Kanye West received a Lamborghini Aventador

Given to him by his wife, Kim, on the occasion of his 35th birthday, Kanye West received a Lamborghini Aventador costing around US$750,000. Wouldn’t you like to have a wife, or husband for that matter this rich and generous? Of course you would want to but as circumstances would have it, you might have to wait for a long time. Nevertheless, Kanye is so lucky to have a wife Kim who would want to add the latter’s car collection inside his garage. The master rapper’s other cars include a Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss, Mercedes SLR McLaren, Aston Martin DB9, and Mercedes Maybach. In addition to the expensive gift given to him by his wife, Kanye West’s garage already contains a Lamborghini Gallardo. The garage is a pretty awesome sight for regular people once they see the cars of the couple inside.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Jerry Seinfeld is love-struck with a German car

If Nicolas Cage has a long-standing love affair with Italian cars, comedian Jerry Seinfeld is love-struck with a German car. Of his 10-car strong collection, 8 of those were Porsches and 1 is a Volkswagen.  The remaining 1 is a Fiat. One of his most prized possessions is a Porsche 959, which is one of the rarest classic supercars models that are still in tiptop condition today. The famous comedian and TV actor reportedly bought the 959 at an auction for around US$700,000. His other Porsches include a 1955 Porsche 550 RS which has an estimated value of US$60,000-US$3 million and 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS with costs around US$500,000-$1.4 million. He also has a 1964 Porsche 911 which he bought at US$400,000 and had it restored by Cavaglieri Restorations for about US$250,000. Anyone could have purchased a couple of regular family cars with the restoration cost alone.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Celebrity who’s an avid car collector

Nicolas Cage

Another celebrity who’s an avid car collector and reportedly blew part of his fortune away on expensive cars is Nicolas Kim Coppola, popularly known as Nicolas Cage. The crown jewel of his collection is a Ferrari Enzo which he reportedly bought for US$670,000. Named after the automaker’s founder, Enzo Anselmo Giuseppe Maria Ferrari, the car is one of the most sought after by serious car collectors. Cage has often been seen around town driving this dream Ferrari. Perhaps owing to his ancestry, his love for Italian cars seemingly knows no bounds as he also bought two other Ferraris besides the Enzo. These are the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT and the 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB. Aside from these cars, Cage also owns a 2001 Lamborghini Diablo and 1971 Lamborghini Miura SVJ which once belonged to the Shah of Iran.

James Douglas Muir “Jay” Leno owns 181 cars

James Douglas Muir “Jay” Leno owns 181 cars but he admits the two cars closest to his heart are his McLaren F1 and Mercedes SLR McLaren. Leno paid close to a million dollars for the McLaren F1 while he bought his Mercedes SLR McLaren for approximately US$500,000. Though he did say that he would save the Mercedes SLR McLaren and McLaren F1 in case of a fire or flood, it seems he also is a Lamborghini man. How so? His collection of 181 cars includes several Miuras, a Countach, and an Espada. He reportedly paid US$215,000 for his 1986 Lamborghini Countach. He also has several good old American muscle cars like the Oldsmobile Toronado and a 1963 Chrysler Turbine.

Rick Ross

William Leonard Roberts II, known by his professional name as Rick Ross is the proud owner of the Maybach 57, touted as among the fastest luxury cars today. The rapper-actor reportedly paid a total price of US$430,000 for his Maybach 57. It’s not known why Rick Ross chose the Maybach 57 for his use. Perhaps he was attracted by the rear-seat DVD entertainment system or maybe he likes to feel the thump of the 21-speaker Bose premium sound system in his Maybach. He also has a Bentley Continental and a Rolls-Royce Ghost to round out the luxury segment of his fleet. Whatever the reason is, Rick Ross always likes to share the good life and invest in his car collection which also included an Aston Martin DB7 and a customized Lamborghini Murcielago LP640-4 Roadster.
