Many stars in the world have the most impressive car collections of all, not only expensive but also rare and hard to find.
Many famous people own car collections worth millions, hundreds of millions of dollars
Gordon Ramsay
If comedian Jay Leno did not buy a Ferrari because he was afraid of the company’s dealers, famous chef Gordon Ramsay, one of the judges on Master Chef, did not hesitate.

In addition, he also has a Ford GT, Porsche 918 Spyder and Land Rover Defender 110 SVX ‘Spectre’ JB24 that were used in the James Bond movie “Spectre” (photo) – Photo: James Bond Lifestyle
He also quite likes convertibles. In addition to the Monza SP2, Ramsay also has a BAC Mono inspired by F1 racing cars, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds – Photo: GQ
Kanye West
American rapper, ex-husband of Kim Kardashian, owns a car collection as unpredictable as his personality.

He also owns rare performance cars like Mercedes-Mclaren SLR Sterling Moss – Photo: Reddit
But the strangest are probably the two Dartz Prombron Red Diamond Edition cars, giant bulletproof SUVs. Priced at 1.2 million USD/unit, they have gold-plated windows, military tires, white gold clock cluster with ruby accents – Photo: IETP
Lewis Hamilton
As one of the highest paid racing drivers, it’s no surprise that Lewis Hamilton has an impressive car collection totaling about $15 million.
Most are supercars, one of the most high-end is a custom Pagani Zonda with the same model name as his own initials, 760 LH. But he didn’t seem to like the Zonda very much when he criticized the car as “terrible”. Maybe that’s why he sold it for up to 4 million USD – Photo: Road & Track
Some other impressive cars in the collection include Ferrari LaFerrari (pictured), Mercedes-AMG Project One inspired by F1 technology… – Photo: Pinterest
The most expensive is the 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra, worth about 4 million USD, because it is so rare and has a legendary status in the automobile industry. Famous racer Carroll Shelby himself confirmed that Hamilton’s car is original – Photo: Pinterest
There are so many great products, but when commuting every day, Hamilton drives an unexpected car: the “tiny” electric Smart Fortwo – Photo: Smart
Lionel Messi
Not only is he one of the greatest players of all time, Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi also has one of the greatest car collections compared to most other athletes.
With an annual salary of approximately 75 million USD, Messi has more than enough means to spend on the most expensive items, but he is a connoisseur of classics.
The most valuable car in Messi’s garage is the 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, worth up to 36 million USD – Photo: Goal
He also owns a number of “less expensive” Ferraris including an F430 Spider (pictured) and a trio of high-end Audis as daily cars – Photo: Essentially Sports
Like Lewis Hamilton, Messi also owns a Zonda Tricolore worth more than 2 million USD. But it seems that he has not registered the car, so he has never driven it on public roads. It’s unclear if the car is allowed to drive on civil roads in his hometown – Photo: YouTube
When not interested in collecting classic and contemporary cars, Messi can be found sitting in one of the luxury SUVs: Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe (photo) – Photo: GQ
Justin Bieber
Canadian pop star Justin Bieber rose to fame at a very young age and also soon became a major car collector. The car collection is estimated to be worth more than $4 million, a fraction of his $285 million net worth.
Justin Bieber was allegedly blacklisted by Ferrari when he lost his 458 Italia (the blue one in the photo) after a drunken night in Beverly Hills. He also “violated” the Italian car company by modifying the 458 Italia and F430 – Photo: Justin Bieber/Instagram
But if the blacklist is real, Bieber doesn’t have to worry about anything because his garage is full of other expensive cars: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport (pictured), customized Rolls-Royce… – Photo: Motorious
Strangely, he also owns a Smart Fortwo – Photo: Motorious
Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren is one of the best fashion designers in history. But if not every shirt he designs can be worn, his garage is certainly full of cars that are considered works of art.
Many of his cars are so rare that it is difficult to estimate their value. However, it is certain that the value of the car collection is up to hundreds of millions of dollars, because 250 GTOs alone are worth about 70 million USD based on previous auction results.
The “gems” in the garage include: Bugatti 57SC Atlantic Coupe (one of three remaining in the world, photo above ), Ferrari 250 GTO (once the most expensive car ever sold), Mercedes-Benz Benz SSK “Count Trossi” (only 40 units ever produced, photo ) – Photo: Motorious
In addition, Lauren also owns many other super rare cars, such as Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Spyder (pictured), Ferrari 375 Plus, Lamborghini Reventón… – Photo: Motorious
Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers on the planet. With a career spanning nearly 25 years, he has written so many song lyrics that he had to Google them to make sure he didn’t duplicate his own! However, he won’t have trouble remembering what’s in the garage, as he owns some of the most desirable performance cars in the world.
One of the highlights in the car collection is the Bugatti Veyron. He calls himself “Bugatti’s Barack Obama”, because he is the first black rapper to buy a car from this brand – Photo: The Supercar Blog
Whether it’s true or just to brag, Wayne is certainly one of the car trendsetters in rap music. He is also Maybach’s first black rapper customer, the desire of every famous rapper, from Jay-Z to Birdman – Photo: Autoevolution
In recent years, Wayne has continued to add to his collection a McLaren 720S worth $400,000
