When money is no object, you’d think that billionaires would only have go around in those limited edition and rare cars available, which ordinary people can only dream of having. But you might be surprised to know that some of them don’t actually mind simple cars. See what cars these 15 billionaires actually own.
Carlos Slim Helu
Being the richest man in the world with a $69 billion worth definitely has its perks. Don’t be surprised to see the Mexican telecom tycoon being chauffeured around in his Bentley Continental Flying Spur with a whopping $300,000 price tag.
Mark Zuckerberg
You’d think that the world’s second youngest self-made billionaire and founder of Facebook would go for flashy cars, and yet he’s driving an Acura TSX—one of the cheapest cars.
Bill Gates
Despite the fact that the former CEO of Microsoft was able to top the America’s Most Wealthiest Individual not just once but many times, he’s rather modest. Considering that the Microsoft founder’s daily drive is a Porsche 959 Coupe.
Steve Ballmer
Bill Gate’s colleague, another Microsoft man, likewise chose an environment friendly and modest Ford Fusion Hybrid.
Michael Bloomberg
For most wealthy people, time is literally gold. No wonder the data mogul opted for an ultra-fast Audi R8. In the financial world, speed is indeed vital alright.
Alice Walton
For a woman who is the second richest woman in the world, it’s unlikely that the Wal-Mart Heiress prefers a 2006 Ford F-150 King Ranch. You really can’t judge a book by its cover.
Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud
The Rolls-Royce Phantom that costs $246,000, is hands-down a Prince material kind of car. Just look at the Saudi’s Prince’s ride and you’ll know why.
Eric Schmidt
Some wealthy people seem more comfortable not taking the spotlight on the road. An $11,000 second-gen Toyota Prius lets the software engineer, businessman and executive chairman of Google go from point A to point B incognito.
Warren Buffet
Billionaires sure knows when to splurge and when not to. Take it from the most successful investor of the 20th century who opted to support General Motors in the recent financial crisis and subsequent government bailout with his Cadillac DTS.
Michael Dell
The founder of Dell Inc rolls with a 2004 Porsche Boxster. Not bad for a homegrown geek and college dropout with a net worth of $15.5 billion.
Francois-Henri Pinault
The CEO of PPR who’s also married to actress Salma Hayek goes around in a Lexus LS SUV.
Ingvard Kamprad
He’s the man behind exquisite furniture that we’d love to see in our homes, IKEA. With a fortune of $28 billion, this guy sticks with his 1993 Volvo 240.
Larry Ellison
Cars like McLaren F1 could only be ours in our dreams. But the Oracle founder drives this around for real and, take note, it’s just one of his car collections. Yeah, jaw-dropping. Just imagine how much a paintless dent removal would cost him if that gets into even a small accident bump.
Laurene Powell
Steve Jobs widow didn’t just worked hard all those years just to give his wife a phone. His hard work have also allowed him to provide his widow a silver Audi A5.
Phil Knight
Nikes co-founder and chairman don’t just have nice shoes, he also have a nice Audi R8.
With these billionaires net worth, those car grooming expenses that we almost always complain about should be nothing as long as it keeps their ride in tip top condition.
