The Most Impressive Car Collections in Hollywood
Most vehicles decline in value quite a bit as soon as they are driven off the lot, making them poor investments. However, keeping a collection of high-end vehicles in showroom condition can be a path to increased wealth over time. Here are some of the most impressive collections owned by the famed residents of Tinseltown.
Jerry Seinfeld
The famous comedian and television actor has an estimated worth of $800 million, $15 million of which he has invested in one of the most rare and extensive Porsche collections on the planet. His finds include a silver Porsche 959, one of only 338 in the world, which is worth over $700 thousand dollars. All told, he has 47 Porsche cars, houses them in a $1.4 million dollar, temperature-controlled garage and has a full-time mechanic to keep them all in perfect condition. As the cars age, their worth will only increase in value.
Jay Z
Rapper and entrepreneur Jay Z has a varied assortment of vehicles. His wife, successful songstress Beyoncé Knowles, bought him a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport as a gift. The high-performance car is among the most expensive in the world with a price tag of $2.6 million. Jay Z also owns a Maybach 57S, which also retails for north of $2 million and a Maybach Exelero worth $8 million. Jay Z is no snob, however, as he is frequently seen in his Range Rover and Jeep Wrangler, both of which are more common vehicles. With a net worth of $560 million personally and $900 million in his marriage, Jay Z can afford any vehicle that strikes his fancy, whether it be a Ferrari or a Honda. No matter what he chooses to drive, you can be sure it will have all of the luxury options and some after-market additions as well.
Jay Leno
The retired late-night talk show host has a net worth of $350 million and boasts a car collection that is known throughout the world as eclectic and exciting. He’s filled an airplane hangar with 130 cars, 93 bikes and a load of related memorabilia. While most collectors are in love with a particular time period or manufacturer, Leno’s collection breaks all the rules. He has vehicles spanning the market, including McLaren, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Bentley, Jaguar, and even a few Bristol and Lotus cars. Also unlike most collectors, Leno has no interest in buying as an investment. He purchases vehicles that he likes to drive. He is often seen going about in vehicles so old, rare or expensive that most owners would keep them in a museum or only drive them to awards ceremonies. Leno is the kind of guy who picks up a pizza in his 1967 Lamborghini Miura. While he enjoys doing some maintenance on his own, he also employs four full-time technicians to keep his fleet ready to roll.
To many, a car is just a mode of transportation. To these celebrities, cars are works of art and investments.
Some of the Best Dressed Hollywood Men
While the ladies of Hollywood often get the attention for the fashions that inspire current trends, many male actors display an equal amount of fashion sense. From brand name casual wear to expensive tailored suits and accessories, a number of celebrity men deserve recognition. Here’s Celebrific’s all time best dressed Hollywood men.
George Clooney
Off the screen, this handsome, humorous and intelligent actor regularly sets a fine example in men’s fashion. Giorgio Armani remarked that Clooney can make any suit look fantastic. One may be hard pressed to think of a time while out in public that the Hollywood star appeared less than presentable.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Regardless of the costumes his characters may be called upon to wear, when attending a special event, Gyllenhaal always dresses in good taste. In addition to preferring classical American styles, he makes a point of adding a personalized touch of something trendy.
Jamie Foxx
Singer, actor and all around cool guy, Foxx masters the art of looking dapper. It does not seem to matter whether he dresses casually in jeans and a sweater or in a shimmering three-piece suit, he emits an air of elegance.
Daniel Craig
Not unlike his James Bond character, Craig is also considered fashion-conscious. He is also a man who is not afraid to accessorize. Bright scarves, funky shoes and elaborate pocket squares are but some of his many choices.
Johnny Depp
Depp displays a fashion sense all of his own, which some label as bohemian chic. He is well-known for dressing in other than what some might expect an A-list actor to wear. He much prefers hats, scarves and layered apparel that often masquerade his ageless handsome appeal.
Jon Hamm
On his show, “Mad Men,” Hamm’s character dresses for success. Some men look great regardless of what they choose to wear. Hamm is one of those men. In real life, he prefers what some may call “old-school fashion. He is often seen in jeans and over-sized sweaters when not wearing professionally tailored suits.
Justin Timberlake
Fashion and style rank high enough on Timberlake’s priorities that he established his own line of clothing. Since reaching adulthood, he is recognized for his style that often includes retro newsboy caps, sweater vests and glasses. His unique preference and apparel choices have earned him the title of “King of Geeky Chic.”
Ryan Gosling
Once voted by People Magazine as “Sexiest Man Alive,” Gosling and his model good looks has spawned many remarks. He reminds many of someone who just stepped off a runway.
Sting
Though most women find his devotion to his wife one of this rocker’s most attractive features, when out in public, he is often seen donning the creations of Tom Ford and Versace.
Tom Cruise
His young daughter Suri is often recognized for having a knack for fashion. A characteristic she may well have inherited from her famous father. When not starring in a variety of films, Cruise is often seen in casual, preppy and sporty apparel that always seems to exude class.
Will Smith
From “Fresh Prince” to numerous starring Hollywood roles, Smith has come a long way from jeans and quirky outfits. Today, the mature star is better known for his upgraded fashion choices that often include a suit.
