Hate it or love it, celebrity gossip has been a media cornerstone for decades. The public’s curiosity over who wore what and who’s dating who has pretty much made the streets of Los Angeles an eternal photo op. But we’re not here to air out celebs’ dirty laundry. Instead, we’d like to take a moment to admire the wheels driven by some of our favorite actors, musicians, and multi-hyphenates. Read on for a who’s-who guide to the cars of the stars.

Lady Gaga and her 1967 Ford Bronco
Lady Gaga’s success is well-earned, and she’s got the car collection to prove it. But she wouldn’t be Gaga if she stuck to typical six-figure sports cars (though she has those too). Gaga is quite the high-brow car collector and has a particular predilection for vintage—one of her favorite vehicles is a 1967 Ford Bronco.
Gaga’s semi-restored, baby blue version of the classic trucklike SUV perfectly suits her quirky-cool vibe. It’s cute, tough, and wild all at once—just like Lady herself. She even chose the Bronco as her off-roader in the desert-set music video for Perfect Illusion.
Pharrell Williams’ rare Ferrari Enzo
Musician and producer Pharrell Williams has been at the top of the game for decades. He toasts his accomplishments with an affinity for Chanel and a beyond-opulent vehicle collection. One of his most-prized rides is a 2003 black Ferrari Enzo with a black carbon fiber interior that set him back $2.5 million.
Sculptural and exotic, the Enzo has a V12 engine capable of hitting a top speed of 218 mph, which Pharell admits is a bit much. Only around 400 of these cars were made, which classifies it as a rare find—but not rare enough to stop fellow music makers Axl Rose and Eric Clapton from owning an Enzo too!
Leo’s eco-conscious Toyota Prius
When he’s not sunbathing with models or being an amazing actor, Leonardo Dicaprio devotes himself to saving the planet. He abandoned glitz and hopped into a 2006 Toyota Prius to prove it. He’s been a vocal supporter of the best-selling hybrid—even buying a Prius fleet for his family.
As much as Leo loves a well-crafted hybrid, he’s also quite the EV ambassador. He’s been spotted behind the wheel of a Tesla Roadster, Model S, and Fisker Karma. Dicaprio enjoyed Karma so much that he even partnered with the luxury EV brand before their decade-long hiatus.
Beyoncé’s 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II
Nothing says I love you like a mid-century automobile worth around $1 million. For Queen B’s 25th birthday, husband Jay-Z gifted her a 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, a car that’s both unique and next-level classy.
Sure, a Rolls-Royce is common among A-listers, but Bey’s mint-condition, old-school Silver Cloud II is particularly stunning. It features a powder blue body with a matching leather interior, a soft navy convertible top, and whitewall tires. Beyoncé also owns a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, and a Tesla—but we have to argue that her Silver Cloud II might be the coolest among them.
Christian Bale’s modest Toyota Tacoma pickup
Maybe it’s a method actor thing, but Christian Bale isn’t spending his paycheck on a classic Ford GT40 like his character raced in Ford vs Ferrari, nor is he working up a flashy car collection in his climate-controlled Batcave. Bale is quite content to arrive on set in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck—that’s right, the same one your dad traded in ten years ago.
The Welsh actor doesn’t let fame and talent interfere with his down-to-earth lifestyle (but he will go full diva on you if you walk through his scene). When asked about his understated car choice, Bale noted that the first-generation Tacoma is a reliable family vehicle perfect for helping his friends move. What a guy!
John Cena’s 1971 Plymouth Road Runner
Professional wrestler John Cena has a well-known love for muscle cars. His collection includes iconic American cars like a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, a 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro, and a 2006 Dodge Viper. Cena also made headlines when he purchased a 2017 Ford GT and sold it before his contract with Ford allowed him to; this resulted in a lawsuit that was later settled.
Jay Leno’s Extensive Classic Collection
Jay Leno, former host of “The Tonight Show,” is one of the most famous celebrity car collectors. He owns an impressive collection of more than 150 cars and 117 motorcycles in a 130,000 square foot complex in Burbank. His collection spans the entire history of the automobile and includes unique and rare vehicles like the 1906 Stanley Steamer, the 1930 Bentley Speed Six, and the 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car.
