Ride Me!
If You Love Money, You'll Love This Car

We didn't really know what a Kimi Räikkönen is -- or how the hell to pronounce that last name -- but apparently he's a Formula One driver we happened to shoot in London yesterday ... and he's loaded beyond belief!!!

Kimi Raikkonen: Click to watch
The speed racer raked in $44 million last year and is the 4th highest paid sportsman on the planet -- but the exuberance doesn't stop there.

Also worth millions: That sweet, white, old school Ferrari California parked in front of Kimi's sweet, metallic, new school Ferrari.

17. Now, shocking as it may seem that Americans in general are deprived of F1, it's even more amazing that they allow themselves to miss out on the sheer hotness that is Kimi... But it is practically a law in the US that you mustn't be interested in a particular sport unless the US are extremely good at it. And there aren't any (well not any well known) Americans in F1. Americans take this law so seriously, that when they host world cups, they don't necessarily invite other nations. :)

18. He is a bad ass and he is worth every cent he makes. He grew up in shack in Finland with his parents and his brother that didn't even have indoor plumbing. I also doubt he owns any of those cars. He drives for the Ferrari F1 team so he was probably just at some mandatory PR event and had to drive them. He's pretty tight with his money, he doesn't even onw a boat whereas most other F1 drivers have $20 MM yachts...

19. Seriously you do not know who Kimi Räikkönen is? Formula 1 is an incredible sport and a million times better than Nascar. After all, the Formula 1 drivers have to do a lot more than just go fast and turn left as in Nascar. Heres a few other names for your files TMZ when you come across one of the other highly skilled Formula 1 driviers so you dont sound so uninformed:
Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Sebastian Vettel, Jarno Trulli, Timo Glock, Mark Webber, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Nick Heidfeld, Heikki Kovalainen, Nico Rosberg, Sebastien Buemi, Sebastien Bourdais, Felipe Massa, Adrian Sutil, Nelsinho Piquet, Giancarlo Fisichella, Kazuki Nakajima, Robert Kubica.

Theres a great big world out there TMZ - go explore it.

25. Kimi may be a good driver but I cannot stand to hear him do an interview. He has the personality of a slug. I love me some Heikki Kovalainen. He is such a nice guy. By the way, I'm American but I was introduced to F1 by my English hubby. I love it!

27. To #16: yeah...a pretty average suburb in Southern Finland sure qualifies as "shack without indoor plumbing". Jesus Christ, talk about getting one's facts straight...

28. I don`t get how people are saying, "Ohhhh you don't know who this is? Blah Blah Blah," If you aren't into sports and don't follow racing, how would you know who it is? Or why would you care who it is? It's silly - calling others down for not knowing who someone is, that they obviously have no interest in, or say because they are American that they have no idea about anyone in sports outside of the U.S.

I'm not from the U.S. and I am not interested in any sports or race driving and I don't know this guy. So does that make me an ignorant American? No... I didn't think so.

Also the car is fugly, in my opinion, no matter how much it costs. It is just a car and it's not very nice looking.

29. Kimmy is a nice dude and F1 driver... but no one will be better than the great Ayrton Senna....not even Michael Schummacher who was a wonderful F1 driver too
