JAY-Z's Wild Car Collection Is Fitting for Hip-Hop's First Billionaire
From vintage rides to exotic supercars, JAY-Z has a different vehicle for every day of the month.
As hip-hop's first billionaire, the rapper's astronomical net worth allows him to afford the finer things in life — like an $8 million Maybach Exelero, for example. Point blank, JAY-Z doesn't just rap about expensive cars, he has them stacked up in his garage.
Whether it's a model from his own personal collection or one shared with Beyoncé, Hov always rolls up in something head-turning. Take a peek inside his line-up of luxe whips below.
1957 Corvette C1
The C1 is one of the first Corvettes ever made. At the time it was produced, the car was priced at just over $3,000, but we have a feeling JAY-Z paid a little (OK, a lot) more for this vintage vehicle.
Alfa Romeo Spider
JAY-Z clearly has an appreciation for classic automobiles. His Alfa Romeo Spider is reportedly a second-generation Series 2 Spider, built between 1970 and 1982, according to Carscoops. While the above photo finds the rapper alongside his close friend Emory Jones, JAY and wife Beyoncé were also spotted cruising around Milan during that same trip.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud (Beyoncé’s)
JAY-Z gave Beyoncé a $1 million Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud for her birthday years ago. According to Hagerty, there are only 2,716 of these vehicles, which were in production from 1955 to 1966 in the world.
Pagani Zonda F
In terms of rare rides, the Pagani Zonda F certainly qualifies, as it's said to be 1 of 40. This 650-horsepower supercar travels from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds, before topping out at 214 miles per hour.
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport
Exchanging cars seems to be fairly common in the Carter household. Beyoncé gifted JAY with a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday. This ride is also rare and fast. The 1,000-horsepower Bugatti is recognized as one of the fastest cars in the world.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
The SLR McLaren is also said to be the property of Beyoncé, although JAY has been seen driving it from time to time. Valued at nearly $500,000, only 3,500 of these were produced.
Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet
One of the more modest cars in the Carter garage, JAY-Z was evidently so fond of his Porsche 911 that he gave Rihanna a similar one back in 2012.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
A Phantom is one of those cars that you are driven around in because nothing screams luxury quite like cruising in the back of a half-a-million-dollar white Rolls-Royce.
Ferrari F430 Spider
For something exotic, JAY-Z opted for the Ferrari F430 Spider. Another speedy vehicle in his fleet, the F430 goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds.
Maybach 57S
You've probably seen this car before, as it was featured in JAY-Z and Kanye's Watch the Throne video for "Otis." Somehow, though, the heavily-modified vehicle only fetched a mere $60,000 at auction when JAY and Ye were done with it.
Bentley Continental GT
A Bentley is one of the most name-dropped cars in hip-hop. JAY-Z, too, has rapped about it on more than one occasion, but it is much more fitting when you actually own one.
Maybach 62S
The Maybach 62S is another one of those rides you use a driver for. Because of this, the backseat is outfitted with a slew of amenities, including a reclining seat.
Maybach Exelero
Worth $8 million, the Maybach Exelero is the most expensive one-off production car ever owned. Previously in the possession of another rapper, Birdman, the Exelero was featured in JAY-Z's music video for "Lost One" (see below).
