You know you’d collect all your favorite rides too, if you had the bank to fill your garage like this. And everyone already knows about Jay Leno’s collection and Jerry Seinfeld's stash, so they are not included in this list.

Here are 20 other celebrities with a passion for the sweetest rides.

20. Missy Elliott

Favorite Car Type or Make: Fast

Notable Cars: Purple Lamborghini Diablo

Miss E. loves her cars so much, her mom wants her to stop collecting. You know you’re on the right track when your mom wants you to stop.

19. Manny Pacquiao

Favorite Car Type or Make: SUV


Notable Cars: Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Mercedes SLK, Lincoln Navigator, Mitsubishi Pajero V6


Despite the millions he’s made from fighting, Pac-Man keeps it relatively low-key with his car collection. He also gives a lot to charity in the Philippines, as a way of showing respect for his roots.

18. Michael Jordan

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Exotic Sports Cars

Notable Cars: 2006 Cadillac XLR-V, sold his Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 edition

Can you imagine being his kid and asking Dad if you can borrow one of his cars for the night? That’s pressure.

17. Kanye West

Favorite Car Type Or Make: European supercars

Notable Cars: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, Aston Martin DB9

Despite all the cool whips in his garage, Ye has his share of car trouble, too. Like someone joyriding in his Porsche Panamera and crashing it into a house in Honolulu in 2010.

16. 50 Cent

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Ferrari

Notable Cars: Pontiac G8 Special Edition, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Murcielago


He’s got some choice whips. There was no reason for him to lie about those Ferraris on MTV Cribs in 2007. Still, we can’t blame him for wishing they were his.

15. Floyd Mayweather

Favorite Car Type Or Make: White uber-luxury whips

Notable Cars: Two nearly identical Rolls-Royce Phantoms (one a gift from 50 Cent), Maybach 62

When you make your living professionally administering beat-downs before billions of fans, we can only imagine it’s nice to ride in the lap of luxury afterward. Why wait to be pampered until you get home?

14. Lil Wayne

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Anything yellow

Notable Cars: Bugatti Veyron, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 1999 Bentley Arnage

Sure, some of his whips show up in some of his rhymes. But that Veyron is just for him.

13. Lebron James

Favorite Car Type Or Make: White whips with white wheels

Notable Cars: Custom white Chevrolet Camaro SS with blazing white rims, white Mercedes S63 AMG with wicked white rims, Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari F430 Spyder customized by Unique

What baller needs a six-foot Impala when he can have all this?

12. Shaquille O’Neal

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Custom

Notable Cars: Superman Cadillac Escalade, Smart ForTwo convertible, stretched Lamborghini Gallardo

Sometimes you customize because you can, like Shaq’s pimped-out Superman Cadillac Escalade. Other times, you customize because you have to -- like the custom windows, doors, and roof Shaq had installed in his Gallardo so all 7’1” of him could actually drive that whip.

11. Wyclef Jean

Favorite Car Type Or Make: 1957 Cadillac Eldorado

Notable Cars: Pagani Zonda C12-S, McLaren F1

His massive talent gave him the bank to fill his garage with over 37 cars -- most of which he’s customized. We like the idea of taking something new out of the garage every day for a month.

10. Snoop Dogg

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Lowriders, lowriders, lowriders

Notable Cars: Completely custom gold and purple Lakers-themed 1967 Pontiac Parisienne, 1969 Buick Riviera

Anyone with money can buy a car. Making it your own personal statement is another story. Snoop could be a professor in this field.

9. Bill Goldberg

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Classic American muscle cars

Notable Cars: 1965 Shelby Cobra replica, 1966 Jaguar XK-E Series 1 convertible, 1963 Dodge 330, 1969 Dodge Charger, 1970 Boss 429 Mustang

Goldberg is one of those guys who’s had dream cars ever since he was old enough to dream. Once he made enough money, he went back and bought these cars he’d been dreaming about since childhood. Our inner children hope to be that lucky someday.

8. Akon

Favorite Car Type Or Make: European supercars in white

Notable Cars: Lamborghini Murcielago, Lamborghini Gallardo, white Ferrari 458 Italia, has an armored Dartz Prombron SUV on order as of January 2012

We can’t help but admire a man who not only believes in customizing his rides, but also does a lot of that customizing himself. Handy with a microphone and a set of wrenches. We’re down.

7. John Cena

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Hardcore American muscle

Notable Cars: 1971 Ford Torino GT, 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge, 1966 Dodge Charger, 1970 Plymouth Superbird

American wrestler into American muscle. This math makes a lot of sense. Cena has even released a DVD about his car collection.

6. T-Pain

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Notable Cars: Joker-themed 1972 Chevy Impala, bright orange Cadillac hearse, orange 1969 Chevy Impala

Cranking out hits has bought T-Pain an enviable garage. But the fact that he’s hands-on and does a lot of customizing himself gives us even more respect for his skills.

5. Ralph Lauren

Favorite Car Type Or Make: European classics

Notable Cars: What isn’t notable in his collection?

We bet you’re like us: if you do something well, you reward yourself. When Ralph Lauren first became an independent designer in 1970, he rewarded himself with a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 convertible. What’s even cooler is that he draws artistic inspiration from his classic car collection.

4. Jay Kay

Favorite Car Type Or Make: European classics

Notable Cars: Frua-bodied Maserati A6 G2000, Lamborghini Miura SV, Ferrari 550, Ferrari Enzo, Aston Martin DB5, Classic Fiat Abarth 1000

When you’re done checking out Jay Kay’s rides, you can go for a spin around his personal outdoor go-kart track, in one of his collection of go-karts. You know, when he invites you over.

3. Funk Master Flex

Favorite Car Type Or Make: 1970 Chevelle SS 502

Notable Cars: 1969 GTO Convertible, 1971 Torino GT, 1965 Impala SS 396

There’s a lot of skill crossover between being a successful DJ and being a hands-on gear head. Of course, we’re just speculating, as we’re not successful DJs. But we’re pretty sure. Check out any of his TV shows to see more about his love for cars.

2. Billy F. Gibbons

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Completely custom hot rods

Notable Cars: 1948 Cadillac Series 62 CadZZilla, super-low 1962 Chevrolet Impala “Slampala”, 1950 Ford Business Coupe, 1958 Ford Thunderbird “The Mexican Blackbird”

Apart from gracing ZZ Top album covers and showing up on TV, there is a Mattel-licensed toy version of CadZZilla. He has also released a book about his car and guitar obsession.

1. Reggie Jackson

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Chevrolet

Notable Cars: 1969 ZL1 COPO Camaro, 1941 Willys Steel Coupe

Mr. October’s goal was to have one of every important engine Chevy ever made. His collection includes some non-Chevys, too, but it’s easy to see where his passion lies.
