Jay Z and Beyoncé’s Classic Gems

Over the past few decades, a lot of power couples have come and gone. Who could forget Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky? Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards; Liz Taylor and Richard Burton again; and Liz Taylor and Richard Burton? Okay, perhaps that last one goes a little too far. Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were the next couples we saw. Most of us are now familiar with one of the most powerful and well-known couples to have ever existed. No, we're not referring to Kimye, though they undoubtedly rate high. We're talking about Beyoncé and Jay Z, who tied the knot on April 4, 2008. As you surely already know, even before they got married, these two were wildly successful and wealthy beyond their wildest expectations. According to estimates, Mrs. Carter is worth $350 million, while Jay Z is worth roughly $810 million. When you add it all up, you have a couple with a combined net worth of more than $1 billion. The Carters are obviously free to spend obscene sums of money on whatever they like. Millions have been spent on real estate, glitz, fine art, and entertainment. They have also invested millions in their enormous collection of automobiles. The 25 images below show Jay Z and Beyoncé's cars. Being a little jealous is acceptable.

Jeep Wrangler

Of course, Jay Z and Beyoncé need to have options for when they want to travel off-road or through the snow, and the Carters require a backup plan in case their Range Rover breaks down or ends up at the impound lot after being towed for improper airport parking. According to HotCars, They made a great investment in their Jeep Wrangler, a superb small off-road vehicle produced by Chrysler, because of this. A 3.8-liter V6 engine with 202 horsepower is included with this 4x4 bush hog. Since their debut in World War I, these vehicles have been navigating the most difficult terrain. When the Carters are driving in their Wrangler, they shouldn't need any tow trucks to pull them out of difficulty.

1957 C1 Corvette

Being stuck in traffic is one of the few things that is more annoying. At least Jay Z and Queen Bey don't appear to worry when they are snarled in traffic because they are having fun in what appears to be their 1957 C1 Corvette. One of the very first Corvettes ever produced, this classic car is so desirable that practically every auto enthusiast would do anything to own one. This 283-ci engine-powered piece of automotive history can dance. Nobody knows for sure how many of the 6,339 Corvettes produced that year are still in use, but those that are will undoubtedly be worth more than the $3,176.32 asking price

Alfa Romeo Spider

Although the specifics of this Alfa Romeo Spider aren't quite clear to us, we're rather convinced that it's a second-generation Series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider that was made sometime between 1970 and 1982. The fact that Jay Z is driving and his stunning wife is riding shotgun is one thing that cannot be disputed. This vehicle is perfectly adapted for traversing the twisting roads of Italy, but it is equally capable of navigating any North American route. It's also wonderful to see that the pair is using less gas and doing their part to help the environment.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

It's not like Jay Z is the only one with excellent cars. Beyoncé is a sophisticated woman who rides in sophisticated vehicles, such as this 1959 Rolls-Royce Convertible ll with a 6.2-liter engine and a custom interior decorated with blue leather and elaborate embroidery. Given that it only has a top speed of 114 MPH, it is more of a luxury vehicle than a fast car. If she ever needs to flee quickly after robbing a bank, she probably won't be driving this because it takes 10.3 seconds to reach 60 MPH. Jay Z gave Beyoncé this hot car as a $1 million birthday present for her.

Cadillac Escalade

You may have observed that Jay Z and Beyoncé have a sizable collection of cars from other countries, but they also have some from the United States. Beyoncé gets behind the wheel of her Cadillac Escalade whenever she has the need to act like a typical low-level rich. In addition to delivering built-in Wi-Fi, a cutting-edge sound system, and motorized everything, this behemoth has a 6.2-liter V8 engine and convenience features like heated seats and a heated steering wheel. The fact that buying one of these high-end SUVs for under $100,000 won't empty the bank account is an additional benefit. At least it won't cause Beyoncé's bank account to collapse.

Pagani Zonda F

Jay Z could always find work as a pizza delivery driver if he ever needs to work a part-time job to support his attractive wife and lavish lifestyle. In this Italian-built vehicle, he would undoubtedly do his new duties in elegance. This vehicle accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in an astounding 3.6 seconds and features a 7.3-liter V-12 engine. This Pagani Zonda F, which retails for $670,000, is a wonderful example of sportiness and luxury and is sure to turn heads. Jay Z will be able to deliver those pizzas to the door while they're still steaming hot thanks to the Zonda F's top speed of 214 MPH.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

It must be difficult to choose a birthday present for one of the wealthiest people in the world. Beyoncé had to deal with this conundrum as Jay Z neared his 41st birthday, but she overcame it by buying her husband a new automobile. No, we're not referring to a used 1974 Ford Maverick with worn tires. Beyoncé spent nearly $2 million to purchase this Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, which has a turbo quad W16 engine that can accelerate this opulent Sportster to 255 MPH. With 1,190 BPH, the Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60 in an astounding 2.6 seconds.

Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR

The stunning Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR was the result of a collaborative effort between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren employees. Only 3,500 of these vehicles were ever made, and one of them can be found in Jay Z and Beyoncé's driveway. The Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR boasts a top speed of 200 MPH with a lightweight 5.4-liter V-8 engine that can reach 60 MPH in under 3.4 seconds with a 5-speed transmission. Although its $455,500 price tag is out of the grasp of the majority of us common folk, the Carters can afford it at a significant discount. How wonderful for Jay Z and B!

Maybach Exelero

When purchasing an automobile, how much is too much? Most of us would probably never think about paying more than $100,000 on a car. In reality, the average Larry Lunchbucket probably only pays a small portion of that amount for his or her car. When you learn how much Mr. Carter paid for his MaybackExelero, you'll need to sit down if you're jealous of Jay Z and Queen Bey's million-dollar whips. You should expect to pay a lot because his 2-seater coupe is the finest of the best and can travel 200 MPH to the recording studio. $one million? $two million? Nowhere near that. The tycoon shelled out an astounding $8 million for this opulent gadget.

The Family Van

When it comes to transporting the kids to soccer practice, a compact, quick, and exorbitantly costly sports car isn't exactly practical. Jay Z and Beyoncé realized they needed to consider other transportation options as their family quickly expanded, and they came to the conclusion that purchasing a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Limousine was the best option. Additionally, this isn't your typical Ford Econoline. In addition to having amenities like a restroom, a shower, Direct TV, and a $150,000 sound system, this luxury van can transport the entire family as well as a few notable guests practically anywhere in elegance. When you're as well-off as Jay Z and Beyoncé, style is everything.

Chrysler Pacifica

Even Beyoncé has her moments when she doesn't want to draw attention. She occasionally just wants to pass for one of the rest of us and keep a low profile. Maybe she's taking the kids to Walmart to take advantage of the fantastic back-to-school deals, or maybe the family just wants to covertly use their soon-to-expire 2-for-1 Whopper coupons at Burger King. In any case, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is the ideal family wagon for carrying out this task. The Carters may blend in with the crowd and conduct their daily activities without being overly disturbed when they pile into this limited-edition vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Who can truly say what would drive someone to own that many vehicles? Ego? Boredom? a limited span of attention? Maybe it's a severe addiction to that intoxicating new-car scent? Whatever the reason, Jay Z and Beyoncé constantly seem to be adding new cars to their collection, and they especially seem to be drawn to Mercedes-Benz models. With a 9-speed 4.0-liter V8 bi-turbo engine and 463 horsepower, this Mercedes-Benz S-Class accelerates to 60 mph in a respectable 4.6 seconds. It costs around $100,000, but given the Carters' history, extras costing at least that much are likely to have been added. The sound system is probably more expensive than the average car on its own.

Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

Few automakers can match Porsche's ability to combine luxury, sportiness, and the capacity to travel at terrifyingly high speeds. This quick 7-speed rear-wheel drive Porsche 911 Carrera is another expensive vehicle you'll notice parked on the Carter estate. Jay Z should not stress if he is a few minutes late for a crucial appointment because this fast car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 190 mph. In fact, it has a top speed of 100 MPH in less than 9 seconds, which is fast enough to cause your stomach's contents to rise to the top of your throat.

Rolls-Royce Phantom

Jay Z may have given Beyoncé a pricey Rolls-Royce for her 25th birthday, but he won't let her be the only member of the family to travel in such luxury. Additionally, Mr. Carter owns a Rolls-Royce. The 6.75 V12 engine of his Rolls-Royce Phantom generates 453 horsepower. It includes a couple televisions, plush upholstery, and power for everything in addition to an ashtray for the ashes from Jay Z's large fat cigarettes. Although it may not be the fastest vehicle in his extensive collection, it is undoubtedly one of the most opulent.

Ferrari F430 Spider

This Ferrari F430 Spider is one of Jay Z's favorite vehicles, not that we're trying to make the other vehicles in his collection envious. It's not hard to understand why either. Having a 32-valve V8 engine that can accelerate this speedy vehicle from 0 to 60 in only 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of just about 200 MPH, Jay Z can draw admiring glances from bystanders. If he attaches the hard top, he can enjoy a quieter and slightly faster ride, and with the darkly tinted windows, he can make people wonder who is driving this great sports vehicle. He had no issue paying the $220,000 required to take the wheel.

Range Rover

You never know when your trips might involve navigating rugged terrain, wading through muck, or enduring other inclement weather conditions like snow and torrential rain. If you're driving a Bugatti, Ferrari, or classic Alfa Romeo, these conditions aren't ideal. Because of this, having a backup car like Jay Z and Beyoncé's Range Rover is a great idea. These cars provide a ton more than your standard 4x4. They have been improved over several generations, beginning in the 1970s, and they are rather generous in the luxury department. Additionally, they have enough room to fit the full Carter family.

Maybach 57S

This item slightly veers off the theme, but it had to be included on the list because of its crazy backstory. Jay Z and Kanye West bought this 2004 Maybach 57S together for the "Otis" music video. After filming the video, the two decided to auction off the $350,000 car and give the funds to drought assistance in East Africa, but not before taking a blowtorch to it and essentially destroying it. For the video shoot, they tore off the top, changed the front grilles, added flame-throwing tailpipes, and a bunch of attractive girls. The fact that they were allowed to deduct the car from their taxes is another absurd aspect of this tale.

Bentley Continental GT

For decades, Bentley has produced high-end automobiles for the affluent, and each year they seem to get more opulent and powerful. The brain trust at Bentley seized the opportunity after Maybach ceased production in 2012 by reaching out to its previous clients, including Jay Z, King Juan Carlos, and actor Samuel L. Jackson. This strategy had a decent level of success. Jay Z appears to have added one of these high-end cars to his fleet using some of the additional cash he received from his paper route. The Continental GT boasts a top speed of almost 190 MPH, but despite its size, its cutting-edge V8 can accelerate this beast from 0 to 60 in just 4.6 seconds.

Maybach 62S

Jay Z appreciates a lot of the finer things in life, like Maybachs, excellent cigars, fine wines, and a particularly fine wine. Jay Z also owns a Maybach 62S, which should not be confused with the other Maybachs that are listed here. Between 2002 and 2012, these 4-door cars were made, and celebrities and the affluent favored them. Despite weighing over 6,000 pounds and being equipped with a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 612 horsepower, the 62S can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.5 seconds. The 62S had a price tag close to $500,000 even though it wasn't the priciest Maybach model. Oh, yeah, and those are the selections alone.

Tesla Model S

Okay, it's a stretch to imagine the Carters traveling in a Prius, but Jay Z moved in that direction in 2014 when he bought a Tesla Model S that had been "murdered out." Murder out? Yes. That is to say, this Tesla Model S has been painted black, has black aftermarket wheels, windows that have been heavily tinted, and a ton of additional blackening aftermarket equipment including black taillight covers. With the help of his new vehicle, he was able to join the ranks of other actors who try to convince people that they are saving the world, including Ed Begley Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio. With this number and range of vintage gems, Beyoncé and Jay Z should consider building a museum of classics (and we’ll definitely add it to our list of top destinations for classic car lovers)!
