LAURA INGRAHAM | LEXUS GS F | $85,000
Quite popular for her conservative political stand, Laura Ingraham is the host of her own radio show, The Laura Ingraham Show. For almost two decades, she has been at the helm of this program, cementing her place in America’s TV history. Her training as a lawyer had equipped her with the questioning skills needed. At one point, she even wrote the speeches of President Ronald Raegan. Ever since, she had built on her career from when she was a simple judicial clerk.
As a single parent to three girls, Ingraham has selected a typical vehicle fit for a family woman with a certain degree of taste and style. Her Lexus GS F, which cost her $85,000, reeks of luxury on all sides. It’s elegant on the interior and exterior. The price point is also not that expensive, something commendable for a person who has an annual income of $15 million.
BRUCE WILLIS | 1968 SHELBY GT500 | $189,900
Given his eloquent speech style nowadays, it is rather hard to imagine that Bruce Willis once had a stutter. He was able to overcome it simply by joining stage productions in schools. The hardened actor was also not picky regarding jobs, as the future actor was once a security guard, an investigator, and even a bartender. He also had good money management skills, apart from having excellent acting powers.
Now a highly recognized personality in Hollywood, Willis can afford to buy many cars. The car’s maintenance costs are also not a problem for the loaded celebrity. Among the many cars in his garage is a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, a 1968 Dodge Charger, and a 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Of interest to many is his 1968 Shelby GT500, with its value estimated to be at least $189,000. It is definitely a car that you would imagine the Pulp Fiction actor to be driving in the stress of Los Angeles.
WENDY WILLIAMS | BENTLEY SUV | $220,000
We know who the Queen of Pop is but are we aware that there is such a thing as the Queen of Radio? That title belongs to Wendy Williams, and while it may be obsolete in today’s modern music scene, it ultimately catapulted him to fame. She started as a low-income employee in the US Virgin Islands but later got a break in WRKS, which led her to become of the most talked-about radio personalities.
Williams was once married to Kevin Hunter, and so a few of her vehicles were actually from when they settled the separation with their respective lawyers. One of them was a red Bentley SUV worth at least $220,000. She has been seen getting off this red beauty on several occasions, so we can only assume it is her property at the moment. Moreover, Williams also had a vehicle owned by Hunter at one time.
STEVE HARVEY | BENTLEY MULSANNE | $305,000
Every time there is talk of the Miss Universe pageant, the name Steve Harvey will come up. This is because he has been a constant in the hosting gig. He is also well remembered for that gaffe he committed a few years ago, announcing the wrong winter, but all has been forgiven there. Throughout the years, he has been known for various shows like Family Feud and The Steve Harvey Morning Show.
When it comes to vehicles, his philosophy is it is better to give than to receive. For sure, he has a massive collection of cars, and so he gifted his wife one. Harvey gave his wife a Rolls-Royce for her 50th birthday, and she reciprocated by giving him a Bentley Mulsanne. How much was this exchange gift? We do know that the Mulsanne was worth at least $305,000. We give credit to both for being generous to one another.
ELLEN DEGENERES | 2012 FERRARI CALIFORNIA | $200,000
As one of the most-talked-about celebrities, Ellen DeGeneres is used to the intrigues of Hollywood life. She is now a wealthy TV host and comedian, but she had to work one odd job from another during her younger days. A waitress, a painter, and even a clerk for a lawyer in a firm were some of the work she has had throughout the years. This knowledge of the ground comes up whenever she interviews people.
One thing we should know about DeGeneres is that she is s fan of Porsche and Ferrari vehicles. Sure, these are the most expensive brands, but the TV show host could afford it anyway. She and her wife Portia De Rossi were once spotted in a Ferrari California, which could cost at least $200,000. There are several other cool cars in the garage, including a Land Rover Defender and a Porsche 997 Carrera S.
JOHN TRAVOLTA | 1970 MUSTANG BOSS 302 | $135,000
Prior to receiving the degree of fame he enjoys now, John Travolta was a fledgling actor. Interestingly, it was his mother that inspired him to become an actor. He then started with stage productions, giving it his all. Since then, Travolta has positioned himself as one of the best celebrities in Hollywood, with projects like Pulp Fiction, Face/Off, and Grease. He also received award nominations for American Crime Story, a TV series.
Now that he is not that active in making movies or TV programs, Travolta is into travelling. Did you know that his house has a runway instead of a backyard? How cool is that? Well, it’s easy to believe since he is also a licensed pilot and has a total net worth of $250 million. When travelling on the ground, however, he uses some of the world’s finest vehicles. He owns a 1970 Mustang Boss 302, which is estimated to be worth at least $135,000. On top of this, he also has a Jaguar XJ6 and a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
NICOLE KIDMAN | PORSCHE 911 CARRERA | $99,200
Can anyone argue that Nicole Kidman is not a heavenly star? Well, she is, and that is why when she was born in Hawaii, she was christened as Hokulani, a translation of the phrase. Her passion for acting started when she was just a kid, and since then, she has made herself quite famous. Among her many acting credits are Big Little Liars, Bombshell, and The Hours.
Living the high life can be very stressful, and so it is normal for Kidman to reward himself from time to time. Sometimes she would buy a car just so she could have a tangible reminder of the hard work she has put in. Among the many vehicles in the garage is a lovely Porsche 911 Carrera. She shares the love of cars with her husband Keith Urban, so we can only imagine how some of their conversations at the dinner table are.
MARK ZUCKERBERG | HONDA FIT | $30,000
One of the wealthiest tech entrepreneurs, Mark Zuckerberg does not really even make an effort to show off his wealth. He usually walks instead of drives. We can also imagine him doing his own grocery runs. Seeing him in regular tank tops is also refreshing, all while sitting on billions of dollars in the bank, which he made from his investments in Facebook. While some were initially skeptical, Facebook proved to be the right move for him.
One of the cars he drives is a Honda Fit, which is a reliable car that brings him from one destination to the next. He bought this for less than $30,000, which is change money for the wealthy mogul. Zuckerberg is usually out and about nowadays because of the many government-related engagements he had to attend to. Having hearings after hearings can be quite tiresome for him, but he can bolt unrecognized right after the meeting.
CLINT EASTWOOD | GMC TYPHOON | LESS THAN $30,000
There is no doubt that Clint Eastwood is one of the most prominent names in Hollywood. While many will consider his fame to be on the waning side now, he has worked really hard to reach that status he now enjoys. At the height of his career, Eastwood worked on projects like Gran Torino, Unforgiven, and The Mule. He has a long line of acting credits to his name.Considering his tough image, the actor is indeed a fan of muscle cars.
In fact, Jimmy Fallon mentioned in one of the interviews that many people have seen the actor drive away in several of these. Among those that he drives is a GM Typhoon, which could cost at least $30,000 without modifications. With a V6 engine under the hood, it can go from 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds. It is slower in today’s standards, but during its heyday, it was one of the most powerful vehicles allowed on the road.
VANESSA WILLIAMS | MASERATI CONVERTIBLE | $150,380
The issue of race is a rather sensitive topic even now, but back in the ‘80s, it was indeed a very hot topic. One person who contributed to the ongoing discourse was Vanessa Williams, who was the first African-American woman to win Miss America in 1984. Being a beauty queen helped propel Williams to a career in singing, with her debut album, The Right Stuff, which she released in 1988.
As for cars, Williams likes both beauty and elegance, so she has chosen a Maserati for himself. She is not alone, as other celebrities like Kylie Minogue, Lindsay Lohan, and 50 Cent are also fans of the luxury brand. The singer owns a convertible that is estimated to be at least $150,380, depending on the trim and specific model. They are gas guzzlers, of course, but she could very well afford it.
