool, landscaped gardens and a large underground area.

More recently, Haaland has acquired a plush Man City-themed home in Abu Dhabi. Speaking on a video to launch City's tie-up real estate company Ohana Residences, he said: "Hi everyone, I'm so happy because I’m joining the Manchester City Ohana project. We will be neighbours in Abu Dhabi. I just got a house and so did my father."
