Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe $400K David Beckham is another British pop icon. Venerated nationally as England’s best footballer, he’s also a super-successful fashion icon and model. He legendarily married Posh Spice at the height of Spice Girl-mania. As a Manchester United player, he was well-compensated for his athletic supremacy becoming the highest-paid footballer in 2013 and grossing $50 million for a single season.
He put the money to good use. Check out this Rolls Royce Phantom Drop Head. Naturally, he chose to drive a British, ahem, the British luxury brand. If it’s good enough for the Queen of England, it’s perfect for Beckham and Victoria. It is the most expensive model Rolls Royce offers. With the amount of rain in England, it’s a little surprising he chose the convertible, but “Beckingham Palace” is not their only digs, they own beautiful properties all around Europe.
Kanye West
Mercedes SLR $850K Of course, Kanye loves his Lambo from ex-wife Kim, but Kanye West and Kim Kardashian own a fleet of exotic supercars and other priceless vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz SLR, however, is very special, indeed. It’s his “other, other Mercedes,” but not exactly. It’s what you get when you cross a McLaren with a Mercedes, namely, an American-British masterpiece. It’s a rare find. Called a light sports racer, the very last one was produced in 2010. The speed demon is powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8. It’s a 5-speed, and it’s lightning-fast.
The high-class performance takes the SLR from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Luckily, it’s got a high-tech brake system to slow it down. It holds a special place in Kanye’s heart, even though he’s owned it pre-Kim when he was still dating Amber Rose. (Drama. Gotta have it). Kanye showed off the exclusive McLaren SLR Stirling Moss edition at an AIDS charity gala in Cannes back in 2011. The nearly one-million-dollar gorgeous machine-turned lots of heads. It’s so sleek it doesn’t even have a windshield! (Helmets for protection?)
Simon Cowell
Bugatti Veyron $1.7 Million World-famous TV star Simon Cowell lords over the reality TV talent circuit. He’s been a judge at American Idol, Britain’s Got Talent, Pop Idol and America’s Got Talent. Now, the British celeb quick with an abrasive dig serves as the judge at his very own The X Factor. Long story short, he’s rich. He made The Sunday Times, Britain’s largest newspaper’s “Rich List,” clocking in with a net worth of £325 million. So, it makes sense he picked up a Veyron, the world’s most expensive car. By now, he’s trimmed the Bugatti from his massive exotic car stockpile.
He purchased the stunning custom black 2008 custom Bugatti Veyron for $1.7 million and got rid of it, in mint condition, for $1.375 million. He told Ellen DeGeneres he only drove the French engineering masterpiece twice. He must have let his friends take a spin because the high-end hypercar registered 1,300 miles on the odometer.
Tom Hardy
Audi R8 Spyder $160K As a self-described “Audi boy,” Tom Hardy dotes over his custom matte black Audi. He loves the maker so much he took the Audi RS 5 Cabriolet for a test-drive at The Auto Channel. What a treat for Audi. At least he didn’t drive it like the Marvel action superheroes he plays! Hardy has a nice assortment of these well-crafted German automobiles. Besides the Audi R8, he owns an Audi Q5. Naturally, he kept the vehicle he test-drove, the Audi RS 5 convertible, in red.
He says it’s the perfect car to get you from point A to point B in “comfort and class.” Hardy admits that he wears his North Face jacket while driving through London’s fog with the top down. His Audi R8 Spyder is also a convertible. The car rivals the Porsche 911 in speed and acceleration. Its safety features are top of the line. So is the Spyder. The price tag for the Spyder is $160,000. His R8 has a V8. It’s Audi’s version of the supercar.
Chris Brown
Lamborghini Aventador $450K Chris Brown is a Grammy-winning entertainer who has sold over 120 million records. That was enough for the celeb to step it up with a Lamborghini Aventador. He purchased his supercar in 2015. At $450,000, it’s one of the most expensive rides. The Lamborghini “fighting bull” is a fierce performance machine built for roaring speeds and immaculate handling, but it’s not the most expensive Lambo. That award goes to the Lamborghini Veneno, a $4.5 million supercar that’s even more powerful than an Aventador. It’s the rarest and most expensive Lambo ever - only 14 were built. But back to Brown’s beauty. Sadly, one of his friends totaled it in Beverly Hills.
He Instagram’d the news, saying, in 2017, “Breezy is ok.” The twisted metal carcass was totally redone. He had the boys down at RDB LA transform his matte black wrecked Lambo into a sparkling eye-popper. Breezy ordered it gold-wrapped. Instead of new paint, it looks like it’s entirely redone in gold chrome. It’s shiny! All the way down to its gold Forgiato wheels. None of his friends have keys to the car any longer.
