Top Women Car Collectors in the World

Top Women Car Collectors in the World

When we talk about car enthusiasts or car collectors, we rarely give women the attention they deserve. This is primarily because the automobile industry has always been dominated by male collectors. They are the ones found bidding for luxury cars in auctions, and usually, they are the ones who flaunt their supercar collection. But we are in a modern world now; this conventional landscape is gradually changing. Women collectors are in the market as well, and they are making quite a name for themselves. Classic cars are a symbol of status and wealth for the elite. Therefore, when it comes to collecting vintage cars – the girls are not much behind. Here is a list of 5 top women car collectors, who have shown us that fancy cars are not only reserved for the boys. 

Kate Moss

You might remember Kate Moss from her exuberant fashion shows or chic photoshoots. Kate Moss became a modeling sensation after teaming up with Calvin Klein. But we have news for you – apart from boasting an impressive modeling career, she is also a car enthusiast and a vintage car collector. She has the highly sought-after 1979 Rolls Royce. Kate Moss is regularly seen with the vintage Rolls Royce Shadow II in the streets of the UK. She also has a Porsche Panamera and a VW Beetle that she regularly flaunts in front of her fans. 
Kate Moss was also the recipient of the Porsche 911, a gift she received from Sir Phillip Green. When she is not driving vintage cars, she is usually seen in her comfy Range Rover. 
 

Beyonce Knowles 

Beyonce Knowles, AKA Queen Bey is our second name on this list. Known across the showbiz for her glamour and uncanny choice, it is no wonder that she has one of the best car collections on this list. Beyonce, along with her spouse Jay Z owns the world’s most expensive car; the Rolls Royce Boat Tail. With a hefty price tag of 20 million dollars, the power couple is the proud owner of this supercar. 

Courtney Hanson 

A surprise entry to our list – acclaimed author, model, and TV show host, Courtney Hanson is another woman car collector. Known for her exquisite taste in both fashion and cars, Courtney is a household name in the automotive industry. She has hosted numerous automobile TV shows, and maybe this was what piqued her interest in this sector. Her book ‘The Garage Girl’s Guide To Everything You Need To Know About Your Car’ speaks volumes about her love for cars. Apart from her enthusiasm for cars, she is also a celebrated female car collector. 
She has a personal inventory of various vintage cars, the most notable one being the 1970 Ford Mustang. She is a regular on various TV shows related to supercars and is always on the hunt to expand her car collection. 
 

Kylie Jenner

One of the most famous Kardashian-Jenners, the next person on our list is none other than Kylie Jenner. Enjoying a whopping wealth of 700 million dollars, and the title of world’s youngest billionaire (her net worth declined after reaching that milestone), she is not the most surprising inclusion in this list. Kylie has a fleet of cars at her disposal with her Lamborghini Aventador being the most famous piece. She is known to possess a car collection worth 5 million dollars. The cherry on top is definitely her pink Rolls Royce, with which she regularly posts her pictures on Instagram.

Ellen DeGeneres 

The last person on our blog is none other than Ellen DeGeneres. Known across the globe for her late-night TV Show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, Ellen has accumulated a fortune from her showbiz career. When she is not listening to music or playing tennis, she is found exploring her car collection. She has a collection of 8 luxury cars, with the Porsche 911 Tagra being the most famous one. Along with a lot of other Porsches, she also has a Ferrari California, that she regularly uses. Overall, she has a car collection worth $1.5 million. 
If you previously thought that the car collection was only for men, we hope that you know by now that it is not the case anymore. Women are gearing up (no pun intended) to make a name in this sector as well.

Following are tales of ambition, passion and tragedy, which artfully demonstrate the love of man and machine.

Hitch-hiking (L’autostop) (1991)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

In a world where people are constantly looking for the next best thing, it is hard to be content with what you have. This is especially true in the world of cars. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was all about exotic cars. They were fast, powerful, and expensive. But by the time we got to 1991, there was a new trend in town: classic cars.

The 1991 movie Hitch Hiking is about two men who are on a quest to find their perfect classic car before they turn 30 years old. It is an interesting movie because it shows how different people can have such different priorities when it comes to buying a car.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This Russian flick is the story of an Italian driver, traveling from Italy to Russia in a brand-new Fiat Tempra. Seducing several women along the way, he decides to pick up a pregnant hitchhiker waiting at the side of the road in the harsh Russian winter. Originally intended to be a short promotional film for the car, this ended up as a fortunate little accident and one of the best car films of all time.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
