Have you ever wondered what billionaires drive? What does the collection look like? car people for whom money is not a problem, who can have whatever they want?

Although one might think that the richest people on the planet do not drive, but that others drive them, the truth is that the five billionaires at the top of the Forbes list are very active in traffic. We’re sure it won’t surprise you that some of them have the most expensive collection you can dream of, but we’re also sure you’ll be surprised that you can afford some of the models they own.

So, let’s see what cars do the 5 richest people in the world drive?.

There are billionaires who like to flaunt their wealth publicly, but the founder and CEO of Oracle is not one of them. We know Larry Ellis is “tough” 145.8 billion dollarsthat he owns a large number of expensive properties and even a private island, however, although it is claimed that he is a passionate car collector, what models he owns is information that he hides from the public.

What is known is that models such as McLaren F1, Audi R8, Acura NSX and Lexus LFA. However, he is currently driving an orange one C8 Corvette Stingray we only know because he was ticketed by the police in Hawaii for disobeying traffic signs.

The most humble billionaire on this list is undoubtedly Mark Zuckerberg. Despite the fact that his wealth is estimated at even 155.7 billion dollarsthe Facebook founder and Meta CEO owns models you wouldn’t even notice on the street.

Believe it or not, Zuckerberg’s fleet consists of cars such as Acura TSX, Honda Fit and Volkswagen Golf GTI mk6, which many could afford themselves. When asked during an interview why he drives the TSX, the billionaire had a fairly logical answer: “Because it is safe, comfortable and unobtrusive”.

However, the only exception in his collection is Pagani Huayrathe model that Mark paid $2 million for when it appeared in the US in 2014.

Elon Musk is a controversial figure, but is known in the four-wheel industry as the man who popularized electric cars. However, this does not mean that his collection is exclusively electric. On the contrary, this visionary is a great lover of history, so there are some really interesting models in his possession.

Of course, it will not surprise anyone to own Tesla models such as these Cybertruck, Model S and Model Xbut he wants the information that Ilon is worth his wealth 191.1 billion dollars also spent on vehicles that have internal combustion engines such as McLaren F1, Jaguar E-Type Roadster (1967) and Porsche 911 Turbo. A South African is also known to be the owner Ford Model T from 1920, as well as the iconic modified car that James Bond drove in the movie “The Spy Who Loved Me” – Lotus Espritbetter known as “Wet Nellie”.

There was a time when i Jeff Bezos was very modest about the cars he owned. When his fortune was worth $10 billion, Bezos was driving in an interview Honda Accordand when he was asked about the same, he just laughed and said that it was a “perfectly good car”.

However, much has changed since then. Bezos is tough today 197.6 billion dollarsand his car collection is neither modest nor small.

Although in his possession there are “cheaper” models such as Land Rover Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz S450what Bezos prides himself on are Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio ($3 million), Lykan HyperSport ($3.4 million), Bugatti Veyron Mansory ($3.5 million), Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ($4.8 million) and Lamborghini Veneno Roadster ($10 million).

The richest man on the planet at the time of writing is Bernard Arnault, whose wealth is estimated at even 213.5 billion dollars. As the Frenchman is the founder and CEO of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, whose specialty is the production of luxury goods, we doubt that anyone will be surprised by the fact that they own an extremely expensive car collection. Unfortunately, Arno largely keeps it away from the public eye, so it is not known which models make it up, but what is known is very impressive.

It seems that Bezos and Arno have a similar taste in cars, and they both have Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio, Lykan HyperSport and Cadillac Escalade in their collection. However, Arno also owns luxury four-wheelers such as Lamborghini Reventon, Bugatti EB110, Koenigsegg Regera, Ferrari Monza SP1, Ferrari F40, McLaren P1, Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss and Rolls-Royce Dawn.
