Car collecting has been a pastime since the first vehicles became widely available in the 1900s, and, for decades, automakers have competed against one another to see who can captivate the public with the best and brightest model. Hundreds of millions of people love cars, but only a few have the money to pursue collecting them.

The celebrities on this list are all heavy hitters in Hollywood, and each one has managed to rack up quite the car collection. From talk show hosts like Jay Leno to singers like Beyonce, these celebrities have collected cars from labels like Tesla, Bugatti, Ferrari, Porsche, and more.

1. Ralph Lauren

Size of Collection: Over 70*
Est. Total Value: $300 million*

At New York Fashion Week in 2017, we got to see not only Ralph Lauren’s designs, but also his impressive car collection. The design mogul has a collection of more than seventy vehicles that range from rare vintage racers to exotic hypercars. The designer is known for only buying cars from brands he likes, not just purchasing cars that are popular at the time.

Among his collection are eleven Ferraris, five Bugattis, and five Jaguars. Ralph Lauren also owns vintage vehicles like the 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK and 1933 Bugatti Type 59 Grand Prix. In addition to having a massive net worth, Lauren was able to afford his car collection because he began collecting in the 1970s and 1980s before prices skyrocketed.

2. Lady Gaga

Size of Collection: 11*
Est. Total Value: $14.2 million*

Lady Gaga has dazzled both on the charts and in the box office, and she is one of the most successful singers of all time. The songstress is also, as her fans know, a car collector. She owns eleven cars and trucks, and she’s proven herself to be a bit of a vintage car buff.

Of course, the “Bad Romance” singer owns flashy vehicles like the Audi R8, Porsche Boxster, and her beloved Lamborghini Huracan (which she once drove from Malibu to Houston), but she also owns a blue Chevy Nova SS and a pink Cadillac De Ville that was once owned by the King himself, Elvis Presley.

3. John Cena

Size of Collection: 21*
Est. Total Value: $1-$5 million*

Wrestler John Cena brings a lot of muscle into the ring and on the big screen, so it only makes sense that his car collection would comprise mostly muscle cars. “Muscle cars,” for those who don’t know, refer to cars produced from the 1960s and 1970s onward. These cars are usually two-door production cars with huge V8 engines, flared fenders, large hood scoops, and wide tires (though some characteristics may vary).

Highlights from Cena’s muscle car collection include the 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger 426, 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro, the 2006 Ford GT, the 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones Limited Edition, and the 2013 Custom Corvette CR InCINErator.

4. Paris Hilton

Size of Collection: 8*
Est. Total Value: $1.5 million*

Fashion designer and socialite Paris Hilton loves the glitz and glam, and we’re not surprised to see that her car collection reflects that. Hilton has been spotted in Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but she says her Lexus LFA is her favorite supercar to drive, as the $350,000 car has a 0 to 60 time of 3.5 seconds.

When you look inside Hilton’s private garage, you’ll see a lot of luxury cars, including the McLaren MP4-12C Spider, McLaren 650S, Rolls Royce Ghost, and Ferrari California. You’ll also see a GMC Yukon Hybrid, which might not have the luxury name-power of a Ferrari or Rolls Royce but will still set you back around $54,000.

5. The Sultan of Brunei

Size of Collection: 5,000*
Est. Total Value: $5 billion*

When former President Barack Obama visited the Sultan of Brunei, he joked that the royal should go shopping in America to help boost the economy. President Obama had a point, as the Sultan is worth $20 billion, thanks to his rule over the oil-rich country of Brunei.

The Sultan has a car collection of not hundreds, but thousands of vehicles. His collection numbers 5,000, and all of his cars are housed in a palatial garage. The Sultan owns 300 Ferraris, 11 McLaren F1s, 600 Rolls Royces, 20 Koenigseggs, and six Porches, among thousands of others. The car collection is estimated to be worth $5 billion, making it the most expensive on this list.  

6. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Size of Collection: 10*
Est. Total Value: $1-$5 million*

From wrestling to mega-blockbusters like the Jumanji remake, Dwayne Johnson has been wowing us for decades. The Rock’s net worth is nearly $200 million, and he’s spent a chunk of that on his car collection, which consists of a pretty varied group of vehicles, from daily drivers to high-end hypercars.

The Rock’s car collection includes a Ford F-150 and 2017 GT. He also owns a Plymouth Prowler and a 1971 Chevy Chevelle, proving that he’s a fan of vintage vehicles. His more luxurious cars include a Rolls Royce Wraith, Lamborghini Huracan, Ferrari LaFerrari, and Pagani Huayra. His car collection is estimated to be worth anywhere from $1 to $5 million.

7. David Beckham

Size of Collection: 21*
Est. Total Value: $4.05 million*

David Beckham is one of the most famous soccer stars in the world, even in retirement. He has piles of money, thanks to his championship wins and endorsements, and he’s built up an impressive car collection as a result. His prized models range from vintage Aston Martins to high-end Rolls Royces.

Beckham owns models like the Rolls-Royce Phantom DropHead Coupe, Bentley Mulsanne, McLaren Spider, Cadillac Escalade, Audi S8, and Chevy Camaro SS, among others. The car collection is worth over $4 million, and it has twenty-one models to its name, many of which sport custom paint and finish jobs designed by Beckham himself.

8. Jerry Seinfeld

Size of Collection: 150*
Est. Total Value: $50-$150 million*

Of all the names on this list, Jerry Seinfeld is perhaps the celebrity best known for being an avid car collector. The Seinfeld creator competes with Jay Leno for the most expansive, expensive car collection, and he owns 150 vehicles. Though that is less than the amount Leno owns, the value of Seinfeld’s collection rivals the talk show host’s.

Seinfeld has a penchant for Porsches, and he owns models dating back to the 1940s. Seinfeld’s Porsches range from a 1949 Porsche 356/2 Gmund to a 2014 Spyder, the latter of which the NBC star said was in the top three of the “fastest cars in the world.”

9. Kendall Jenner

Size of Collection: 5*
Est. Total Value: $500,000-$700,000*

Just like the rest of her famous family, supermodel Kendall Jenner loves luxury cars—and she has the money to afford them, too. The reality star has been a fan of vintage cars since she was young, and she’s been driving around in them since her teenage years.

She owns a vintage red Mustang convertible, estimated at anywhere from $45,000-$110,000, and a 1957 Corvette Stingray, which costs about $135,000. Though she loves vintage vehicles, Jenner also has a Range Rover, Camaro GTO, and Audi Convertible in her garage, bringing the value of her car collection up to $500,000-$700,000.

10. Ellen Degeneres

Size of Collection: 8*
Est. Total Value: $1.5 million*

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has a net worth of $370 million, thanks to the decades that she’s spent hosting her eponymous talk show. Though she’s retired now, she still keeps busy, and she can drive to and from her speaking engagements in her eight cars.

Her car collection is estimated to be worth around $1.5 million, which is pocket change compared to her net worth. You won’t see a Toyota in this collection, as DeGeneres loves Porsche. She owns a Porsche 933, 911, 977, Cayenne, Panamera, and Ferrari California. DeGeneres broke her Porsche pattern when she added a Land Rover Defender to the collection in 2014.

11. LeBron James

Size of Collection: 15*
Est. Total Value: $2.5 million*

Hall of Famer LeBron James has garnered a reputation as a rather frugal millionaire, despite his net worth of half a billion dollars. Despite this reputation, there is one thing that the NBA star doesn’t mind spending money on: cars. He owns a fleet of fifteen cars, all of which are worth around $2.5 million.

James’ garage contains supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador, a Porsche, two Maybachs (one of which has the vanity plate “KNG OF OH”), a Rolls Royce, and three Ferraris. The pro-athlete also loves his cars colorful, and he repainted his Aventador in a floral paint job that matched the color scheme of his new Nike shoe, the LeBron XI Everglades. 

12. Patrick Dempsey

Size of Collection: 15*
Est. Total Value: $1-$5 million*

Patrick Dempsey is well-known for acting, but he also has quite a reputation as a racer. Dempsey even owns his own racing company, Dempsey Racing. So, it only makes sense that the Grey’s Anatomy actor would own an impressive car collection, consisting of fifteen cars worth between $1 and $5 million.

Dempsey owns rarities like the Panoz Esperante GT and vintage vehicles like the Jaguar XK120, 1963 Porsche 356, and Jaguar E-Type Coupe. For his daily driver, Dempsey prefers the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing, which he says, “doesn’t alienate people” and “brings [them] to have great appreciation [for the car].” 

13. Floyd Mayweather

Size of Collection: 100*
Est. Total Value: $1 billion*

According to Floyd Mayweather’s Instagram, which is always a fun ride into the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the boxer has “about 100 cars.” The estimated value of his car collection is a whopping $1 billion, as Mayweather loves luxury cars. He even has multiple models of the same high-end vehicle to keep at the different houses he owns.

Mayweather has a net worth of $1.2 billion, thanks to his undefeated boxing career and high-priced endorsements. On IG, the boxer showed off his “sweet 16,” which are his favorite cars of the collection. They included four Ferraris, a G-Wagon, five Rolls Royces, a McLaren, and a Bentley Coupe, among other sleek, million-dollar vehicles.

14. Beyonce Knowles

Size of Collection: 4*
Est. Total Value: $3 million*

Though Beyonce’s personal car collection might not be as numerous as her husband, Jay-Z’s, the singer still has some pretty impressive cars to her name, including a Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, Pagani Zonda F, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Limousine, and a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.

The Cloud is, no doubt, the Dreamgirls star’s crown jewel in her car collection. The Silver Cloud was produced from 1955 to 1966. Under 7,400 were produced, and Beyonce’s 1959 Cloud was a present from Jay-Z for her birthday. The Cloud is worth $1 million, and it’s the sparkliest addition to the couple’s garage which, when combined, has fifteen cars in total.
