Celebrities making millions of dollars can afford to splurge on some of the most expensive cars in the world.
Have you ever wondered how much your favorite celebrity is worth? What car do they drive? The model and its top speed? How about how much it costs?! Some of these celebrities you see on television drive some of the most expensive vehicles in the world. Some celebrities prefer antiques, while others prefer the newest hi-tech speed demons.
Vehicles become monumental status symbols once a world-renowned person lays their hands on them. These people are blessed with the connections and money to get and buy anything they desire; some of them have their cars custom-built to fit their heart’s desires. And for that, they pay a fortune.
10 Jay Leno – 1994 McLaren F1 (Est. $12M)
