The 20 Biggest Celebrity Car Collectors

How a person spends their money can be a strong indication of what that person is like. Some spend their cash on multiple apartments in different cities. Some buy one giant house in the middle of nowhere. Some purchase companies or invest, hoping to save their estates for their heirs. And then there is our type of person: the ones that spend all of the free time and money on cars.

Regardless of how that money is made, whether it be from an acting career, spitting bars, or rocking a drum set, there is a love that can bring people from all different circles to one comfortable place: behind a steering wheel. We took a close look at tens people that have acquired "celebrity" status and probed through their car collections, judging on what cars they've put their money into. From James Hetfield to Tim Allen to Funkmaster Flex, here are the 20 biggest celebrity car collectors.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: American Classics
Notable Cars: 1973 Chevrolet Impala, 1975 Chevrolet Impala, 1972 Chevrolet Impala, 1972 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

Zach Randolph is huge, brutal and in your face. So, it's only natural that his cars are the same. Randolph is unfortunatley a big fan of the "donk" rage, throwing candy paint and humongous rims on all of his Chevy Impalas. We appreciate the brand loyalty, though.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Customs
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.

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?

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Old Customs
Notable Cars: 1936 Ford 5-Window Coupe, 1956 Ford Pickup, 1936 Auburn Speedster

Unlike the rap culture that many of the musicians on this list help build, the rock culture doesn't exactly call upon extremely amazing cars as a necessity. That's why Hetfield's penchant for custom cars and hot rods as a hobby is all the more impressive. His love for vehicles culminated this past year, as he hosted a classic car and bike show that brought in around 300 different vehicles.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Ferraris
Notable Cars: Chevrolet Camaro SS, 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MK replica, Ferrari 575M, Mercedes-Benz SL500, Ferrari 465 GTA, Ferrari 400i, 1986 Ferrari 412, Jeep Wrangler, Shelby Daytona Coupe, 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne CT pickup

Lupe Fiasco made a bit of an ironic statement regarding cars on his most recent album "Food and Liquor 2." On the song "ITAL," he rapped, "'Raris too expensive and they way too hard to maintain/Get yourself a Camry, 'nigga said a Camry?'/Watch that hoe depreciate and then you'll understand me/It's called being fiscally responsible." We don't think we'd see Lupe riding around in a basic Toyota sedan, but guess what? That's becuase he can afford it. You can't. We're sure he's staying well within his budget.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: 1957 Cadillac Eldorado
Notable Cars: McLaren F1, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Arnage, Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, Pagani Zonda, Mercedes-Benz G-Class

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.

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 (and way before he became an enormous wrestling force). 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.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Ones That Nobody Can Afford (Including himself)
Notable Cars: Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Maybach 62S Landaulet, attempted Maybach Exelero

There is nobody better on this list at spending exorbitant amounts of cash on the newest, fastest, and most expensive rides on the planet. He claimed at one point to have 50 whips, and that was when Lil Wayne was 16 years old. Take that thought, consider how much more money he's made off Young Money since then, and you get a dude that's rubbing his hands looking at new candy apple red rides more often than you hail a taxi.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
Notable Cars: Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, 1969 Impala, Scion xB, Mini Cooper, Ferrari F430, Bugatti Veyron, Cadillac Hearse, 1972 Chevrolet Impala, Oldsmobile 442, 1991 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, 1963 drop-top Chevrolet Impala, 1963 hard-top Chevrolet Impala, Ford F650, Buick Lacerne, 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle

You know how you can tell a pure-bred automotive enthusiast? When they own various years of the same car and explain to you how not just the aesthetics are different, but how the engine is different. Forbes wrote an article about T-Pain back in 2009 and he had 32 cars in his possession at that point. We're not sure if he's sold any since then, but we know for sure that he's made some more purchases.

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.

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.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Classic Chevrolets
Notable Cars: Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Impala SS, Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, Chevrolet El Camino SS

Spitta doesn't have nearly the volume of automobiles that Flex or T-Pain do, nor does he have the mass expenses that Birdman spends on his cars, but the New Orleans homie is truly obsessed with rides on four wheels, particularly if they have that vintage Chevy badge up front. He names projects after cars. His project covers have cars on them. He tweets nothing but weed and cars, and in his videos, cars are almost guaranteed to be involved in some manner. He's also the only other guy on this list besides Flex that practically lives in a customs shop. Chevy should just give him an endorsement deal for all the advertising he does for them.

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.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396
Notable Cars: 1969 GTO Convertible, 1971 Torino GT, 1965 Impala SS 396

Straight from Flex himself: "This is my all time favorite muscle car in the world. When I bought it, I was looking for a '69. The '70 turned out to be a better buy. The 1970 Chevelle SS is the ultimate over-the-counter, or stock, muscle car."

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.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Italian supersports cars
Notable Cars: Ferrari 250 GTO, Bugatti T35, Maserati 250F, Ferrari 213 T3 Grand Prix Car, Ferrari F40, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche 962, McLaren F1 GTR, Aston Martin LM18, Ford Model T

The drummer for Pink Floyd has around 40 cars in his collection. Whether it was ground-breaking design, unmatched performance on the race track, or top-of-the-line engineering, every single one has some sort of historical automotive significance. We can't say how much the garage is worth in total, but here's a hint: His Ferrari 250 GTO is valued at some £23m, or about $37,000,000. Basically, one of his cars is worth more than your entire dream garage.

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.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Hot Rods
Notable Cars: 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, 1933 Ford Roadster, 1955 Ford Customline, 1956 Ford F-100 Custom Pickup, 1946 Ford Convertible, The Tim Allen Moal Roadster Special, Chevrolet Volt, 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, big-block Volkswagen Bug

Most kids have toy cars and models that are meer dream cars. Tim Allen, on the other hand, has purchased every single car that he had a model of. His garage is packed with an unusual mix, and he remains humble. When asked in an interview with ABC how many cars he has, he would only respond, "more than I need."

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Porsches
Notable Cars: 1973 Porsche 911 RSR, 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, Porsche 959, Porsche Carrera GT, 1959 Gmuend Porsche

Seinfeld has nearly 50 purely under the Porsche badge. He has so many rides that he has a hanger out at the Santa Monica airport to store part of his collection. Others are in a custom-built two-story Manhattan garage that took five years and around $500,000 to build. Seinfeld also started his own Internet series called "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" in 2012 and was recently renewed for another season.

Favorite Car Type Or Make: Cars You'd Never Expect To Still Be Working
Notable Cars: 1909 Baker Electric, 1909 Stanley Steamer, 1931 Bentley 8-Liter, 1927 Duesenberg Model X, 1915 Hispano-Suiza, 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II

The dude's got more than 100 cars (and more than 50 motorcycles), he's got his own mechanics, and car companies bring brand new cars that debuted a week beforehand to his garage. Who else did you think would take the No. 1 spot?
