With an illustrious career spanning years, Eben Etzebeth has quickly become one of the most celebrated rugby stars in the world, thanks to his big wins with the Springboks.
Despite being one of the most followed rugby stars, he has managed to keep his private under wraps, leaving many to guess.
EBEN ETZEBETH SHOWS OFF R2.5 MILLION MERCEDES-BENZ
However, he has let Mzansi have a sneak peek of his life thanks to his social media posts. Thanks to his huge following, he often trends whenever he posts or gets posted.
Eben Etzebeth is trending because of his recent Instagram post. The Boks star set social media abuzz after he shared a photo of himself standing next to what looks like a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450.
The photo of the car has since gained thousands of comments and reactions since it dropped online.
Petrolheads quickly praised the car, while others included its price tag. Prices of GLSs tend to differ depending on the year of manufacture, trims, and models.
However, a Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 has a base price tag of R2.5 million in several authorised dealerships in South Africa.
Like those before him, he has made headlines thanks to his ambassadorial gigs with Mercedes-Benz SA. Eben Etzebeth is one of the German automobile company’s celebrated ‘Friends of the brand.’
Other celebrities who are ‘Friends of the brand’ include Springbok captain Siya Kolisi. However, his partnership with the automobile company has seen him drive around in some of the flashiest Mercs.
Last year, the Springbok star hogged headlines when he shared photos of a Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 S E Performance on Instagram.
The car is an absolute beast, one of the most sought-after C-Classes, and boasts several outstanding specs. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.4 seconds.
OTHER CARS
In addition to the GLS 450, Eben Etzebeth has been spotted driving around in a V8-powered GLS 63, which is appropriate for the player who measures over 2 metres in height.
The car’s base price tag is R4.2 million in several dealerships nationwide.
However, after South Africa’s Rugby World Cup triumph, the star was gifted a Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 D. His wife reportedly owns the latest GLC 300 D model.
