Pierce Brosnan – Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, $230K
We all know Pierce Brosnan from his role in the James Bond series, especially from his fourth movie in 2002 when he drove the famous Aston Martin V12 Vanquish on screen. By the end of filming, Brosnan had already fallen in love with the ride. He requested to keep it, but Aston Martin was having none of it.
While Brosnan eventually got to keep the automobile, the joy didn't last long, as a house fire at his Malibu home in 2015 burned the Vanquish to a crisp, and all he has as a reminder of the beautiful ride today are the memories and the two plaques and eight bolts.
Jamie Lee Curtis – Honda FCX Clarity, $21.6K
Former Scream Queen turned children's author, and environmental activist Jamie Lee Curtis is well known for her role as Lt. Barbara Duran in the sitcom "Operation Petticoat." That was back in the late '70s when she was kickstarting her career, and she indeed went on to become a successful actress.
Curtis leads a modest and private life, with a luxury home and automobiles to satisfy her love for luxury. In 2008, she was the talk of the town when she became only the second owner of a Honda FCX Clarity, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle that was being leased to 200 people for three years.
O.J. Simpson – Convertible Bentley Continental, $241.5K
O.J. Simpson is one of the most famous American football running backs in history. He is also a man who divides opinion, and while some people dislike him, it is difficult to ignore his rags-to-riches story. The riches transformed his life, and he has everything to show it off, including a sizeable automobile collection.
One of his favorite rides that he loves to flaunt around is the flashy convertible Bentley Continental, which can hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds. The car pays homage to his 1988 Bentley Mulsanne and supports the notion that he is a Bentley lover.
Warren Beatty – BMW Z8, $128K
Warren Beatty has been on the screen for over six decades. During this time, he has contributed to the film industry in numerous ways and even set records, including becoming the first person to be nominated for acting in directing, writing, and producing the same film.
Although he has always been known as a notorious playboy, he also came with an unmatched sense of style and luxury, which is evident in his car collection, which includes a fancy BMW Z8 that cost him $128K. It is worth the money, though, as it can hit 60 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds!
Bruce Springsteen – Range Rover, $93.3K
Bruce Springsteen has recorded 20 studio albums with his backing band, the E Street Band. These have proven to be more than enough to cement his place in the hearts of his fans and earn him a sizeable fortune. Just as it is for most celebrities, luxury is essential for Springsteen, and his car collection tells the whole story.
Springsteen has always made public his love for English imports, but it's interesting to see that he doesn't have many of those. The major highlight of his garage is his all-black 2009 Range Rover with an acceleration of 60 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds.
Steven Tyler – Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, $1.1 Million
Rock and roll legend Steven Tyler is well known as the lead singer for the band Aerosmith. He has also been known for his knack for the unique and out-of-this-world, from his eccentric dress code to how he performs, so it was no surprise to his fans when he unveiled his stunning Hennessey Venom GT Spyder to the world.
The 1200-horsepower automobile is one of only 12 to be manufactured, and it was definitely worth the $1.1 million he spent on it. In 2017, it was auctioned for $800k at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, and the money went to a charitable cause.
Barbra Streisand – Ford Explorer, Price Undisclosed
Brabra Streisand has been behind the scenes for over six decades, and she has definitely done her long-standing career justice by establishing herself as one of the best singers and actresses of her time. It's no surprise that she is among the few to receive all of the Emmy, Grammy, Tony, and Oscar Awards.
One thing that stands out about Streisand is her impressive favorite car, a Ford Explorer. Not only that, but he didn't know how to drive it and failed her driving test three times before finally renewing her license. But at least she owns such a stylish ride.
Jon Voight – Lexus RX 350, $47.3K
It's one thing to be the father of such a successful artist as Angelina Jolie and another to be a Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning actor. Well, Jon Voight might just be the luckiest person on earth, as he is both of those things, and seeing him in a luxury car is not a surprise.
One of Voight's most treasured assets has got to be the Lexus RX 350, which he bought in 2013 for a price that could reportedly be as high as $47.35K. The hybrid ride seems to be his lucky charm, as he also landed the role of Mickey Donovan in the series "Ray Donovan" that year.
Sharon Stone – Bentley Continental GTC, $200K
We all know Sharon Stone for her roles in various mystery films and series. However, contrary to her television personality, she leads quite a quiet life away from the public and has a sizeable car collection in her possession. In fact, she even had eight automobiles in her garage at one time.
Stone's dearest and fanciest ride is the Bentley Continental GTC, which is believed to be worth about $200k. The ride is reported to reach 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds, and we were astonished to find out that she uses it as her drive to carry out daily errands.
Rowan Atkinson – McLaren F1, $12.2 Million
Rowan Atkinson, popularly known for his role as "Mr. Bean," has been on our screens playing the hilariously hyped role for so long that it is easy to forget that he has a life away from comedy stages and television. For instance, he is recognized for driving a Leyland Mini 1000 Mark IV, but his car collection in real life is far superior to that.
Atkinson owns an insanely beautiful and expensive collection, and we have to crown the McLaren F1 his best ride out of all that he owns or has owned. In his 17-year stint with the automobile, he crashed it twice before finally selling it in 2015.
Clint Eastwood – GMC Typhoon, $29.9K
Clint Eastwood may have been around since the mid-'50s, but he is still one of the most respected actors and filmmakers in the industry. He has won it all during his stellar career, from Academy Awards to Golden Globes and a Cesar Award. Like most celebrities, he has a knack for collecting the best rides.
Eastwood is the type of person we'd expect to see driving a muscle car, and while he doesn't, his GMC Typhoon certainly fit the bill when it was manufactured back in 1992. They say old is gold, and this automobile is just that, as it can hit 60 miles per hour in just 5.3 seconds.
Dolly Parton – 1997 Cadillac, $33.9K
Dolly Parton is one of the most honored female country music performers of all time. She holds the record for being the first woman to have 25 songs reach the top of the Billboard country charts, coupled with numerous major awards. Her success is perhaps better depicted by her extensive motorcycle collection.
While Parton can easily get any car of her choosing, her silver 1997 Cadillac holds a special place in her heart. We wonder how much she may have paid, as the price of a Cadillac model in the late '90s started at $36,995, way less than the price today.
Ron Howard – Fiat 500, $16.1K
Ron Howard has had a successful time in the spotlight. His prowess as an actor, screenwriter, director, and producer has proved more than sufficient to fulfill his lifestyle. Unlike most celebrities, Howard is not so fond of cars. In fact, he would definitely prefer a compact vehicle to get him around.
Howard's description of his dream ride certainly fits the Fiat 500 that he's been driving around since 2013 when he first tested it for Fiat. There must be something special about this ride, as he always gives it glowing reviews, describing it as really fun, user-friendly, and a keeper.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Tesla Model 3, $35K
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a political powerhouse in her own right. She has served as the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district as a member of the Democratic Party since 2019. She's hardly seen around unofficially, but when she is, she's always in her Tesla Model 3.
During the 2020 pandemic, commuting from Washington, DC, to New York was becoming increasingly difficult, and that's when she bought her first electric car, which is interesting as she dragged Tesla for not giving tax returns to Americans. The ride makes it easier for her to travel between the towns on just a single charge.
Kamala Harris – Chevrolet Suburban, $76K
Kamala Harris has put her name in the history books after becoming the first female American vice president and the highest-ranking female government official of all time. For someone who was hardly known before, it's quite an accomplishment, and it's only right she commutes in a ride befitting her status.
For official purposes, which is usually most of the time, Harris is conveyed in a Chevrolet Suburban SUV, which is a favorite of the United States government. The car can seat up to nine passengers and is converted for specialized protection. It first came to light during her first official visit to Singapore and has been around ever since.
Anna Kendrick – Cadillac Escalade, $76.4K
There's no doubt that American singer and actress Anna Kendrick has had a successful career. After humble beginnings as a child actor in theater productions and a phenomenal stint on Broadway, she finally made her film debut in the 2003 film "Camp." After "Pitch Perfect," her career has always been on an upward trajectory.
Everyone has their own reasons for working toward a stellar career. For Kendrick, success means being able to afford luxuries such as stunning homes and a $76.4k Cadillac Escalade. It is powered by a 420-hp V8 engine and is perfect for days when she has company, as it can seat up to seven passengers.
Hillary Clinton – Lincoln MKS, $42K
Hillary Clinton is one of the most popular politicians in America. She is the former first lady of the United States and served as the 67th Secretary of State. In 2016, she contested for the presidential seat against Donald Trump but lost in the electoral college. However, she continues to serve in an advisory capacity for the government.
Forget all the hype about what Clinton has done; one thing that she hasn't done since 1994 is drive. Over the years, she has been spotted being driven around in various vehicles, including the 2010 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost luxury car she arrived in for Trump's inauguration in 2017.
Amber Heard – 1968 Ford Mustang, $102K
Amber Heard is an American actress who has made a name for herself with mesmerizing roles in numerous films over the course of her career. She had always led a relatively quiet personal life until she burst into the headlines in a controversy in 2022 when her estranged ex-husband, Johnny Depp, sued her for defamation.
It's no secret that Heard and Depp have a thing in common: they both love vintage vehicles. One of Heard's spectacular rides is her beloved 1968 Ford Mustang. The car has an intriguing backstory, having been stolen four times, once disappearing for six months, and on another occasion as part of a prank by Depp.
Jean Reno – Cadillac SRX Crossover, $51.1K
Jean Reno is a critically acclaimed cult film actor well known for his appearance as a solo assassin in the movie "Leon: The Professional." His contribution to the French movie industry has led the French government to also recognize him.
Reno likes to keep his private life separate from his professional one, but one thing we know is that he has a sizeable collection of luxury vehicles to show for his hard work. One car that is worth talking about is the Cadillac SRX Crossover. It is a personalized version with multiple radars, cameras, and sensors, as well as a vibrating safety seat.
James Cameron – 1991 Callaway Twin Turbo Speedster Convertible, $185.5K
When it comes to creating, producing, and directing science fiction and epic films, no one comes close to the prowess that James Cameron has shown us over the years. We are not even surprised that his movies have grossed over $6 billion worldwide, enough to sustain a life as luxurious as he'd like.
Being able to afford the fanciest rides in the world is a dream come true, and Cameron makes the most of it. Back in the day, he owned a 1991 Callaway Speedster. It is outfitted with bespoke bodywork, and he sold it for $300K in 2019, having accumulated just 4200 miles.
Tiger Woods – Porsche Carrera GT, $750K
Tiger Woods is one of the most famous and richest golfers in the world. His wealth has come from his brilliance and sheer dominance across the sporting community. His impressive net worth extends to the various assets he owns, including a sizeable car collection, all equally luxurious and fancy.
One of the best rides that Woods has in his garage is the Porsche Carrera GT, which has 603 horsepower and features a powerful 5.7-liter engine and a manual 6-speed transmission. It's no wonder it got away from him and spun into the grass near his house, and he had to take it back to the dealership.
Sam Neill – 1947 Chevrolet Thriftmaster, $1K
We all know Sam Neill as the eccentric Dr. Alan Grant who toyed with grave danger in "Jurassic Park." However, in real life, he leads a down-to-earth lifestyle and spends most of his time tending to his vineyard in New Zealand. Being in the countryside, it's no surprise that he owns a 1947 Chevrolet Thriftmaster.
Neil named his vineyard Two Paddocks, which is the same name he inscribed on the automobile, so we can only presume he uses the Thriftmaster for his wine business. The car is quite old, and we can only assume he paid the manufacturing price of $1,087 for it.
William Shatner – 2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, $140.4K
William Shatner is well known to film lovers as Captain Kirk, who famously rode the starship called the USS Enterprise in "Star Trek." However, in real life, it seems he's content with riding normal vehicles like the rest of us, and he surely does it in style.
Over the years, Shatner has enjoyed his share of cars and motorcycles, but his 2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage was his favorite daily driver until 2016 when he auctioned it. While it wasn't as fast as the USS, it could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5 seconds. It's pretty impressive, isn't it?
Aaron Rodgers – Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, $30K
Aaron Rodgers' skills as a quarterback are undebatable. Despite the fact that he has been around for over a decade, his performances never cease to amaze, and he has everything to show for it, including his four NFL MVP wins. Apart from his success off the pitch, he also has one of the most unusual car collections.
Rodgers owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible that he was gifted by GM after a spectacular win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and for winning the MVP that year. It is dear to him as it reminds him of one of the best games of his career.
Hulk Hogan – 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10, $54.5K
Any Hulkamania fan would easily recognize the iconic red and yellow stripes that Hulk Hogan wore during the height of his wrestling career. In fact, he even went on to deck his favorite ride, a 1994 Dodge Viper, in his signature colors. This not only made it stand out but it was also linked to him every time fans saw it.
With a bright red Viper engine under the hood, the car could hit a top speed of 155 miles per hour, justifying its original starting price of $54,500. Despite the customization, he still auctioned it off as part of a Mecum Auctions event to raise funds for amputee prosthetics.
Prince Charles – Jaguar I-Pace, $80K
Prince Charles is a member of the British Royal Family, and what better example to set a standard for being environmentally friendly than himself? In 2018, he became the first member of the royal family to purchase an all-electric vehicle, a Jaguar I-Pace, for a reported $60k.
The car features a 90-kilowatt-hour battery, delivering a range of up to 240 miles, and though Prince Charles is not known to be a speed lover, its acceleration would have impressed him, as it can hit 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. It seems he loves the ride, as he has been spotted in it several times.
Ted Nugent – 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, $60.9K
Ted Nugent is well known for his energetic rock performances, and the nature of the industry means he has spent a significant amount of time in tour buses and station wagons. However, he has a sizable car collection and could easily drive a different one every day of the week.
In his garage, there are rides he speaks so highly of, and one of them is his 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which is exactly the type of whip we'd expect him to be driving. Despite his obvious affection for it, Nugent parted ways with it as it was auctioned off for $87,500 in March 2021.
Mark Zuckerberg – Honda Fit, $15.5K
Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook and one of the most recognized rich people in the world. Despite his wealth, he is one of those billionaires who doesn't care about flashy rides. In fact, it's surprising that he owns a modest Honda Fit.
Although Zuckerberg does have some classy rides in his collection, he’s rarely seen in them, as he prefers to commute in his economy-sized ride. His Honda Fit is probably the most affordable car in his collection, with a starting price of just $15.5k. We wonder what the secret to this vehicle is and why he loves it so much.
Bill Gates – Porsche Taycan, $150.9K
Talking of the richest people in the world, we definitely can't afford to leave out Bill Gates. While most billionaires, avoid flashy and luxurious rides that showcase their wealth, Gates doesn't fall into that category. In fact, he seems to have a knack for sleek sports cars and isn't bothered by all the outside talk about it.
Gates has been a long admirer of Porsche, as he showed us when he fought hard for over a decade to import an extremely rare 959 to the U.S. Another one of his prized assets is the Porsche Taycan that he bought in 2019.
Dick Van Dyke – Jaguar XJ, $74K
Dick Van Dyke is a TV icon and comic actor well known for his role in the film "Mary Poppins." However, he is also known for his passion for the automobile brand Jaguar. This is quite interesting, considering his lovely Jaguar XJ abruptly caught fire on a Los Angeles highway in 2013.
The car cost Van Dyke around $74k, and his fire accident was mysterious, as Jaguars are hardly known to catch fire. Not so long after the incident, he bought another Jaguar, and we are sure he didn't think twice about installing a top-notch fire alarm and an extinguisher in this one.
Michael Caine – Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, $98.5K
Michael Caine rose to prominence and made a name for himself as a mega-movie star in the ‘80s. That was when he finally got the chance to get his first ride, a classy Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. He has never been known as a motor enthusiast, having reportedly passed his driving test at the age of 50.
In 1984, when he got it, the Silver Spirit cost up to $98.5k, and he eventually placed it on auction in 2018. That might look like a loss, but he could simply make the amount in just a couple of appearances, and the car had served him for long enough.
Cher – Porsche Boxster S, $51.6K
Cher is one of the highest-paid musicians. At one point in her career, she was earning $300K a week for concert residencies, so we can only imagine what sort of luxurious lifestyle she can't afford. It's no wonder she boasts an expensive car collection, including a 2002 Porsche Boxster S.
The ride cost her around $51.6k, which is not an amount to worry her. Cher's career culminated in becoming a Grammy-Award winner, and she has since had a very consistent career, and we're definitely looking forward to more of her tours, and perhaps some more classy and luxurious rides over the years.
Bruce Willis – 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible, $161K
It’s no secret that Bruce Willis is a vintage car enthusiast. While he doesn't say it openly, it doesn't take a second look at his automobile collection to know it. He does have a nice auto collection that once consisted of various Corvette and Shelby models. His 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible is one of his favorites and a notable mention.
Willis loves the ride and has put a lot of time into fitting it out, changing the engine and the appearance to suit his tastes. In fact, he spent $28K to fix the interior alone before auctioning it off in 2008 for $161K.
Barry Manilow – 1988 Range Rover, $34.4K
When the Range Rover first appeared on the scene as a high-end vehicle in the 1980s and 1990s, the price tag indicated that it was intended for the wealthy. Grammy Award winner Barry Manilow falls into the category of the rich and famous, so it’s no surprise that he copped a 1988 Range Rover for himself during his peak years.
The Range Rover reportedly cost up to $34.4 million the year it was manufactured. The price would hardly have been a problem for Manilow, who dropped high-selling hits like "Copacabana" and "Mandy" in the ‘70s and is still recognized in the 21st century.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – 1948 Packard Super 8 Convertible, $66K
Basketball is definitely one of the highest-paying sports in the world, so it’s no wonder NBA stars can afford lives as luxurious as they like. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is just another NBA legend who lives a life we can only dream of, from his houses to his businesses and vehicles.
When Abdul-Jabbar proudly displayed his sleek vintage 1948 Packard Convertible on Twitter in 2014, it was clearly evident that he must have a knack for vintage rides. He got the car for $66K from a Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has since customized it into a shiny black, classy-looking, and enviable automobile.
Brian Johnson – $400K, Rolls-Royce Phantom
Brian Johnson is one of those celebrities who hasn't always been a car fan. In fact, he had little interest in them as a child but vowed to himself that his adulthood would be different, and thanks to his celebrity, he was able to realize his dream of having an enviable collection.
Johnson didn't waste time once he could afford a Rolls Royce Phantom, and he has since fallen in love with it, even claiming that he "drove it as if he stole it." While it's not public how much he paid for the ride, there's no doubt it was a huge amount.
Nicko McBrain – Jaguar XKR-S, $79K
Nicko McBrain has established himself as one of the most successful instrumentalists of all time, having sold over 100 million albums with the band, Iron Maiden. Despite his wealth, he still prefers to save on vehicles by getting used ones instead of brand-new ones.
However, his philosophy only took effect until he saw the 2013 Jaguar XKR-S. He got the ride and teamed up with Jaguar to ensure it was perfectly customized to suit his preferences. As expected, the desired modifications ended up costing him more than $79k, the original retail price, but it was definitely worth the effort and money.
John Travolta – Rolls-Royce Phantom, $410K
John Travolta is one of the most famous celebrities in the world. He also happens to be a car enthusiast. While many celebrities like to buy vintage rides so they can keep them and admire them without using them, he doesn't fall into that category with his 1960 Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Travolta made headlines with the Rolls-Royce when he pulled up at the 2013 Oscars. It is estimated that the automobile cost him $410K, which may appear to be an exaggerated price. However, given that only 516 of these Phantoms were made, and the version was popular with royals such as Queen Elizabeth in the 1960s, it's worth it.
Oprah Winfrey – Volkswagen Beetle, $30K
Almost everyone knows Oprah Winfrey. She has made a name for herself in her show of the same name, where she has done several memorable things. One such moment was when she donated 275 Volkswagen Beetles to her audience in 2010. The cars were the 2012 Beetle version, so the audience members had to wait until they were released.
When the Beetle was released in 2011, it reportedly cost as much as $30K. This means Winfrey must have given away the equivalent of $8.2 million! Whether she paid for them all from her pocket remains a mystery, but there’s no denying that she could afford one.
Morgan Freeman – Tesla Model S, $79.5K
Tesla has always been a viable option for most celebrities ever since it was released, perhaps due to its environmental friendliness. Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman became the latest celebrity to join in the crusade when he bought his luxury Tesla Model S in 2016.
That year, the Tesla sold for $79.5K, which wouldn't be a huge amount for Freeman. Apart from being electric, the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an impressive 3 seconds or less, so the amount was definitely worth it. We'd love to see him raving the ride around, but he lives a fairly private life.
John Goodman – Ford F-150, $29.4K
John Goodman is well known for his role in "Roseanne," where he portrayed the character of a family man. Perhaps that's why most of his fans weren't even surprised to see him drive a modest-looking vehicle like the Ford F-150. He must have gotten the ride in 2013, the same year he was seen in it.
Despite looking so simple, the 2013 Ford F-150 is no slouch: it can hit 60 miles per hour in just under 10 seconds. With a manufacturing price as high as $29k, it must have been a super affordable ride for a famous superstar like Goodman.
Tina Turner – Lamborghini LM002, $262K
As the “Queen of Rock and Roll,” as she’s been popularly called, Tina Turner can afford to splash on any fancy ride that she desires, no wonder she couldn't hold back on seeing the Lamborghini LM002.
Turner eventually replaced the original engine with a Mercedes-built V8 and fitted it with an entertainment system, including a massive stereo and lots of lights and mirrors. It was a pretty impressive sight for anyone who saw Turner driving the big car, almost disappearing in it. Even with that, she didn't keep it for long, and she put it up for sale in 2008 for $262K.
Shaquille O’Neal – Vaydor Roadster, $40K
Shaquille O'Neal is a sports analyst for "Inside the NBA." Everyone in basketball fanatics, however, remembers him for his time as a professional basketball player. He cemented his place as one of the game's best, having played for six teams and amassing a massive fortune for himself.
O'Neal has a special knack for automobiles, and one of the best cars in his collection has to be the Vaydor Roadster. While the ride is popular among the A-listers, O'Neal's is not the regular one. It is custom-made with all the features that he wanted in it. It probably just sums up his accumulated success over the years.
Alan Jackson – 1962 Corvette, $4K
Alan Jackson is yet another icon who is considered a geek when it comes to classic cars. His collection includes mainly a massive collection of antique vehicles and he also has a workstation that’s designed to look like the interior of a classic ride, so his passion is disputable.
All the vehicles in Jackson’s collection are elegant, but one wheel that deserves particular mention is the 1962 Corvette. The ride cost a base price of $4,038 when it was first produced, but these days it could easily fetch between $50K to $200K because its value has increased over the years.
Leonardo DiCaprio – $30K, Toyota Prius
However the film industry may evolve and new generations of artists crop up, Leonardo DiCaprio will remain one of the most talented actors of all time. He also has a reputation for being a passionate environmental activist, so it wasn’t so surprising when he was spotted in a hybrid Toyota Prius in 2006.
The environmentally-friendly car cuts down on fuel consumption and uses its electric technology to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent. For a price of $22K, it's easy to see why it was a no-brainer for him. After all, he just joined the list of famous celebrities who use the Prius as their daily driver.
