Amber Heard
Ford Mustang $150K Amber Heard is a car lover. She loves muscle, and she loves her 1968 Ford Mustang best. As her very first car, it’s chock full of memories and sentiment and she simply adores it. Her baby was lovingly restored in 2015 as a surprise by her then-husband Johnny Depp. He played a trick on her. The car had been stolen twice before, so he told her it had been swiped again. Meanwhile, he took it to the set of Overhaulin’.
When it was finished, Amber was ecstatically surprised to see her silver Mustang transformed into a gorgeous glossy cherry-red automotive masterpiece. With added celebrity-effect, it’s worth $150,000. After the divorce, Heard kept her Mustang. She also got the 2015 Range Rover and a horse. She attributes her love of muscle cars to her Texan background which may come as a surprise. On the big screen, the versatile actress transitions seamlessly from Pineapple Express to Justice League. She played a punk rocker in Her Smell.
Nick Jonas
Shelby Mustang $68K The days of performing with his brothers on the Disney Channel may be far behind this popstar, but movies and a solo career keep him busy. Plus, rumors of a Jonas Brothers reunion culminated with the band’s first new single, “Sucker.” Happily married to actress Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas is no longer the teen-bop star we remember. Jonas loves his new wife, and he loves American muscle. Featured here is his 1968 vintage Shelby Mustang. The ‘Stang’s original V8, introduced in 1968, muscles out a 290-horsepower engine.
No wonder Jonas fancied sporting this classic American beauty around town. The classic car was his first, a 16th birthday gift. It’s rumored to be worth $68,000. He’s also got some modern muscle with a Chevy Camaro SS convertible and a Dodge Challenger R/T. Another classic car he owns is a flaming-red, immaculately restored 1960 Ford Thunderbird convertible. Additionally, he sports a sleek BMW 5-Series sedan as a chauffeured ride. But he’s not a complete petrol head. In his collection of fine automobiles is an all-electric, hybrid convertible Fisker Karma. Marrying Priyanka has upgraded his garage with some pretty posh rides. She’s added a couple of serious German machines to his American family.
Bradley Cooper
Mercedes-Benz G55 $220K As the top-paid actor in Hollywood for three years running, Bradley Cooper can buy any vehicle he wants, even after slipping behind Vin Diesel this year. He’s got a few, as you may imagine, including a black 2007 Prius, a navy-blue Vespa, and a couple of Triumph Thurston motorcycles. He told Vogue he uses his Prius for chauffeuring his chow-retriever, Charlotte, around town. But when he’s serious about transport, he takes his 2004 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Wagon.
It’s worth about $220,000. Some of us might purchase a modest abode with such a sum, but when you need a veritable German tank to traverse mountain terrain, the G-class is the machine of choice. He’s in good company. The Pope also rides a G-class. The G-Wagon has a boxy frame based on an armored-patrol vehicle. It has a 5.4-liter V8 engine that produces 507 HP. It’s a serious machine.
Katy Perry
Audi 5 $60K The Audi is the car of choice for many celebrities. This sizzling-hot popstar, likewise, opted for the classy German coupe from Audi AG, a member of the Volkswagen Group. Katy Perry also owns a pink Smart car, but the super-sleek, black Audi 5 looks a lot nicer on her. Plus, it’s got all-wheel drive which leaves the flimsy Smart car in the dust. According to the folks over at Bustle, Perry splurged on her staff by purchasing each of her five assistants an eco-friendly Fisker Karma. At $100,000 a pop, the generous gesture won’t be forgotten.
She picked one up for herself too. She also owns a Tesla Model S, because she really does prefer electric, but she balances it out with her most expensive ride, a $300,000 Maserati Grancabrio. And, not to mention, the petrol-swilling $200,000 Ferrari California. She’s also got a relatively modest Mercedes-Benz W180 in the garage. Together, her auto investment is $350 million.
Oprah Winfrey
VW Beetle $30K Oprah’s known for giving cars away to her studio audience, but what kind of car does she keep for herself? This Volkswagen Beetle, for one. She gave 275 members of her audience a 2012 VW Beetle during her “Oprah’s Favorite Things” promotion, and she kept a bright red shiny one for herself besides. Volkswagen donated the cars that featured their new curvy design. By now, the model has been discontinued. Collector’s items, anyone? But let’s get real. What does Oprah really like to drive? Try her classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.
This rare 1950s gem is one of 1,400 models. The Cadillac Escalade is a practical transportation alternative, only outdone by her Lincoln Navigator. Oprah’s sending a message by owning a Tesla Model S, something to get her around Mendocino without smogging up the view. And finally, a luxury home garage isn’t a garage without a Mercedes. Oprah’s holds the E-Class Coupe.
