Many of the world’s stars have the most impressive car collections of all, not only expensive but also rare and hard to find.
Many famous people own car collections up to millions, hundreds of millions of dollars
Gordon Ramsay
If comedian Jay Leno didn’t buy a Ferrari out of fear of its dealers, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, one of the Master Chef judges, didn’t hesitate.
Ramsay owns a garage full of “prancing horses”: Monza SP2 (pictured), LaFerrari Aperta, 550 Maranello and many others
In addition, he also has a Ford GT, Porsche 918 Spyder and Land Rover Defender 110 SVX ‘Spectre’ JB24 used in the James Bond movie “Spectre” (pictured)
He is also quite fond of convertibles. In addition to Monza SP2, Ramsay also has BAC Mono inspired by F1 racing cars, accelerating from 0-100 km / h in just 2.8 seconds
Kanye West
American rapper, ex-husband of Kim Kardashian, owns a collection of cars as unpredictable as his personality.
From a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 FBG Par Hermès in cooperation with fashion house Hermès in Paris…
… to a Ukrainian “off-road monster” pickup called Sherp that has the ability to “swim” –
He also owns rare performance cars like the Mercedes-Mclaren SLR Sterling Moss
But the strangest is probably the two Dartz Prombron Red Diamond Edition cars, giant bulletproof SUVs. Priced at $1.2 million each, they have gilded windows, military tires, a white gold instrument cluster with rubies accents
Lewis Hamilton
As one of the highest paid racers, it’s not surprising that Lewis Hamilton has an impressive car collection totaling around $15 million.
Mostly supercars, one of the most high-end is the custom Pagani Zonda with the model name coinciding with his own initials, the 760 LH. But he doesn’t seem to like Zonda much when calling the car “terrible”. Maybe that’s why he sold it for up to 4 million USD
Some other impressive cars in the collection include Ferrari LaFerrari (pictured), Mercedes-AMG Project One inspired by F1 technology
The most expensive is the 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra, worth about $4 million, because it’s so rare and has a legendary status in the auto industry. It was famous racer Carroll Shelby who confirmed Hamilton’s car was original
So many terrible goods, but when commuting every day, Hamilton drives an unexpected car: the “tiny” electric Smart Fortwo
Lionel Messi
Not only is one of the greatest players of all time, Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi also has one of the greatest car collections compared to most other athletes.
With an annual salary of approximately $75 million, Messi has more than enough money to spend on the most expensive items, but he is a connoisseur of classics.
The most valuable car in Messi’s garage is a 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, worth up to $ 36 million
He also owns a number of “less expensive” Ferraris including an F430 Spider (pictured) and a trio of high-end Audis as a daily car
Like Lewis Hamilton, Messi also owns a Zonda Tricolore worth more than $2 million. But apparently he has not registered the car so he has never driven on public roads. It is not clear if the car is allowed to drive on a civil road in his hometown
When not interested in collecting classic and contemporary cars, one can see Messi sitting in one of the luxury SUVs: Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe
Justin Bieber
Canadian pop star Justin Bieber rose to fame at a very young age and soon became a major car collector as well. The car collection is estimated to be worth more than $4 million, a fraction of his $285 million net worth.
Justin Bieber is said to have been blacklisted by Ferrari when he lost his 458 Italia (the blue one pictured) after a drunken night in Beverly Hills. He also “violated” the Italian car company when he modified the 458 Italia and F430
But if the blacklist is real, Bieber doesn’t have to worry because his garage is full of other expensive cars: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport (pictured), custom Rolls-Royce
Strangely, he also owns a Smart Fortwo
Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren is one of the greatest fashion designers in history. But if not every shirt he designed can be worn, his garage is certainly full of cars that are considered works of art.
Many of his cars are so rare that it is difficult to estimate their value. However, it is certain that the car collection is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as the 250 GTO alone fetched around $70 million based on previous auction results.
The “gems” in the garage can be mentioned: Bugatti 57SC Atlantic Coupe (1 of 3 remaining in the world, photo above ), Ferrari 250 GTO (once the most expensive car ever sold), Mercedes- Benz SSK “Count Trossi” (only 40 units ever produced, photo )
In addition, Lauren also owns many other super rare cars, such as Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Spyder (pictured), Ferrari 375 Plus, Lamborghini Reventón…
Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers on the planet. With a career spanning nearly 25 years, he writes so many lyrics that he has to Google it to make sure he doesn’t duplicate himself! However, he should have no trouble remembering what’s in the garage, as he owns some of the world’s most coveted performance cars.
One of the highlights of the car collection is the Bugatti Veyron. He identifies himself as “Barack Obama of Bugatti”, because he is the first black rapper to buy a car of this brand – Photo: The Supercar Blog
Whether it’s true or just bragging, Wayne is definitely one of the car trendsetters in rap music. He is also Maybach’s first black rapper client, the desire of all famous rappers, from Jay-Z to Birdman – Photo: Autoevolution
In recent years, Wayne has continued to add to his collection a $400,000 McLaren 720S.
