Are you the sort of person who would drop most of their lottery winnings on a truly astounding car? And if so, which one would you pick? Ahead of Channel 4’s DeLorean: Back from the Future, we are looking at some of the most eye-wateringly expensive cars owned by celebs around the world – for inspiration for our future car, of course!
Expensive Celebrity Cars
1. Jay-Z – Maybach Exelero
Cost: £5.8million
Wow. Jay-Z must be terrified of scraping a tree branch when he takes this one out for a spin! The costly, all blacked-out sports car was also featured in his music video for Lost One. Did you spot it?
2. Simon Cowell – Bugatti Veyron
Cost: £1.1million
Simon onced owned this extremely expensive car before selling it back in 2014. At the time, he told Ellen DeGeneres: “It talked to me when I went into the showroom. It was like it was beckoning me to buy it… It’s the most beautiful car, it’s insane.” He then joked that in three years, he had driven it twice.
3. Kylie Jenner – Ferrari LaFerrari
Cost: £1million
Of course Kylie received a £1million car as a push present from her boyfriend at the time, Travis Scott. Doesn’t everyone? Before giving birth to their daughter, Stormi, Kylie was treated to the car that can reach 124 mph in less than seven seconds. Little Stormi will never have to be late for nursery school then!
4. Beyonce – 1959 Silver Cloud Rolls-Royce Convertible
Cost: £729,300
As a birthday present from hubby Jay-Z, this Rolls-Royce boasts of gorgeous blue leather seats with whitewall tyres and a 6.2litre engine. We think we’ll just go ahead and add this to our wish list.
5. Elon Musk – Lotus Esprit
Cost: £725,800
Not only is Elon’s car worth a small fortune, and there is also a great story behind it! It was discovered in an abandoned storage locker, which a couple bid on for less than £100 at an auction – and is the car from the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.
6. David Beckham – Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead
Cost: £350,000
David likes to drive in style! Alongside a collection of gorgeous cars is this stunning Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead, which is complete with a set of Savini Forged Wheels. Despite a variety of customisations on the car, it appears that the retired footballer sold it in 2012 after amassing just 6,000 miles in the vehicle.
7. Paris Hilton – Bentley GT Continental
Cost: £145,000
Paris’ stunning customised Bentley is bright pink – so no surprises there! Previously chatting about the fabulous paint job, she told People: “I think when you’re a little girl and you have the Barbie Corvette you’re like, ‘I wish I had a car like this one.; So I think it’s just being a fan of Barbie for so long.” Wow.
