10 Chris Brown – Bugatti Veyron
The American musician was one of the first celebrities to acquire the Bugatti Veyron, a car billed as the ultimate hypercar when it first debuted in 2004. Even today, the car still sits proudly among hypercar royalty. The standard Veyron boasts a thousand horsepower and will blast to 60mph in less than 3 seconds. It is also one of the fastest production cars with an electronically limited top speed of 253mph. Chris Brown’s Veyron has a contrasting black and red color combination – a not-so-subtle paintwork that’s sure to stand out in public.
9 Justin Bieber – Lamborghini Aventador S
The 26-year old musician is reportedly worth about $280million; a financial fortune that allows him to purchase pretty much any car that pleases him. In July 2018, he took delivery of a flagship Lamborghini Aventador S. The car is a much-improved version of the standard Aventador with more refined handling and ride comfort. The V12 powerplant packs a hefty 740 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque. That mix should come in handy whenever Justin needs to escape the paparazzi that shadow his every step.
8 Jerry Seinfield – 1949 Porsche 356/2 "Gmund"
Jerry Seinfield is one of the richest American entertainers with an enviable Porsche collection that any gearhead will drool over. His collection includes the incredible 918 Spyder but the stand-out car in the collection has to be the 1949 Porsche 356/2 Gmund. The Gmund was Porsche’s first production automobile and only 52 units were ever produced – 30 remain in existence today. Jerry’s car is number 40 of 52 and was once owned by a member of the Porsche family; talk about some rich history in the garage.
7 Floyd Mayweather – Rolls Royce Phantom VIII
In 2015, Floyd Mayweather pocketed a down payment of $100 million for a 36-minute fight with Manny Pacquiao. Incredible as it may sound, that paycheck only represents a fraction of the retired boxer’s fortune; a fortune that allows him to maintain a fleet of over 50 top-of-the-line vehicles. One of his more recent purchases is the eight generation Rolls Royce Phantom, arguably the most luxurious sedan today. Here’s some context – the Phantom packs almost 300 pounds of sound insulating materials, ensuring that the occupants can enjoy their ride in complete silence, despite the twin-turbo V12 engine under the hood.
6 Lewis Hamilton – Pagani Zonda LH
The Formula One Champion has a car collection that includes a McLaren P1 and a LaFerrari but the craziest has to be the custom Pagani Zonda 760 LH. The car was the second in the 760 series and is finished in a striking purple shade well complemented by gloss carbon-fiber accents. The Zonda is powered by a monster 7.3-liter V12 that produces 760hp. Lewis once famously described the car as being ‘terrible to drive’. However, he also stated that it’s the best-sounding car in his collection – we reckon that’s a good enough reason to keep it in the collection.
5 Cristiano Ronaldo – McLaren Senna
Cristiano dazzles on the football field with his incredible skills and deft touches of the ball. Off the field, he continues to impress with an impressive car collection most people can only dream of. His collection includes a Bugatti Chiron but the most extreme car he owns is the hardcore McLaren Senna; a car that’s so track-focused, it’s hard to understand why it’s road legal. Cristiano took delivery of his McLaren hypercar in May 2019 and was soon spotted cruising around with the car in Lisbon, Portugal.
4 Kylie Jenner – Ferrari LaFerrari
The youngest of the Kardashian sisters. Kylie is well-known for her love for flashy automobiles. She also sits at the head of a company that’s valued at nearly a billion dollars. That means she isn’t exactly short of resources to indulge in such an expensive habit. One of the most expensive cars in her collection is this Ferrari LaFerrari, a limited edition hypercar that incidentally, was a gift from her ex-boyfriend. According to reports, the car was purchased for about $1.4million. What makes this particular one even more exclusive is the all-black paint.
3 Ralph Lauren – McLaren F1 LM
The fashion magnate has an exquisite taste in automobiles and this ultra-rare McLaren F1 LM is proof of that. The ‘standard’ McLaren F1 debuted as an apex hypercar in 1992 but then the LM variant took things a step further. The LM cars were essentially FI GTR racecars modified for road use. There only five of them made, each finished with the same shade of papaya orange. They were also the most powerful variant, with almost 700hp at their disposal. Ralph Lauren’s unit is the third one built and currently occupies a special pedestal in his collection.
2 Jay Leno – GM Ecojet
The Ecojet is a one-off car; the result of a special collaboration between Jay Leno and General Motors. The car was first displayed at the 2015 SEMA show and it did generate considerable attention with its extreme Cadillac-based bodywork. A unique element of the car is the fact that it’s jet-powered; under the hood lies a fully functional gas turbine that runs solely on eco-friendly biodiesel. That combination gives 650hp and 583 pound-feet of torque. Here he’s pictured talking about the car with renowned American astrophysicist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
1 Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’ – Custom Ford F-150
The Rock regards the Ford F-150 as one of his favorite cars mainly because it’s one of the few cars that can easily accommodate his almost 2-meter, heavily muscled frame. It is also worth mentioning that he is also an official Ford ambassador even though his Ford F-150 is anything but stock. The pickup has a host of extra features that include a custom lift system, black matte grill, 5-inch dual exhaust set-up, and an upgraded sound system.
