5 of the Most Expensive Celebrity Cars in the World Will Make Your Eyes Water
Celebrities love their cars; it’s no secret that high-dollar A-listers splurge on their rides. However, some famous folks go above and beyond with their car collections. Check out a few of the fabulously opulent wheels belonging to some of the highest-profile owners, like Elon Musk and Jay Leno.
These five head-turning celebrity cars are spectacularly posh
Some stars flex with their homes or jewelry. These stars flex with their rides. Here are five of the wildest cars in stardom.
| Vehicle | Celebrity |
|---|---|
| Lotus Esprit | Elon Musk |
| Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir | Drake |
| Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing | Jay Leno |
| Bugatti Chiron | 50 Cent |
| Pagani Huayra | Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson |
Who owns the 007 Lotus Esprit?
The 1976 Lotus Esprit from the James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me” has a party piece: movie magic transformed “Wet Nellie” into a submarine. Impressive as that might be, it isn’t the car’s only trick– it pulled a disappearing act. Until recently, the Esprit was missing. However, when the car resurfaced at auction in 2013, Elon Musk (yes, that Elon Musk) bought it for £616,000.
Drake’s Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir is a high-dollar celebrity car
Drake, a worldwide rap phenomenon, decided that the Bugatti Veyron wasn’t exclusive enough. Instead, he dropped $1.3 million on a one-of-12 Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir. It’s a serious automotive flex; the Sang Noir channels the style of the larger-than-life Type 57S Atlantic for an exceptionally rare hypercar.
How much is a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing worth?
It’s no secret that Jay Leno loves his cars; he has nearly 300 wheeled toys. However, one of the famous talk show host’s cars is especially drool-worthy: a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. The 300SL Gullwing, famed for its artful lines and raised-to-the-heavens “gullwing” doors, has an average value of around $1.6 million. However, Classic.com reports that the highest sale on record is closer to $2.6 million.
50 Cent’s Bugatti Chiron is a continent-crushing cruise missile
Some younger car enthusiasts might be too young to remember Curtis Jackson III, better known as 50 Cent, regaling viewers with scenes of a Maserati MC12 in the “Window Shopper” music video. However, his automotive tastes speak for themselves; the rap star bought a $3.3-million Bugatti Chiron, one of the last words in hypercar excess.
A celebrity like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson needs a high-profile car
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a presence. The former wrestler turned movie star is all about muscle, and his car has to emulate that fact. While a Ferrari badge might be the first thing to pop into your head, The Rock’s most noteworthy car is arguably his Pagani Huayra, a stunning hypercar with a Mercedes-AMG V12.
