When you hear the term sweet ride, it’s but normal to think of a flashy car. A luxury vehicle that costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. A car that everyone and their mother would absolutely drool over. Those associated with these super expensive cars are usually athletes or Hollywood entertainers, but those of the male variety. The term boys and their toys has never rung more true than when it comes to hot cars.
But surprise, surprise, it’s not just the men who indulge in badass rides. Many women have the means to buy their own luxury vehicles as well. In fact, many ladies in Hollywood, actresses, singers, and TV personalities alike, can afford expensive cars more than their male counterparts. Many celebs choose to live below their means by buying vehicles within the budget of the regular man on the street. But of course, what’s Hollywood without the flashy cars to make us all green with envy?
12 Paris Hilton (Bentley GT Continental)
She didn’t need to get into reality TV to earn money because she was already born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But Paris Hilton, heiress to the Hilton chain of hotels, chose to live the high profile life in the very limelight that eventually led to the tarnishing of her reputation, her numerous run-ins with the law being splashed on every tabloid and entertainment news site. But money certainly talks and no matter how she’s viewed, there’s no changing the fact that she’s loaded. To go with her very loud personality, Hilton bought herself a hot pink Bentley GT Continental in 2008, customizing it with a diamond-encrusted dashboard.
11 Kim Kardashian (Rolls Royce Phantom and Ferrari 430)
People either love her to bits or hate her with a passion. There’s no in-between for the likes of famous-for-nothing Kim Kardashian, who has built a multi-million-dollar empire from her reality show and her business ventures. Given the fact that she likes being the talk of the town, she also makes sure her stuff grabs headlines. Kardashian has been known to own a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Ferrari 430, which was a lavish wedding gift to her when she married Chris Humphries.
10 Mariah Carey (Mercedes Benz SLK)
Being one of the most successful recording artists in the world, Mariah Carey is also certainly one of the richest. She's about to get richer still, as she has just gotten engaged to billionaire James Packer. It's no secret that Mimi has always had expensive taste, as seen by the houses she's owned, the jewelry she wears (her engagement ring is a whopping 35-carat diamond ring), and the cars she drives. One of her many hot cars is a black Mercedes Benz SLK that was personalized with pink M's embroidered on the front seat headrests.
9 Jennifer Aniston (Bentley Continental GT)
Despite the fact that she has successfully forayed into movies, we'll always know Jennifer Aniston as the quirky and charming Rachel Green from the hit TV sitcom Friends. Since the successful show ended, Aniston has since become one of the most photographed women in Hollywood and an A-lister movie star, to boot. She's also worth over $100 million, which means she can very well afford the fanciest of cars. She was seen back in 2010 driving a sleek silver Bentley Continental GT.
8 Beyonce (Rolls Royce)
Together, Beyonce and Jay-Z's net worth is over $1 billion, making their one and only daughter Blue Ivy one privileged little princess. The couple definitely lives the high life, owning properties, luxury vehicles, designer clothes, jewelry, and being catered to by a staff full of employees and bodyguards. When she was pregnant with her daughter, Beyonce traded in her Maybach for a swanky $1 million black van. Jay-Z also gifted her with a two-door Rolls Royce.
7 Nicki Minaj (Lamborghini Aventador)
Given that her ever-changing hair color is pink majority of the times she appears in public, it's no surprise that Nicki Minaj favors the girly color for her luxury items as well. Back when she launched her K-Mart clothing line in 2013, the singer and rapper drove up to the launch event in a hot pink Lamborghini Aventador that's estimated to be worth around $400,000. The luxury car is an addition to Minaj's collection of pink vehicles, the others being a Bentley Continental and a Range Rover.
6 Victoria Beckham (Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Bentley GT)
Not only is she known as the wife of David Beckham and a member of the Spice Girls; Victoria Beckham is also notorious for her lavish lifestyle and extravagant taste in clothes and accessories. Her bag collection is to die for, as she’s said to own more than one Hermes Birkin bag, which costs at least $6,000 each. It’s no surprise that she owns some pretty pricey rides as well. Mrs. Beckham is known to own a Cadillac Escalade and a Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
5 Katie Price (Bugatti Veyron and Range Rover)
Many may wonder who Katie Price is. That’s because she was previously known by her pseudonym Jordan, a television personality and topless female glamour model as well. Given she used to flash the public with her rack, it’s no surprise that she’s got a flashy personality to match her line of work. Price owns two hot pink vehicles: a Range Rover and a Bugatti Veyron. Rumor has it, she had to pay an additional $160,000 for her Range Rover to be coated with the unusual shade it is today.
4 Britney Spears (Maserati Granturismo and Mercedes CLK)
Given that her net worth is approximately a whopping $185 million it’s really no surprise that Britney Spears has nice things. In fact, it’s practically expected that she’s got an extravagant house, a massive garage filled with luxury cars, and several walk-in closets filled with designer labels. She has thankfully gotten her personal life in order and is now showing that she’s being a great provider and wonderful mother to her two sons. Spears has been seen driving a Maserati Granturismo and Mercedes CLK, cars that are well within her means.
3 Lady Gaga (Rolls Royce Corniche III)
She certainly knows how to paint the town red, whether it’s her catchy songs, red carpet appearances, or her outrageous outfits. But the fact of the matter is, Lady Gaga is one celebrity we’ll never forget. She has branched out into acting, having won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel. Given her constant desire to be unique, it’s no surprise that she was seen in the past going retro and driving around in a Rolls Royce Corniche III.
2 Madonna (Maybach 57)
She seems to have been around forever and it’s no wonder. Madonna’s career has spanned over four decades and she’s still at it, not letting her age deter her from pushing her to her limits. She’s still touring the world with her amazing concerts and given her tenacity and ability to evolve, it’s no wonder she’s worth well over $800 million. She can well afford a garage-full of luxury cars and the material girl is said to own a Maybach 57.
1 Ellen DeGeneres (Porsche 911)
She’s one of the most well-loved celebrities in Hollywood, mostly because she has been helping many people and entertaining millions in her highly popular TV talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Ellen DeGeneres certainly has a knack for humor, having gotten her start as a stand-up comedienne in the TV show The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. After some small film roles, DeGeneres found her niche as a TV talk show host. She’s said to own a Porsche 911, a ride she can very well afford, given her successful TV career.
