With bank accounts that look more like phone numbers, celebrities are expected to have a classy taste for everything. But while a lot of celebrities are cashing out on expensive Bugattis, helicopters, and gold wrap to prove their stardom, some invest their money in a set of less flashy wheels - like a pickup truck.
These bulky four-wheelers were once tied to the concept of simple living, hard labor, and had a far reputation from what they're known for now. But today, even elite celebs are loving pickups for their majestic stance, versatility, and off-road capabilities. Here are just some of the celebs who decided to ditch their elite status and drive American and Japanese pickups instead.
10 American - Charlie Daniels' Dodge Ram 1500

So how did he end up with one of the fastest pickups? Charlie said in an interview that he liked the RAM because it was a man's pickup. But we love it more for being one of the most powerful RAM trucks ever. Charlie also loves that it's spacious and can carry all the stuff that he needs on his trips. Though he does like it, Charlie gives the 2016 Dodge RAM a 9 out of 10 stars rating.
9 American - Kid Rock's GMC Sierra
The name Kid Rock is a versatile icon in the music industry.

But aside from his music career, Robert James Ritchie also has a passion for both motorcycles and cars.
Kid Rock is a known fan of Chevy cars. But he was once gifted by Rocky Ridge Trucks, an automobile customization shop located in Georgia, with a modified GMC Sierra 1500.

But under all that makeup and lavish costumes, who would have known that Stefani Joanne Angelina actually likes driving modest cars.

7 American - Shaquille O'Neal's Ford F650 Extreme
Most supercars, sports cars, and hypercars in the market may come with crazy speeds and even crazier styling. But they often share that one defect that prevents most tall people from buying them—cramped cabin space. That's why for sports analyst and retired basketball player, Shaquille O'Neal, a pickup just had to be in his garage.
His choice of pickup is the Ford F-650 Extreme that he got from Georgia. It comes will the features present in a regular Ford F-250. Shaquille was believed to have spent $109,750 on this truck.

4 Japanese - Christian Bale's Toyota Tacoma
Celebs make money out of fame and stardom. But there are cases when they just want to live like the rest of us. This may be what the Batman actor was going for whenever he decides to ride this Toyota Tacoma when going out.
For a guy with over $120 million in net worth, people would imagine Christian to be driving around in a Tesla or a Maybach. But even after his roles as billionaire and superhero, Bruce Wayne, Christian has been spotted numerous times driving this typical man's pickup.
3 Japanese - Kristen Stewart's Toyota T100
Kristen Stewart is one of the many icons that became a part of every growing teen's childhood in the early 2000s.

But contrary to her net worth, Kristen actually drives an old, beaten Toyota pickup.
The old Toyota T100 she was seen driving countless times was a model manufactured between 1992 and 1998. A lot of people never even heard of this, while some think that Toyota just regrets making this model. Whichever it is, Kristen seems to really like this Toyota pickup.

Rut has had a good experience of being in the splash zone in some of the world's coolest races so it's no wonder he also wanted a racing rig of his own.
But as opposed to most racing car choices, he got himself a 2016 TRD PRO RCSB Toyota Tundra. Originally built and intended for the SEMA, this bad boy comes equipped with a Wilwood brake kit, Magnuson Supercharger and TRD Forged 22-inch wheels.
1 Japanese - Sean Penn's Nissan Titan

Not only that, but his Titan also had multiple dents so it's safe to assume that this guy definitely doesn't need materialistic things to let everyone know just how rich he is. Aside from that, Sean also has a 1968 Shelby GT500.
