For some, it’s an all-out spending spree for the most lavish and luxurious cars they can get their hands on, while others may fancy a collection of classic and rare cars to preserve until time’s end. However, not all billionaires fancy an ultra-luxurious sedan with all the amenities. Instead, they prefer a modest and simple four-door budget car for themselves. Of course, no billionaire out of this list only owns one car. They have multiple cars. But this list is derived on the basis of their daily drivers, the car that they use for daily commute. Some of these come as a full surprise while some of them are on expected lines. From Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, Bill Gates to Larry Ellison, here are the top 10 billionaires of the world and the cars that they drive:
1. Jeff Bezos – Honda Accord Founder of Amazon and the world’s richest man Jeff Bezos may have a mighty amount of wealth but he doesn’t put that into the show via flashy cars. Instead, the American business tycoon drives his Honda accord, which has become pretty famous in and around Silicon Valley.
2. Bernard Arnault – BMW 7 series Even though Bernard Arnault heads one of the world’s most luxurious brands and is known for his skills in cutting edge fashion, his car choice does not scream the same. The BMW 7 Series is a luxury car but it is no Maybach or Rolls Royce. Another thing about his BMW is that its model dates back to 2015.
3. Elon Musk – McLaren F1 Elon Musk is a different billionaire. For starters, he talks unabashedly about his ideas on Twitter. He expresses and connects with the commoners more than any billionaire in the world. But an exclusive part of him is his car collection, out of which the McLaren F1 stands out the most. It’s the car from the James Bond movie that costs several million due to its rarity.
4. Bill Gates – Porsche 959 Bill Gates is pretty famous for his love for two things, technology and cars. He has expressed his fascination with all sorts of cars. His collection boasts of many rare and vintage cars worth several million. However, he drives one of them faster Porsche 959. He has driving Porsche’s ever since he got rich, and it is quite obvious by his daily driver.
5. Mark Zuckerberg – Pagani Huayra Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is considered to be confusing when it comes to his car choice. He is sometimes spotted in a super rare hypercar Pagani Huayra while at times he is found in a Honda Jazz.
6. Larry Page – Tesla Roadster Google co-founder Larry Page has been spotted with some luxury as well as budget cars. He might be the founder of one of the most successful tech companies in the world, but the man keeps a relatively low profile, at least amongst car fanatics. He had been spotted in Tesla Roadsters multiple times using it as his daily driver. He has also been spotted in a Toyota Prius.
7. Sergey Brin – Tesla Roadster The other half of Google, Sergey Brin co-founded the company with Larry Page. Coincidently or not, he also drives a Tesla Roadster just like his counterpart. Amazingly enough, he owns a Toyota Prius as well which he had used as a daily driver earlier.
8. Warren Buffet – Cadillac XTS Warren Buffet is worshipped for his investing skills and analytical mind around Wall Street. He calculates his investment and builds his fortune slowly. Somehow, a man of his persona fits exactly well for the car he drives. A Cadillac XTS. In fact, he’s been driving Cadillacs ever since he first learnt driving.
9. Larry Elisson – Lexus LFA Larry Elison made his billions by founding the software company Oracle and has found himself worth more than £65 billion as a result. A reasonable amount of that cash has been sunk into a tasty car collection — which has included a McLaren F1 and a Lexus LFA.
10. Steve Ballmer – Ford Fusion hybrid Steve Ballmer’s net worth as of June 2021 is estimated to be around $94Billion but he drives a budget-friendly. He drives a Ford Fusion Hybrid. However, the car has significance for him since he is from Detroit and his father worked in the Ford factory.
