Bobby Sherman's Boeing 720B
Sixties teen pop sensation Bobby Sherman purchased a Boeing 720B in 1973 and named it the “Starship”. The private plane was decked out to suit a rock star’s every fantasy and was used to transport the biggest names in the business throughout the mid-1970s. The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, The Allman Brothers, and The Bee Gees are just a few of the huge musical acts who had the privilege of chartering the Starship.
The plane’s unbelievable custom features included a king-sized waterbed, a fireplace, electric organ, and 30-foot bar (fully stocked with both controlled stubstances and alcohol, of course). Unfortunately, the party in the sky lasted only four years. The Starship was scrapped for parts in 1982 but is fondly remembered in many rock legends’ memoirs.
Clooney and Crawford's Casamigos Jet
For her 50th birthday, supermodel Cindy Crawford's husband whisked her away to a tropical getaway on his and George Clooney's private jet (because you can do those things when you're loaded!) Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber, a restaurant mogul, are known for letting loose, as Crawford shares videos of her shenanigans on her Instagram with friends like George Clooney and his wife Amal.
In fact, the Casamigos private jet that the couple is in front is owned by Gerber and Clooney. The friends started a tequila company in 2012 and clearly, you need a private jet when you're throwing back all of those shots promoting your brand. The two power couples are often spotted taking the jet for both business and pleasure.
Steven Spielberg's, Oprah Winfrey's, and Celine Dion's Bombardier Global Express XRS

To make sure the family has a special way to get around, Giselle bought a $53.5 million Gulfstream G550 private jet in 2010. Since then, the Buccaneers QB hasn't been shy about taking his family, and those closest to him, on some very lavish getaways.
Beyoncé and Jay Z's Bombardier Challenger 850
What better way to tell your husband that he's doing a great job as a father? By buying him a private jet, of course! At least, that's what superstar Beyoncé did when she shelled out a cool $40 million to reward hubby Jay Z for being an amazing dad to their daughter Blue Ivy.
The Bombardier Challenger 850 comfortably flies 15 passegners and is decked out with all the most extravagant luxuries, including a bedroom, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and cream leather seats throughout the living room. Not a bad way to travel the friendly skies!
Elvis Presley's Convair 880
Elvis Presley probably had dozens, if not hundreds, of people swarming him at any particular time. Could you imagine being Elvis Presley and trying to walk through an airport? That would have been impossible to walk through an airport as he would have been stopped every second trying to get from one point to another point.
Luckily, Presley had his own private jet in which to travel. He had his own Convair 880 to fly the friendly skies. He named the Convair 880 “Lisa Marie,” after his daughter. The Convair Jets usually seated 110 people, but Elvis’ personal plane seated 28 people.
Google's Boeing 757-200

Fleetwood Mac's Private Jet
Led Zeppelin wasn't the only band to have a private plane. British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac also owned a plane in the 1970s. It's incredible how many musicians continued to charter private planes in the '70s, as plane accidents became more frequent.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed in 1977, killing three of the band members. Joe Perry of Aerosmith recalls that his band was going to charter that very plane, but changed plans. "It was a terrible tragedy, and we just considered ourselves incredibly lucky. People were flying on all these different planes, and it was very common to be on a plane Fleetwood Mac had been on the week before."
Rupert Murdoch's Boeing Business Jet
Rupert Murdoch puts the “b” in billionaire and his is a name that is synonymous with money and wealth.

Jim Carrey's Gulfstream V
Jim Carrey has worked his way into the hearts of many people giving his gift of comedy and entertainment to millions of people around the world.

Tiger Woods' Gulfstream G550
The Tiger gets around...when it comes to traveling that is! Tiger Woods is a popular professional golf player who has made billions of dollars in the game of golf. He holds 14 championship wins under his belt and probably has a ball pit full of cash.
Tiger Woods has put this cash to good use and one of the things that he has purchased was a Gulfstream G550 jet. A lot of the people who have these expensive planes seem to lean towards these Gulfstream jets. His jet has oval windows, a built-in restroom, and a wardrobe. The jet can fly over 12,000 km without stopping for gas for more than 12 hours. The price tag on Tiger Wood’s Gulfstream G550 is estimated to be around $53 million.
Tom Cruise's Gulfstream IV
Tom Cruise is the perfect example of an actor who has made his real life similar to one of his roles. When I think of Tom Cruise, I can only think of two words: Top Gun. Many people may have the same thought process as well when they think of Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise may have been inspired by the movie Top Gun to have an interest in planes and to foster his love of aviation.
Tom Cruise has a private Gulfstream IV jet. This jet is a state-of-the-art G4 which seats two people in the cockpit and also has room to carry 19 passengers. The Gulfstream IV can reach an altitude of about 45,000 feet. The price of this jet is $36 million. And that tells you how successful Cruise has become.

Actress Elizabeth Taylor and her actor husband Richard Burton lived a glamorous lifestyle. Married from 1964 until 1974, and then getting remarried for one more year from 1975-1976, they both got what they wanted, when they wanted it. After taking a flight, Burton purchased the brand new jet they flew in for Taylor for $960,000
Tragically, Taylor's ex-husband, film producer Mike Todd, died in his private plane when it crashed in 1958. He had named it "The Liz" after her. But that didn't deter Taylor from flying in small aircraft.
Wayne Huizenga's De Havilland Canada DHC-6-320 Twin Otter
Who is Wayne Huizenga you ask? If you have not heard of this man, Wayne Huizenga is an entrepreneur. He was the owner of the Miami Dolphins, but he now owns 5% percent of the Miami Dolphins team. He also owns 5% of the Hard Rock Stadium which is located in Miami. He actually started off in the garbage business. He was not collecting trash, of course, but he owned a waste manage business before owning the Miami Dolphins.
Out of the heap and into the lap of luxury, Huizenga owns a de Havilland Canada DHC-6-320 Twin Otter. The Twin Otter is one of the most robust transportation vehicles that is currently in existed. It can carry about 19 people and can land on the roughest of strips.
Phil Mickelson's Gulfstream GV
Tiger Woods isn't the only professional golfer with a private jet. Phil Mickelson reportedly threw down $60 million on a Gulfstream GV. He customized it with Rolls-Royce engines and paid extra for advanced technology in the cockpit.
It fits 14 people and has a luxurious interior, too. Mickelson might have spent a pretty penny on his private jet but it has all of the bells and whistles.
Gautam Singhania's Bombardier Challenger 600 Series
Gautam Singhania is another gentleman who is loaded with money. For those of you who have never heard of Gautam Singhania, he is a millionaire who has made his fortune in worsted (wool) fabric. He is a chairman of the Raymond Group, which is the largest producer in the world of worsted fabric.

His Boeing 767-33A has an interior that is made out of chestnut and adorned with pure gold. He is often seen in this jet around London since he spends a lot of time there.
Tyler Perry's Gulfstream III
It’s not surprising that mega-star Tyler Perry, who is one of the top producers, directors, and actors in Hollywood, owns a private jet. Perry opted for a Gulfstream III to ferry him around the world. The plane, of course, is fully customized to Perry’s desires.
One of the coolest features of this private jet is the full screening room – necessary to keep up Perry’s busy schedule. Complete with a 42-inch HD LCD screen television, the screening room also boasts satellite TV, theater lighting, and a host of Blu-ray players. Perry famously lends his jet to friends in need. After Whitney Houston’s shocking 2012 death, he graciously used the Gulfstream to transport her body from California to her home state of New Jersey.
Al Mooney's Mooney M20
Albert “Al” Mooney (April 12, 1906 – May 7, 1986) was an aircraft designer by trade. In fact, he was impressively self-taught in the art of designing aircraft. It is therefore no surprise that he would end up creating a line of private jets.
Al Mooney was considered to be an innovator in the field of aviation. With his gift of invention, it was only fair that he created his own line of private jets known as the Mooney M20 aka the Mooney Bravo. These jets made their debut in 1955 and are still being produced today. These jets cost about$ 1.5 million.
Hugh Hefner's Playboy Jet
Before he passed, Hugh Hefner was notorious for never wanting to be inconvenienced. He liked to do things a certain way and enjoyed his comfort and privacy. Hefner bought a jet in the late '60s and named her "Big Bunny" complete with the playboy logo on the tail of the plane.
Reportedly costing around $5 million, Hefner used the jet to fly around the world with his clients and Playboy bunnies. Hefner wrote in the Wall Street Journal, "I saw the future when I was in London: The [...] revolution was going on and the miniskirt had just arrived ... I decided then and there to get the jet."
Sol Kerzner Jets Everywhere
Sol Kerzner is perhaps the Donald Trump of South Africa. The casino and hotel magnate is incredibly wealthy, with an estimated fortune between $600 million and 1 billion. He racks up quite a bit of mileage on his jet, reportedly flying 158 hours in a single month.
Kerzner travels frequently, and often brings one of his girlfriends along with him. His private jet wasn't big enough for his 50th birthday party, however. For that, he had to charter an even bigger aircraft, one that carried 150 of his closest friends to his hotel and casino in Mauritius. For that, he had the stewardesses replaced with strippers.
Lady Gaga Travels in Style
Lady Gaga owns a Boeing 757, which was given to her by LIVE NATION. When onboard, Gaga does what she pleases, and sometimes makes news for it. She makes use of her time on board to catch up on her beauty routines. She's posted photos of herself in a fur coat with a blue gel face mask on, tapping away on her phone.
Lady Gaga has also been spotted flipping the bird to photographers as she arrives on the tarmac. Her tour takes her all over the world, so her jet gets proper use.
Paul McCartney Always Has a Private Plane
Never slowing down, Paul McCartney has been traveling by private plane since the '60s with The Beatles. His tours always include plenty of stops, and McCartney frequently travels back and forth from the UK to the US.
Aside from privacy and comfort, McCartney has another reason for traveling by private plane: he tends to bring a lot of stuff. Upon arriving in the US in 2016, his assistants were seen carefully carrying out instruments and bottles of wine McCartney had brought back with him.
Cameron Crowe Still Flies After a Scary Experience
Rock journalist and director Cameron Crowe is living the rockstar lifestyle with his private plane. Like others in the music industry in the '70s, Crowe has had some bad experiences aboard private planes, but that didn't stop him from buying one of his own.
He told Rolling Stone, "Iwas on a really bad plane flight on the Who tour in 1973. They let me fly with the T-shirt-merchandising guy. He was so eager to get to the next city to see this redhead that he flew us into a storm and went as fast as he could. I swore I wouldn't go on any more private planes. Then I got together with Nancy, and Heart did a tour with a private plane, where I took the second-worst plane flight of my life. We were in a storm so terrible that you really were looking at people for the last time. We ended up landing in Tupelo, which is why it's Tupelo in the movie. The joke was that we were going to die in Elvis' hometown, so it could never be famous for where we crashed."
The New England Patriots' Private Plane
The NFL's New England Patriots have their own luxurious aircraft to fly them to games across the country. The Boeing 767 was purchased by team owner Robert Kraft in August 2017. He didn't buy just one, but two Boeings for the Patriots.

Jim Nolan, COO of Gillette Stadium, told CBS Sports, "The players historically have sat on coach seats on a domestic aircraft, so what we did with these seats, was first, we got the widest and largest seat that you can put on this plane. Most importantly, from a player perspective, we've added five-inches of legroom beyond what a typical first-class seat has."
Kylie Jenner And Travis Scott Take Turns
In early 2022, Kylie Jenner posted an Instagram photo cuddling with her on again off again partner Travis Scott in front of their private jets with the caption "you wanna take mine or yours?".
Obviously not a great way to flaunt wealth or save the earth, but Jenner apparently loves taking her jets. It's been reported she's taken one on a 3 minute flight (a journey that would've taken 43 minutes by car).
Alex Rodriguez Upgraded to a Gulfstream
In 2017, retired baseball star Alex Rodriguez was spotted with a brand new jet. He already had a LearJet 60, but he decided to upgrade to a Gulfstream IV like Tom Cruise and others.
The bigger aircraft allows Rodriguez to fly further, with twice the mileage capacity as his last plane. It sits 14 people with a luxurious interior. With how much flying he and girlfriend Jennifer Lopez do, it makes sense that they would want privacy and comfortable while traveling.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Used His Jet to Commute Every Day
Arnold Schwarzenegger has accomplished a whole lot in life, including a successful bodybuilding career, actor, and politician. It makes sense that a busy guy like Arnold would have a private jet to get around. However, not everyone saw it that way.
While holding office as the governor of California, Arnold used his Gulf-stream jet for his daily commute from his home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, to Sacramento. Critics said that his stance against oil was hypocritical while he flew to work every day.
Michael Jordan's Jet: The Flying Sneaker
Michael Jordan's private plane is unmistakable. He has had the jet painted twice, both were eye-catching and impressive. The first exterior was customized with Jordan's favorite Carolina blue and his emblematic drunk graphic.
Then in 2017, Jordan decided to freshen up the look with a white and grey camo wrap and dark grey Air Jordan graphic. People have likened it to a "flying sneaker."
Magic Johnson Loves His Toys
NBA legend Magic Johnson is one former pro athlete who didn't blow his earnings. However, he is spending it on some lavish items. He purchased a private jet, and has chartered a yacht that runs $700,000 per week. His plane has landed him in a bit of trouble, though.
In 2012, one of the flight attendants aboard his private jet filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination. She earned $75,000 a year as his personal flight attendant and claims she was fired because she was seven minutes late to work after she was held up at the deli ordering Johnson's special turkey sandwich.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Has Two Planes
For how flashy boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is, you'd expect him to have a jet. He has not one, but two multi-million dollar private planes that he loves showing off. As one of the richest athletes of all time, Mayweather has money to throw around. It's not confirmed how much he spent on the jets, but models like the ones he has, the GulfStream III, go for around $34 million.
One of the jet's interiors features white leather seats and a lavish kitchen complete with golden handles and faucets. It resembles a Las Vegas casino, which makes sense since that's where he spends most of his time. His newest jet has black leather seats.
McGregor Wants Everyone To Know He Has a Jet, Too
Mayweather isn't the only fighter who has a fancy jet. Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor posts images of himself flying in his private jet on his Instagram. In December 2017 he posted a photo of himself reading a newspaper upside down in the jet, which got some comments.
His private plane features cream-colored leather seats and a large dining table for his family to stretch out, relax, and eat while they travel.
The Sultan of Brunei's Boeing 747-430
Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, better known as the Sultan of Brunei, has a long family legacy and comes from a very long line of rulers. The Sultan of Brunei is a title that has been held and handed down for generations since the 1300s and Hassanal Waddaulah is the current sultan holding office.
The sultan has to travel in style, of course, as sultans are known for their luxurious lives and extravagant furnishings. The sultan owns a private jet, which is a Boeing 747-430. This is a spacious jet with its own special interior. This Boeing 747 has wash basins that are made of solid gold. Unsurprisingly, the jet has a price tag of $100 million.
Floyd Mayweather's Koenigsegg
Boxer Floyd Mayweather's Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita cost him $4.8 million. The extravagant vehicle has a carbon-fiber made body and has integrated fuel for optimum performance. The acceleration reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and has a braking distance of 32 meters.
With an estimated net worth of $400 million, Mayweather is a two-time winner of The Ring magazine's Fighter of the Year award, a three-time winner of the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year award, and a six-time winner of the Best Fighter ESPY Award. He’s been called one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Kim Kardashian's Ferrari
Reality-TV Star Kim Kardashian's Ferrari F430 is just one of the many impressive cars in her vehicle collection. The F430 comes with a 4.3-liter V8 petrol engine and accelerates to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds. The reality star reportedly bought the car when she was dating Reggie Bush back in 2009. The estimated value of the car is $186,925, but she’s not been seen driving the car lately.
She apparently prefers her Bentley Continental, and those sightings have been hotly promoted by Bentley. With the long list of perfume and diet pills that she endorses, it’s also possible that Ferrari just hasn’t offered her a deal to endorse their car.
Ralph Lauren's Bugatti
Ralph Lauren owns one of only two Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantics cars, worth an estimated $40 million. The 1938 model is Ralph's prized possession, made from a light but flammable magnesium alloy called Elektron. It’s considered a monument to pre-war Europe, and it won the Concorso d’Eleganze Villa d’Este.
One source said, "It’s a beautiful car, but not $40 million beautiful. Then again in that rarefied air, you’re not paying for value, but for exclusivity. Still, anyway I try to slice it, I can’t help but think that $40 million for a car is ridiculous."
Range Rovers Are Kate Moss' Style
In 2014 Kate Moss was spotted at the Range Rover dealership in London, where she drove away with a new model in black. She trusts the automaker with her safety, as Moss was involved in a car accident while sitting in the back of her previous Range Rove in September of 200.
A chauffeur was driving the model to a Vogue fashion shoot when he collided with another car at high speed and set the Rover on its side. Moss was airlifted to the hospital but was found to only have minor injuries. Looks like she's a Range Rover owner for life!
Tom Cruise Has Plenty of Whips
Actor Tom Cruise not only has plenty of cars in his garage, but motorcycles, too. One of his flashiest vehicles has to b the Bugatti Veyron. Built by Volkswagen, the mid-engine sports car has an incredible top speed of 253 miles per hour, making it the fastest street-legal production car in the world.
Cruise was one of the first people to buy the car, and he drove it to the premier of Mission Impossible III, stunning fans. Other cars in his collection include a Ford Mustang Saleen S281 and a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette.
Clint Eastwood Drives a GMC Typhoon
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Clint Eastwood revealed which vehicle he drives. Fallon guessed that he drove either a muscle car or a truck, and the answer was quite surprising. "I drive a Typhoon," Eastwood said. “A GMC Typhoon. It's actually a turbo V6, it’s fast.”
The high-performance SUV was only produced from 1991 to 1993. According to Kelly Blue Book, a 1993 GMC Jimmy Typhoon is valued at $11,448, which is a low-cost vehicle for an actor who has a net worth of $375 million.
Patrick Dempsey's Jaguar
It's a perfectly beautiful car for one of the hottest celebrity you can think of! Unlike some of his fellow celebs, Patrick Dempsey is not one to leave his vintage 1954 Jaguar XK120 in the garage. It’s one of the most iconic cars in automobile history, and he regularly drives it around LA. The old-school vehicle is classified as a British roadster. The Telegraph voted the automobile "The World’s Most Beautiful Car" back in 2008.
Of course, beyond owning beautiful cars, Dempsey is also the owner and co-driver of Dempsey Racing. He’s been compared to James Garner, Paul Newman, and Steve McQueen as an up-and-coming actor-driver to watch. In an interview with Architectural Digest, he said that his dad raced cars and that he’d bring home Matchbox cars for his son. “The older you get, the bigger the Matchboxes get,” he said.
Nicki Minaj's Custom Pink Lambo
Barbie obviously has to have a pink sports car! Nikki's custom-made pink Lamborghini cost her a cool $450,000 and is decked out with two pairs of Forgiato wheels at 700-horsepower. Of course, who could forget the infamous "scissor" doors. It’s the mark of a Lamborghini.
The female rapper also has a pink Range Rover and a pink Bentley to match. Since she’s worth a reported $45 million, she’s got the right to fulfill her passion for bright-pink, even if it made the cost of the hot car rise exponentially. In case you’re curious, Chris Brown also bought one of these hot cars, and he painted it like a Nike shoe.
Miley Cyrus' Maserati
Miley Cyrus' 2014 white Maserati is worth an estimated $100,000. The sports car is a three-speed automatic, with 260 units of horsepower. Always the center of controversy and drama, Miley’s Maserati was recently stolen by two young burglars, but it was recovered in Simi Valley. Naomi Charles and Tyler Scott were arrested and plead guilty to burglary, which also included jewelry, purses, and clothing from Miley’s house.
They were lured by fame and inspired by The Bling Ring, who infamously robbed Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox, Rachel Bilson, Ashley Tisdale and Lindsay Lohan. Like the Bling Ring, Charles and Scott were identified from surveillance video.
Kylie Jenner's Spider
Kylie Jenner's Ferrari 458 Spider was an 18th-birthday present from her rapper boyfriend, Tyga. They then had the sports car custom wrapped with gray, matte finish and costs a cool $260,000. The car is equipped with a 4-liter V8 engine. Pedal to the metal, you can reach 9,000 rpm with 562-the horsepower.
Kylie’s sister, Kendall, bought a matching Ferrari on the same day. For her part, Kylie has a fleet of other cars in her garage, including a white Range Rover Autobiography, a black Mercedes-Benz G63 SU and a white Rolls Royce Ghost, plus you’ll find a Mercedes-Benz Maybach and Ferrari 458 Italia.
Britney Spears' SL 500
Britney Spears always has a knack for being the center of attention, with controversy, love, and her penchant for expensive stuff. She's also adept at picking luxury vehicles, and the pop icon’s favorite car is probably her Mercedes SL 500. The white convertible is one of the biggest-selling MB models of all time and reaches 60 mph in just four seconds!
The car’s interior comes with a German wood trim and has "magic vision control." She got the car when she was still hobbling around with crutches, and media reported that the car was a way to keep her mind off the physical therapy.
Sofia Vergara's Mercedes
Hot ladies must think alike! Modern Family star Sofia Vergara also owns a Mercedes-Benz S-Class model, similar to Britney's but with slight differences. After all, the luxury vehicle has been manufactured for over six decades and is the world’s best-selling sedan. With a twin-turbocharged engine, it isn’t hard to understand why it’s such a popular car.
With an estimated net worth of $120 million, this hot car is priced at $169,000. She also resides in a Beverly Hills mansion, reportedly worth $10.6 million. She also owns two Range Rover cars. She was also named one of People magazine’s "50 most beautiful people," and she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Matt Damon's Tesla
Actor Matt Damon's Tesla Roadster is 100% electric and eco-friendly. The car cost the Film Actor’s Guild member $100,000 and operates on a two-speed transmission (as long as it’s in the highest gear). The Tesla Roadster gets 250 miles before it needs a charge. He first tried out the test model, which obviously affected his take on the car.
Damon said, "the 30-60 acceleration is like nothing else." Of course, he’s not the only one who sports a Tesla. Other Tesla-owning celebrities include Ben Affleck, Cameron Diaz, Will Smith, and Leonardo DiCaprio. For those eco-conscious stars, it’s just the right choice.
Jay Leno's Ecojet
With a car collection like Jay Leno's, you can’t help but see his name all over the place when celebrities are linked with hot cars. Of course, Leno also owns a striking Ecojet, which is designed to run on biodiesel fuel. Inspired by a 1963 Chrysler turbine car and GM’s 1950s Firebird, Leno collaborated with General Motors to build a custom high-tech supercar. He can afford to get what he wants in a vehicle.
As you’d expect in one of the cars in Leno’s fleet, the two-seater has two LCD screens on the dashboard and speech-recognition software. And, of course, the exhaust runs on fine cooking oil. Your burning question is about speed, though, right? And, that can top 245mph (theoretically). Of course, there’s been no word on whether Leno has actually been seen traveling that fast on the race track.
Jay-Z's Exelero
You didn't think Queen Bey would be the only member of her royal family to own a flashy car, did you? Her husband, Jay-Z, owns this Maybach Exelero. The rapper’s Exelero is rumored to have cost him a ridiculous $8 million. But, then, it’s also been featured in "Otis" by Kanye West and Jay Z, so it had to be just right. This hot car is a two-seater coupe.
You could reach speeds of up to 200mph if you were ever allowed to take a drive. Of course, the high price tag also means that he’s in an exclusive club of owners. Few could afford it. His entire car collection has been valued at well over $15 million.
Justin Bieber's Ferrari 458 Italia
Justin Bieber was riding around in his Audi R8 but then he upgraded to a baby-blue Lamborghini Aventador. Originally purchased in white by the Biebs, he transformed it with a blue matte finish and then he auctioned it off earlier this year.
He also bought a Ferrari LaFerrari with a red body, with an estimated price tag of $1.7 million. It's been called "the world’s most-impressive hypercar." It’s certainly one of the most expensive cars, but it’s also exclusive, as only 499 will ever be made. There’s been speculation that this beautiful car might fall victim to Bieber’s tendency toward DUIs and street racing. Who knows?
50 Cent's Lamborghini
Rapper Curtis James Jackson III, better known as 50 Cent, had a Lamborghini Aventador just like his fellow rapper, Kanye West, except that this Aventador is detailed in a cobalt-blue color wrap. 50 Cent reportedly paid $300,000 for his luxury vehicle. It's all been a blur, though.
Hot on the heels of losing a lawsuit and a $5 million judgment, his lawyers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2015. Before that filing, he appeared #15 on the list of "25 Biggest Car Collectors in Hip-Hop." The New York Times also did a profile on him, which said that he had “exceptional business instincts.”
Jerry Seinfeld's Minimalism Slant
Jerry Seinfeld doesn't have just one Porsche. He has an entire Porsche collection, and many of them appear to have an eclectic and nostalgic slant. The comedy writer and actor owns a 1970 911 S that Steve McQueen drove in Le Mans and a 356 that was once used as a Dutch police car.
He reportedly sold 18 of his Porsches for $28 million. in an interview with CNBC, he said about the Porsche, "This little car is the essence of sports-car perfection." There’s something about the minimalism, as he explained: “There’s no stupid lines on a Porsche that don’t make sense.”
Steven Tyler's $1.1 Million Ride
Steven Tyler lives life in the fast lane—literally. In 2012, the legendary rock star purchased the world's fastest street-legal car. The hand-built convertible is known as The Hennessey Venom GT Spyder and is one of just five 2013 models to be made.
Tyler’s is the only convertible of the batch and can accelerate to 200 miles per hour in just 15.9 seconds and has a top speed of 275 miles per hour. The Aerosmith frontman came to the car’s makers with detailed drop-top and motor requests, so his ride was custom-made just for him based on the standard Venom GT prototype. He sold the car for $800,000 in 2017 and the proceeds went to his charity Janie’s Fund.
Katy Perry's Audi
Singing sensation Katy Perry got lots of attention when she bought her Audi A5. This hot car is equipped with a 3.2-liter V6 engine, with a top reported speed of 60 mph in six seconds flat. It's sophisticated and classy, in gorgeous black, without the out-of-sight price tag. Katy purchased the vehicle in 2009 for $50,000.
Of course, she’s not the only one who owns an Audi. You may just see these other celebrities in their favorite Audi cars: Gisele, BJ Novak, Ben Stiller, and Ben Affleck. Perry’s black Audi also landed her on the list of "Top 10 Expensive Cars of Female Celebrities."
Jason Statham's Ferrari
Jason Statham needed a car that could keep up with his high-speed action career, so he purchased a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta in 2015. He's owned a few Audi cars in the past, but this Ferrari is powered by a 6.3-liter V12 engine.
Pedal to the metal, you can reach a top speed of more than 211 miles per hour. Ferrari even posted a pick of Statham with his "real-world supercar" to Instagram.
Mario Balotelli's Camo-Car
Italian Soccer-Star Mario Balotelli bought a Bentley Continental in 2012 and then personalized it with a camouflage-print wrap. The estimated value of the Bentley is $175,700-215,000. He was in a car crash with an unidentified woman, while driving the Bentley, in 2012. The car was further defaced when a Manchester United fan sprayed fresh urine on the vehicle.
There are reports that Balotelli sold the car in 2013, but he told Sports Illustrated that he gave the car to his teammate, Urby Emmanuel. His teammate took off the custom finish, returning the car to its standard white.
