BG015/Bauer-Griffin // Getty Images Some celebrities are low-key and choose to drive the same cars as you and me. Justin Timberlake famously cruises around town in a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta to avoid unwanted attention while going about his day. Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg is often seen driving an Acura TSX. Others, however, swing in the opposite direction and are out and about in rides so lavish that one has to wonder if celebrities really do try to one-up each other. There’s Drake’s 2010 “Sang Noir” (Black Blood) Bugatti Veyron, one of only 12 ever made, costing around $2.2 million. Lady Gaga has not one but two Rolls-Royce Phantoms, which cost $460,000 apiece. And Missy Elliott has multiple Lamborghinis to her name. For many, it’s not enough to just have an outrageously expensive car–they have to distinguish themselves further by customizing it. Will.i.am’s 1958 Volkswagen Beetle was designed from the ground up and set the artist back $900,000. He’s also designed a one-off Mercedes-AMG that debuted at a Formula One race in Miami in 2022. Flo Rida shelled out $1.7 million on his Bugatti Veyron before spending even more to wrap it in gold down to the 24-karat rims. For celebs such as these, the sky and their imaginations truly are the limit. And, for the car enthusiasts out there, CoPilot researched pop stars with expensive taste in cars and spotlighted 10 with some of the coolest collections. The cost of the cars are estimated values and the year of the car is provided where information is available. Rihanna Kevin Winter // Getty Images It is telling that Rihanna’s Chevrolet Suburban LTZ, which costs around $50,000, is considered cheap compared to the other cars in her collection. Many of them have price tags close to or even higher than half a million dollars, including her Lamborghini Aventador ($507,000). Her Maybach 57S is estimated to have cost $500,000, while her Cadillac Escalade goes for about $75,000. Her Ferrari 458 Italia costs an estimated $239,000. She has two Porsches, both valued at $160,000: a Porsche 911 Turbo S and a Porsche 997 Turbo. Particularly unique is the singer’s Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss Edition, which is one of only 75 made and costs a cool $1 million. Missy Elliott Josh Brasted // Getty Images Missy Elliott’s car collection is worth somewhere north of $7 million. She has multiple Lamborghinis, including a $223,600 Lamborghini Diablo; a $517,770 Lamborghini Aventador; and two Lamborghini Gallardos, each costing $202,000. She also has a Bentley Continental GT ($202,500), a Ferrari 458 Italia ($245,000), and a Rolls-Royce Phantom ($450,000). Two models, in particular, are as rare as they are expensive: her Lexus LFA is one of only 500 sold and costs an estimated $517,800. And her Spyker C8 Spyder, costing $209,990, is known for its “odd blend of sensual curves and rigid straight lines.” The most expensive car in the “Work It” rapper’s garage is her Ferrari Enzo, estimated at $3,727,800. Britney Spears SMXRF/Star Max // Getty Images The “Ghost” singer can’t seem to choose whether Lamborghinis, Ferraris, or Mercedes-Benzes are his favorite type of car. He purchased a Lamborghini Aventador, which sells for about $421,350, as an 18th birthday gift to himself in 2018, before upping the price tag even more by wrapping it in a custom teal color. His least expensive Lamborghini is a $209,000 Gallardo Spyder, while his most expensive Mercedes-Benz is a $400,000 Mercedes-Maybach S-600. His Ferrari F430 likely cost at least $180,000; his Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, $250,000. More recently, he has been seen driving an orange $240,000 Lamborghini Huracán. Flo Rida Emma McIntyre // Getty Images Flo Rida–whose real name is Tramar Dillard–seems to favor Ferraris and Rolls-Royces, as he has two of each. His first was a red and black Ferrari California, estimated to cost $196,450. He then moved on to a Ferrari 458 Italia, which cost around $245,000. Later, he obtained two Rolls-Royces: a Rolls-Royce Wraith ($330,000) and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan ($348,500). The most expensive car in Flo Rida’s garage is his Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which cost $1.7 million. If that wasn’t enough, the rapper upped the money he poured into the car even more by getting it wrapped in 24-karat gold in 2020, which upped the value to $2.7 million.
