The 10 Best Non-Celebrity Car Collectors

Don't for a second think that the "non-celebrity" qualifier makes these collectors inferior. Compared to the money and cars these people have accumulated, the celebrity car collectors form a minor-league culture. It turns out being in a royal family or working for the law firm responsible for the law firm responsible for the $358-billion tobacco settlement is more lucrative than being on a talk show or making a few hit songs. Combined these ten people have more than 8,000 cars. If things go well in you're life you'll be lucky to have one. See who are truly the best car collectors in the 10 Best Non-Celebrity Car Collectors.
