YouTuber Buys Marcus Rashford's $885K Wrecked Rolls Royce, Seems Shocked Over Replacement Part Prices

Is your Dodge RAM in the shop waiting for a $1,000 part? Count your blessings. A YouTuber is now in possession of a wrecked $885,000 Rolls Royce Wraith that originally belonged to Marcus Rashford who plays for Manchester United. 

According to the Daily Mail, YouTuber Mat Armstrong paid around $233,000 for the destroyed Rolls that features car mats that cost like $4,000 – EACH. Rashford, who made just over $13 million (USD in 2023) wrecked the car back in September after putting 1,000 miles on the odometer. 

Now Armstrong (2.55M YouTube subscribers) is the new owner and from what we can tell here, the car was bought as a digital content investment. The rehab of the car will be turned into a content series. The content series will turn into hours upon hours of video content that will be posted to YouTube, the views will equal ad dollars, and at the end of it all, Armstrong can liquidate the car – and turn the sale into even more content. 

Why does OutKick care about this story?

Because it is our job to show readers what athletes are spending their millions on. Rashford, 26, has career earnings of about $82,000,000. The Daily Mail reports that he also owns two other high-dollar Rolls Royce cars, including a $700,000 Cullinan Blue Shadow, while also housing a $442k Lamborghini Urus Performante and a $350k McLaren 765 Long Tail in the garage. 

The world needs Rashfords and Armstrongs to balance out things. We need rich people who was willing to buy insane cars that will create jealousy amongst rich people so even cooler cars, boats, planes, and spacecrafts are created.

And then we need guys like Armstrong who is willing to invest hundreds of thousands into a project like this rebuild.

"Matt out does himself every build...one of the very few who still rebuild cars in house...respect for having the balls to take on such a project," a YouTube viewer wrote on Armstrong's video page. 

As an added bonus here, if you watched the video above, you'd know that Mat's dad is a breakout star. He just laughs as his son tries to figure out a way to make this rebuild work. 

This isn't the typical content I'd seek out on YouTube, but once you add Mat's dad into the equation, we might have ourselves a winning YouTube series in the making. 

"My 93 yr old father and I love watching your video's Mat and this one is going to be a blinder, looking forward to this series," writes another viewer. 

The world is ready for this content. Now it's up to Mat to figure out the rest.
