P Diddy spent $360,000 on this beauty for its passenger comfort. After all, you don’t drive a Maybach, you get chauffeured in a Maybach. What makes this spend even more intolerable is that he didn’t even buy it for himself, he bought it as a first car for his son.
8. David Beckham’s Roll Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
Rolls Royce has been representative of luxury for a long time, and Beckham’s $407,000 Coupe is no exception. It has a 6.75L V12 engine and does 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds. It is a luxury car though, so it only goes 150 mph.
Jay Leno is a car lover, with around 300 cars and motorbikes to his name. It’s 5.4L engine generates a whopping 620 HP! Your unlikely to be able to pick up one of these bad boys for yourself though, as only 3500 were made and each costs $500,000!
The Enzo was made to mark Ferrari’s Formula 1 success, and the only people allowed to buy one were specially selected by Ferrari’s management. It’s 650 HP V12 engine allows it to go from 0 to 60 mph in a little over 3 seconds. Although this car only set Cage back $670,000 at the time, it’d fetch over $1 million now, as only 400 were ever made.
In a production model that doesn’t seem great for business at first glance, Porsche spent more money building each 959 than they sold them for. The 959 is one of the rarest Porsche models, and has a 2.85 L engine which can reach top speeds of over 200 mph, which was unheard of when it was produced in the late 80s. Jerry got his hands on this monster for $700,000.
Kanye’s custom Aventador was a present from his wife Kim, who paid $750,000 for this flashy, futuristic looking Lambo. It has a 6.5 L V12 engine which puts out 700 HP, and goes from 0 to 60 mph in less than three seconds. Impressive.
The Hennessey Venom GT is most famous for battling Bugatti for the title of the fastest car in the world, and the Hennessey took the title with a top speed of 270 mph. Speed like that doesn’t come cheap though, with Steven Tyler paying $1.1 million for the Spider.
Although not quite as flashy as some of the others on this list, the Bugatti Veyron held the title of fastest car in the world for quite a while. The car goes from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds, and set Cowell back a hefty $1.7 million.
The Maybach Exelero’s 700HP V12 engine reaches 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, slowed a little by its mammoth weight of 2.6 tonnes. It still has a maximum speed of 220 mph, and definitely tops out this list in terms of cost, with Jay Z forking out $8 million for his Maybach.
