10. Parking Fines
https://twitter.com/FinallyMario/status/440060195545559040 We all know footballers have more money than sense, but Balotelli seems to know it and just accept it. In 2011, during his time at Manchester City, the then 20-year-old reportedly racked up an astonishing £10,000 worth of parking fines, and had his white Maserati impounded a ridiculous 27 times. According to the Sun, a club insider confirmed Balotelli's lack of care about receiving the fines: "Mario will drive from his luxury apartment to a restaurant a few streets away and leave the car on double yellows. The other week the Maserati misfired so he just abandoned it. Staff have had to bail it out 27 times.'"The valet the club uses empties the glovebox of tickets every time he cleans it. Mario doesn't seem to care. It's a drop in the ocean to him." On the topics of fines, the Italian also reportedly accumulated £300,00 worth of them at one point in his City career, for various misdemeanours, some of which you will read about later. He was also once stopped by police with £25,000 in his car, and having been asked why he had that amount with him he simply replied, 'Because I can.' At least he's honest. None of that stops him using his phone while driving, as proven above.
