Another supercar, another celebrity. There isn't much that surprises admirers of the rich and famous when celebrities purchase the most unique, colorful, and downright ridiculous high-performance vehicles. After all, where else would they put their billions?
For some celebrities, exotic automobiles are a source of joy, while for others, they are a means of expanding their collections. Some celebrities buy and sell rare cars in the same manner that art investors buy and sell Monet and Gauguin paintings. While the typical person's bank account can't afford a new Lamborghini or Mercedes, celebrities have access to some of the best sports cars available. Here are some celebrities who have received luxury vehicles as gifts!
This was always going to be gossip magazine material. Floyd Mayweather is back in town, this time in a rare Bugatti Veyron. This car is so uncommon that Mayweather's colleague Obi Okeke dubbed it a “one-of-a-kind model.” Mayweather received another Bugatti around the time of his fight against Connor McGregor, this time with a deep, rich triple red paint job. However, with a price tag of $3.3 million, it appears completely out of reach. That is until you learn that Mayweather was set to earn $300 million from his bout with McGregor.
As a birthday gift one year, Kanye West received a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 with 700 horsepower because he knows that no rap celebrity should drive around in a Toyota Corolla! However, in true Kanye fashion, he eventually sold his car after only driving it for fewer than 2,000 miles. While he certainly could have asked much more for it, he reportedly sold it for $444,995.

Craig chose the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster as a special gift for his 45th birthday. Craig received this V12 monster at his London home. Bond fans must beg the question: Is there a missile launcher and a defibrillator stashed in the glovebox? Probably not, but the gift was a unique way to commemorate his birthday.
