Price: $400,000The Porsche 911 was introduced in 1964, and Seinfeld’s was the first one imported to the U.S., as well as the one built for Ferry Porsche (the son of Porsche’s founder). It has a sunroof, leather seats, metallic paint (as specified by Ferry Porsche) and after Seinfeld bought it, he sent it back to the factory to be restored with original parts. This cost an additional $250,000.

Price: $407,000David Beckham is not only one of the most famous soccer players in the world, he’s also known as a man with impressive cars. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is one of the most coveted cars in the world, plus Beckham’s was customized with heavily tinted windows and 24-inch black rims. Most of Beckham’s cars are black, and this one was no exception. After buying it in 2008 and springing for more customizations, Beckham sold it in 2012. Fun fact: This car will go from 0 to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds, but only gets around 11 miles per gallon.

Price: $421,145The Bieber is known for his love of Lamborghinis, and this one is exceptional, reportedly one of his favorite cars. He had it custom painted matte aqua, a rare color for these.
Price: $495,900For heiress Paris Hilton’s 30th birthday, she received a white 2012 Lexus LFA, a real-life supercar. In February 2020, it was announced that the very same car was up for sale in Cincinnati. With 3,930 miles on the odometer, it seems that Hilton didn’t drive this one much.
Price: $500,000A whole book could be (and probably has been) written about Jay Leno’s many flashy cars. In fact, Leno has a whole YouTube channel dedicated to his garage. Compared to the price of other rides owned by Leno, $500,000 is pocket change. The Countach, which Leno’s YouTube channel calls “the supercar of the 80s” is a sleek red color beauty and was designed by Italian legend Marcello Gandini.
Price: $670,000When Cage bought his 12-cylinder red Ferrari Enzo in 2002, it was almost $700,000. After some financial issues in 2009, he sold it. Today, these are going for upwards of $3 million. Alas!
Price: $700,000At $700,000, this Porsche is not the most expensive car on this list, but it is banned on U.S. roads. Only 337 of these were made and they have a top speed of 197 mph. Jerry Seinfeld’s love of cars is legendary, as is this car.

Price: $997,000The 1977 James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me” featured a 1976 Lotus Esprit that doubled as a submarine. Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought one of the models actually used in the movie for a little under a million dollars and is said to have used it as a design inspiration for Tesla’s all-electric pickup truck.

Price: $1 millionReportedly a gift from husband Jay-Z, this Rolls-Royce convertible is something special. It was the core Rolls-Royce model between 1955-1966, has a 6.2-liter engine, and goes from 0-60 miles per hour in 10 seconds. There’s also a dreamy blue leather interior.
Price: $1.3 million Only 15 models of the Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir were produced in the company’s French factory. So, it’s perhaps unsurprising that super-rapper Drake would buy one. However, it was rumored in 2018 that he had put it up for sale — with so few similar cars out there (and only one in Canada, where Drake hails from), the chances are high that it was.

Price: $3 millionTom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a garage full of impressive cars that he might have a little more time to drive now that he’s retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive is his Bugatti Veyron, valued at $3 million. Only 450 Veyrons were produced in 10 years, and they can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. It tops out at 268 mph and has a few other famous owners including Tom Cruise and Jay-Z.
Price: $8 millionFeatured in his music video “Lost One,” this car is truly one-of-a-kind. Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z’s 99 problems.
Price: $22 millionOf all Leno’s vehicles, the McLaren F1 is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made.
