His supercar collection

Known for his speed and energy as a striker, it’s not surprising that he likes fast cars, judging from his flashy collection. According to British media, his £1.5 million car collection includes a Ferrari LaFerrari, Audi R8 Coupe, Maserati Levante, Range Rover and Bentley Continental GT.

His sleek black LaFerrari, one of only 499 ever made, is estimated to be worth over £1.15 million.

His fancy houses

So where does he live? His new crib is in a four-storey luxury villa complex in Hampstead, England where prices start at US$8 million, per Hankyung. In the documentary Sonsational, he gave a tour of his luxurious yet minimalist home that includes facilities like a swimming pool, fitness room, cinema and more.

For his brief trips back home, he chills at his flat in the Seoul Forest Trimage, famous for its panoramic view of the Han river. He bought the apartment in 2017 for 2.44 billion won, per Hankyung – his neighbours are BTS’ J-Hope and Taeyeon of Girls’ Generation.

His luxury watch collection

Bling on the wrist is a big thing for Son, as he has been seen wearing different Patek Philippe watches as well as a Rolex Yacht Master 1. He’s also the brand ambassador for Tag Heuer and Cartier. When he returned to Korea with the Golden Boot trophy in May, he was seen sporting a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch with a blue dial.

The model is offered for over 300 million won on the secondary market because it has been discontinued, as per Chosun.

In 2019, Tag Heuer released a US$2,500 HMS limited edition watch dedicated to Son: only 777 pieces were made, featuring number 7 motifs from Son’s jersey number, according to Maeil Business News Korea.

According to Korea JoongAng Daily, Son is registered as the executive director with his aunt being the CEO of the brand.

Donations to the community

Famously known for his humility and warmth, Son also gives back to the community – a large share, in fact. He spent US$12 million to build the Son Football Academy in his hometown of Chuncheon where local youths are taught by his father Woong-jung, just as he was trained as a child, as per SoccerGator.

This is only one of Son’s many charitable contributions. In April 2019, he donated £100,000 to help with rescue operations and restoration after one of South Korea’s worst forest fires in Goseong, as reported by British media. He also donated 100 million won to a non-profit organisation for Covid-19 support.
