If you had a net worth of a few billion dollars, how would you splash the cash?

That is the question NBA legend Michael Jordan keeps answering for us.

The former professional basketball player's most recent purchase is a one-of-a-kind hypercar.

The silver and blue Pininfarina Battista Targamerica is decked out with a tan interior, and even features an aluminum cigar holder and humidor between the front seats.

Pininfarina says the engine can generate around 1,900 horsepower - almost double that of a modern-day Formula 1 car. Its top speed is a speedy 217 mph, while the vehicle can snap from 0 to 62 mph run in just 1.86 seconds.

It's a one-of-a-kind whip, meaning no one else in the world can own the same vehicle.

Earlier this week, luxury car company Automobili Pininfarina took to social media to share a photo of their legendary client and his new toy.

They wrote: "Today, we celebrate a truly special moment—the delivery of a bespoke, coach-built Battista, crafted in Italy with passion for a dear friend.

"This one-off masterpiece embodies the pinnacle of design and engineering excellence, the result of a remarkable journey shared together. We are grateful to have brought this unique vision to life."

With an enormous net worth, estimated by Forbes to stand at $3.5bn, this incredible hypercar is just a drop in the ocean for Jordan.

Despite its staggering price tag, the Pininfarina Battista Targamerica isn't the most expensive of Michael's cars.

That honor goes to his a $3.5 million 30 Venom F5 Roadster His Airness, which he secured last year.

The sport star recently made another extravagant purchase too.

Michael coughed up a huge $70,000,000 for his own private jet, forking out a further $500,000 on a custom paint job.

The Gulfstream 650ER private jet is 100 feet long and can carry 19 passengers as well as four crew members on board.

The 650ER is also known for its speed and, according to its website, it holds the record for the farthest fastest flight in business aviation history.

The jet boasts luxury interior, leather seating, a fully-stocked bar and - arguably the best feature of the lot - a private bedroom.

The additional extras Michael has paid out for include getting the jet custom paint wrapped with a black and silver elephant theme that also pays homage to his trademark sneakers.

The iconic Jumpman logo, Michael Jordan's collaboration with Nike, is also featured on the tail of the plane in white.
