From hand-built sports cars to modest saloons, the world’s richest people own an eclectic mix of cheap and luxury vehicles
If you had all the money in the world, what type of car would you buy? Would it be a US$3 million Rolls-Royce, a US$574,000 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, or a more subtle Honda Accord?
While some multibillionaires have chosen to spend some of their wealth on expensive cars, others have taken a more modest route.
From hand-built cars to common roadsters, these are the cars 10 of the some of wealthiest people in the world drive.
Jeff Bezos
Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos – the world’s richest man – owns a 12 per cent stake in the US technology company, Amazon, worth about US$114.8 billion following his divorce from his former wife, MacKenzie.
Yet despite his wealth, in 1999 Bezos was still driving a 1996 Honda Accord – two years after the e-commerce company went public.
When asked about his vehicle of choice in a 1999 episode of the US TV programme 60 Minutes, the American said: “This is a perfectly good car.”
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the car in 1996 was US$17,890.
