Reality star Kim Kardashian and pop icon Beyoncé are both married to rap stars with epic car collections, but these are independently wealthy women who also like to splash the cash on stylish vehicles.
Kim has an estimated net worth of $350 million; combined with husband Kanye West’s $1.3 billion that makes Kimye one of the richest couples in the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, singer Beyoncé is estimated to be worth $500 million, which along with husband Jay-Z’s $1 billion fortune leaves the Carters with plenty of money to spend on luxuries like cars, including the impressive motors on the list below.
10 Kim Kardashian - Ferrari 458 Italia
Kim Kardashian is generally seen driving in high-end SUVs or classic cars with plenty of room for her growing family, so it was a little out of character when she decided to splash the cash on a custom white Ferrari 458 Italia in 2011.
With the addition of tinted windows – essential to keep out the prying paparazzi – this sporty acquisition is a great ride for Kim when she is out and about without the kids, and with a starting price of $225,000 the Ferrari 458 Italia is still ostentatious enough for the first family of reality TV.
9 Beyoncé - Cadillac Escalade
SUVs are the vehicles of choice for many celebrities; not only do 21st-century models provide all the luxuries and mod cons that stars have come to expect, but they also add a sense of security for famous faces who have to navigate eager fans and persistent photographers.
The Cadillac Escalade is a popular selection among many celebs, including Beyoncé and her family, who actually own two black Escalades. These comfortable but tough vehicles are ideal for getting Mr. and Mrs. Carter and their kids safely around Los Angeles without any difficulties.
8 Kim Kardashian - Mercedes-Benz G550
Beyoncé may have opted for an understated black Escalade when she went SUV shopping, but subtle isn’t a word that you associate with Kim or the rest of the Kardashian family. Kim has two Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUVs, sometimes known as G-Wagons, one with a matte black wrap and the other in more eye-catching neon green.
The green Mercedes-Benz G550 was a gift from Kanye West in 2018 after Kim had initially rented the vehicle to match an outfit she was wearing to a wedding in Miami.
7 Beyoncé - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Vehicles made by German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz have proven to be a big hit with Hollywood celebrities, thanks to their stylish design, luxurious interiors, and, as with the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, their rarity.
Just over 2000 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren cars were made between 2003 and 2010 as a joint venture between Mercedes and British Formula One team McLaren, and Beyoncé is the proud owner of one of those limited edition vehicles. These stylish sports cars are well out of the financial reach of ordinary motorists, with prices starting at $500,000.
6 Kim Kardashian - Rolls-Royce Phantom
Kim Kardashian may seem like your average reality TV star, but the Kardashian family had money long before Keeping Up With the Kardashians made its television debut.
Kim and her sisters grew up used to the finer things in life, so it shouldn’t perhaps come as much of a surprise to see them behind the wheel of sophisticated and ever-so-slightly pretentious cars like Kim’s Rolls-Royce Phantom. She bought her $400,000 (base price) in 2015, and also splashed out on a custom silver paint job and matching rims.
5 Beyoncé - Chrysler Pacifica
It’s all very well for celebrities like Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian to have sports cars and luxury SUVs in their garages, but the two women are also busy moms to seven children between them, and that means having at least a couple of kid-friendly vehicles in their garages too.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have a converted and customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Limousine for family trips, but the former Destiny’s Child singer was also rumored to have bought a very ordinary Chrysler Pacifica when twins Rumi and Sir arrived in 2017.
4 Kim Kardashian - Bentley Continental GT
Kim Kardashian does seem to have a penchant for high-end classic British vehicles. As well as her two Rolls-Royce vehicles, the reality star turned entrepreneur also owns a Bentley Continental GT.
The black convertible is perfect for driving around in the gorgeous California sunshine, and Kim has made her Bentley a little sportier with the addition of a custom body kit by Platinum Motorsports and some eye-catching red rims. The car had only been on the road for a couple of weeks when it was involved in a fender bender in 2012, resulting in some expensive repairs.
3 Beyoncé - Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The SLR McLaren isn’t the only Mercedes-Benz sports car in Beyonce’s garage; the Single Ladies singer also owns a very stylish Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In fact, she and husband Jay-Z have a pair of matching S-Class cars, and he even made an appearance in the video for his 2001 track, Izzo.
The S-Class may not be the most luxurious Mercedes on the market, but it is a dependable and attractive coupe, and the cars are great fun to drive, accelerating from 0 to 60mph in 4.6 seconds.
2 Kim Kardashian - Range Rover HSE
Continuing the British theme, Kim Kardashian is a huge fan of Range Rover vehicles, obviously opting for high-end models like the Range Rover HSE, or High Standard Equipment, rather than the more functional original Land Rovers which would be more at home on the farm than in Calabasas!
In fact, the whole Kardashian family loves Range Rovers. Khloe has Range Rover wrapped in black velvet, momager Kris Jenner sold her customized model in 2018 and youngest sister Kylie Jenner bought herself a white Range Rover Autobiography in 2019.
1 Beyoncé - 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II
It must be tough for Kanye West and Jay-Z when it comes to birthdays and Christmas. After all, what do you buy the women who have everything? It seems that Beyoncé prefers classic cars to diamond necklaces or designer dresses, as she adored her 25th birthday gift from then-fiancé Jay-Z; a Rolls-Royce 1959 Silver Cloud II convertible limousine.
This stunning vintage vehicle had been completely renovated ready for its new owner, and it seems that Beyoncé was instantly Crazy In Love with the very special gift.
