In a move that would only be bested by Alex Rodriguez's sadly fictional painting of himself as a centaur, soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has shelled out $43,000 for a statue of himself, according to The Telegraph.
The waxwork is modeled after the one that Ronaldo already pays an obscene amount of money to keep meticulously groomed while it's on display at the Madrid Wax Museum. The Real Madrid player commissioned the same sculptor who is responsible for his original statue. "We still had the mold that we'd used to sculpt him in 2013, so this copy was a complete duplicate," the statue's sculptor Michael Wade told The Sun, according to The Telegraph. "And Ronaldo sent us a football kit and his latest boots to make it up to date. We left the hair alone, because that's exactly how he wanted it."
Ronaldo once again dispatched his hairdresser to make sure every detail was perfect. "We put all the hair in, one at a time and then, in Madrid, his hairdresser came along to cut it," Wade said.
Not only does Ronaldo have two statues of himself in the world, there's also a teen spending thousands to imitate everything about the soccer star.
