Lamborghini Aventador $400K The performance machine designed for rocketing speed and steady handling is called the Lamborghini Aventador. In Italian, it means “fighting bull.” Nicki Minaj may be the only person in the world capable of making an aggressive bull blush. There are no words. The rap act Nicki Minaj, as she calls herself, flows into fashion modeling, acting, any genre of performing. She’s the most-followed rapper on Instagram, she’s been a judge on American Idol.
She’s a super-pop phenom who digs customizing the most virility-charged supercar into a Barbie convertible. Is it a statement of feminine strength and independence? Or a mortification of her gender? The entertainer has a few other options tucked away. A Range Rover, a Maybach, and a 1965 El Camino muscle car.
Steven Tyler
Hennessey Venom GT Spyder $1.1 Million Aerosmith classic rock icon Steven Tyler, composer of “Dude (Looks like A Lady)” and other rock ballads, could not have purchased a vehicle that better represents his personality. He was the first driver in the world to purchase a Hennessey Venom GT Spyder. The gorgeous machine, a glossy black curvy body packs a twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter V8 producing 1,200 horsepower and a ton of torque. Like a rocket, it hits 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The beauty debuted at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Tyler test-drove the Spyder and waited two hours before placing his order. After eight years of a wonderful relationship, the two have parted.
Tyler auctioned the sleek hypercar off to charity to raise medical research funds for our veterans. It was purchased for $800,000! The Good Samaritan originally paid $1.1 million for the Hennessey Venom. The craft was built by the Texas-based Hennessey Performance Engineering company which specializes in modifying supercars.
Gwen Stefani
Porsche Panamera $200K “Take this big ribbon off my eyes / I’m exposed, and it’s no big surprise.” Gwen Stefani is still just a girl performing her music two-plus decades after releasing No Doubt’s phenomenal album Tragic Kingdom. By now, Stefani has a nice fleet of fun cars to drive. The Southern California artist traded in her Italian Maserati to snag a $200K full-sized luxury Porsche Panamera model. Under the hood is a German-engineered 4.8-liter Twin Turbo 507 PS V8.
It’s like having the comfort of a Maserati in a Porsche. Now she has another Maserati, the amazing Quattroporte model. They call their luxury sedan a purveyor of “race-bred excitement.” It’s exciting because it’s fast and lavish. Rapturous. She also drives a Range Rover and a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. Those are two serious station wagons for shuttling the fam!
Tom Brady
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport $3 Million Tom Brady, the greatest pro football quarterback who ever lived, or at least the winningest quarterback in NFL history, hardly requires an introduction. Anti-Patriots fans defame his name and troll him on a daily basis, ostensibly, out of a lack of having a life. Brady has a great life. The health nut is married to German supermodel Gisele Bündchen who makes twice as much as he does and bought him a $3 million Bugatti Veyron Super Sport as a gift.
In 2017, Brady teamed up with the British Aston Martin luxury brand. He loves his Aston Martin, but the gear head doesn’t discriminate. He drives a Rolls Royce Ghost, Audi R8, and, of course, the Veyron.
John Cena
Ford GT $400K American pro wrestler and Twitter self-help guru John Cena is an entertainment pop star personality too. He’s got it all, this $460,000 liquid blue Ford GT to boot. Or had. When he sold it, he made more than $1 million more than he paid for it! Winner! Until he was slapped with a $75,000 lawsuit by Ford for selling it. America’s oldest carmaker, in an apparent hissy fit, complained that Cena’s high-profile celebrity discount on the limited-edition, 647 horsepower GT had been sorely disrespected. Ford won.
Cena settled for an undisclosed amount. He failed to notice the fine print, anti-flip clause he signed up for when he first purchased the supercar from Ford. In the industry, cushy deals with the rich and famous to buy and promote their brand on social media is more common than you think.
