Celebrity cars are no different. The rich and famous want the best vehicles to retain their status and brand. Here's a look at some of the stars' leanest, meanest, rarest cars in the world — and their massive price tags
MAYBACH EXELERO: $8 MILLION - Jay-Z
Jay-Z has the most expensive car in the couple's collection: a rare $8 million Maybach Exelero. The car's unusually long lines and black paint job make it look like a modern-day Batmobile. Fittingly, it sports a twin-turbocharged V-12 engine, can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 218 mph. If Jay isn't fighting crime in this thing, he's really missing an opportunity
BUGATTI LA VOITURE NOIRE: $18.9 MILLION - Cristiano Ronaldo
In 2019, Bugatti confirmed that it had found a buyer for a custom-built hypercar designed in honor of the famed automaker’s 110th birthday. With a price tag approaching $19 million, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire earned the distinction of being the world’s most expensive car. Although the buyer of the blacked-out, quad-turbocharged 8-liter, W16 one-off remains secret, media outlets both in the U.S. and Europe reported on speculation that it was soccer great and high-end car collector Cristiano Ronaldo
BUGATTI TYPE 57SC ATLANTIC: $40 MILLION - Ralph Lauren
Someone surprising is also on the Bugatti bandwagon: Ralph Lauren. The fashion mogul's 1930s, black 57SC Atlantic is far rarer than the Veyron, however. There are only two 57SCs still in existence, one is in the Mullin Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and one belongs to Lauren. Its $40 million price tag makes it one of the most expensive celebrity cars of all time.
Lauren's roadster isn't just cool to look at, with its unique, tear-drop shaped body, kidney-shaped doors and riveted fins; it's also considered the world's first supercar, meaning a high-performance sports car that is street legal. According to SuperCars.net, "The Type 57SC chassis was the combination of the supercharged 57C engine with the low and short 57S chassis used for racing." In other words, it's powerful.
