Every time an artist gets their much-awaited breakthrough in their respective industry, the first thing that comes to their mind is to spend on things they’ve always wanted. This includes throwing some of that cash in the air and securing a nice place to live in, and also, of course, opt for nicer cars to fill up that new garage.
While we may opt for a Mercedes or a BMW as soon as our pockets fill up, the celebrities mentioned below have an entire list of cars they want to own (and do own). It’s not about the car they need, but about the car they want, and naturally they seem to want a lot of cars in their garage on standby, parked and ready to be driven according to their owner’s mood.
David Beckham
Our favorite footballer’s car collection does not compare to that of Jay Leno’s, but he definitely has an exquisite fleet of 20 cars, each more gorgeous than the other. But the one that has caught our attention is the fully customized Ferrari 612 Scaglietti worth over $265,000.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The footballing maestro has also splurged a good amount of money getting some of the nicest rides in town. The one that specifically caught our attention is the limited edition Ferrari laFerrari.
This car is special because barely 499 units of it have ever been manufactured, and Ronaldo is a proud owner of one of them. However, he did have to pay about $1.3 million to become its owner, so only a handful of people can match that level.
Nicholas Cage
The Ghost Rider actor is a proud owner of a classic red Ferrari Enzo, a car which can make anyone swoon over it for hours.
It cost Cage around a whopping $670,000, but the choice of car seems rather unconventional for an avid car collector since it was dubbed as the ugliest car to have ever been made in the past 5 decades.
Missy Elliot
Missy’s car collection is surely to die for, as it includes an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and a Rolls Royce Phantom.
But the one that puts them all to shame is the matte white Lamborghini Aventador. At nearly $376,000, this white beauty surely stands out among other cars on the street.
Jerry Seinfeld
Life has definitely been kind to some comedians and blessed them seemingly limitlessly. Jerry is one of them, and to do justice to his hard-earned fortune, he has invested millions in some of the prettiest and most luxurious cars we have ever seen.
Being a Porsche lover, he owns around 50 of them, but the best among them is the rare 1986 white Porsche 959. This vintage sports car cost Jerry Seinfeld around $700,000, which is worth more than a 4-bedroom house in New Jersey.
Jay Leno
And while we are on the subject of rich comedians who are also avid car collectors, how can we forget Jay Leno. It wouldn’t be wrong to call him the King of car collectors, with around 300+ vehicles (cars and bikes) stacked in his mighty garage.
Among his collection, one of his favorites (and our favorite as well) is the 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe worth $1.8 million. Jay treats his cars like if they were his babies, and takes keen interest in restoring old cars, just like he has done with this Mercedes.
Jay Z and Beyoncé
This super-powerful duo is not only ruling the music industry but also in fact spending their millions on some of the most sought-after cars in the world, but the ones that have caught our attention though are Beyoncé’s vintage white Rolls Royce silver Cloud II and Jay Z’s Maybach Exelero.
The former was a gift from Jay Z to the Queen B on her 25th birthday, and the latter he bought for himself which cost Jay Z somewhat around $8 million. The Maybach is a 2-seater beauty which has the potential to go up to 200 miles an hour, which is definitely any car lover’s dream come true.
