Its ultra-expensive price tag is not for naught; Ferrari promises a premium motoring experience, and several famous personalities are known to own not just one, but a fleet of them. Let’s take a look at the most expensive Ferraris owned by celebrities.

Ferrari has long held a place at the top of the game in motorsports, with their racing division Scuderia Ferrari recently making the headlines with one of the biggest driver transfers in Formula 1 history. Enter seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who recently announced his upcoming move to Ferrari for the 2025 season. After winning six of his championship titles with Mercedes, Hamilton announced his shock move to Ferrari on February 3 in an Instagram post, calling it the “hardest decision” he has ever had to make. He also spoke about fulfilling his childhood dream of “Driving in Ferrari red” as he confirmed his transfer.

While Hamilton gears up to race in red for the next F1 season, several celebrities have been taking out their Ferraris for a spin, just to run their errands. The Italian car brand is a known favourite for a few notable names, including the likes of billionaire and esteemed designer Ralph Lauren, Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay, and others. Read on to learn more about those who have invested millions in multiple Ferrari models.

A Look at most expensive Ferraris owned by celebrities

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sleek Ferrari Purosangue

At the start of 2024, the Cristiano Ronaldo announced a brand new addition to his luxury car collection, sharing shared a photo of his new purchase on Instagram. Looking fabulous in a Gucci tracksuit, the football legend posed alongside his dark blue Purosangue model, which is known to be equipped with a V12 engine. The starting price of the car is estimated to be USD 400,000; however, the final price can easily surpass half a million dollars with even the most basic of add-ons. According to Ferrari, the Purosangue can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour.

This is not the only Ferrari owned by the footballer, who captains and plays as a forward for Saudi Arabia‘s Al Nassr. His expensive car collection also includes the F12 TDF – the Tour de France model.

Ralph Lauren’s iconic Ferrari collection

Ralph Lauren‘s car collection is estimated to be worth USD 600 million, and it is been well-known that the designer is particularly fond of Ferraris. The impressive collection includes the 1954 Ferrari 375 Plus, the 1965 365 P2, and several iterations of the iconic 250 model. The most spectacular of these are the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, and, of course, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) which is best-known for its attractive design, which emulates a race car.

The 250 GTO is an exclusive car to own, considering its history. As per reports, the model was produced in a small batch of just 36 units, with owners personally selected by Enzo Ferrari himself before the purchases could be made. It’s estimated value sits at approximately USD 48.4 million.

Gordon Ramsay’s luxurious collection of Ferraris

This celebrity chef counts a magnificent fleet of Ferraris in his collection of cars. Among these is the LaFerrari Aperta, an incredibly limited car with only 210 units produced, even requiring an exclusive invitation to make the purchase. Ramsay is known to share a great relationship with the Italian car brand, and has also visited the automaker’s home in Maranallo on multiple occasion, proving his love and loyalty for the iconic red. It has been reported that he bought the LaFerrari Aperta for a staggering USD 2.2 million. The car features a 6.3L V12 engine that is backed up by a dual electric motor, and can reach a speed of over 218 mph. On welcoming his LaFerrari Aperta home, Ramsay too posted a video on Instagram, capturing his excitement of adding yet another smooth ride to his impressive collection.

Apart from this model, the chef also owns a Ferrari 550 Maranello, which was gifted to him by his wife. Additionally, his luxury car collection also includes other models such as the Ferrari F430 GTB, Ferrari F12TDF, and a Ferrari SP2 Monza.

Drake’s ‘Flying Ferrari’

We know Ferraris can’t fly, but trust Drake to find a way. Back in 2018, the rapper incorporated an inflatable version of his sports car, the yellow Ferrari LaFerrari, into his shows. At the concerts, Drake would start the song Yes Indeed featuring Lil Baby, following which an inflatable LaFerrari would appear and fly around the whole venue. It has been revealed that the ‘flying car’ was a remote-controlled balloon which was slightly smaller than the actual vehicle.

The popular car also appeared in the singer’s music video for I’m Upset. Estimated to be worth approximately USD 3.5 million, the Ferrari LaFerrari is powered by a 6.3-liter V12 engine that works with an electric motor, and is equipped to go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 218 mph.

Harry Styles’ retro Ferrari

Singer Harry Styles has a taste for luxury cars, and so it’s not surprising that his collection includes a classic 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT valued at approximately USD 362,450. The bright yellow car is known to be one of the singer’s favourites, and he has been spotted out and about in London with the retro beauty. The 246 GT model offers a top speed of 146 mph, and it can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.

Among car enthusiasts, the Ferrari Dino 246 GT is considered to be a symbol of automotive excellence, and the current price of the car also suggests its appeal. Most notably, at a recent auction, the same Ferrari model fetched a staggering USD 635,000.

Khloe Kardashian’s Ferrari 488 Spyder

Khloe Kardashian has premium tastes when it comes to luxury cars, and she has a garage full of them, including a Ferrari 488 Spyder. This Ferrari model was produced between 2015 to 2019, and after its introduction, it became one of the highest-selling V8-powered Ferrari of all time. Kardashian’s Ferrari 488 is not in the Ferrari’s signature red, but rather in a subtle shade of black, and it is outfitted with a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It also operates with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and the engine produces a maximum power output of 670 per second and a peak torque output of 760 Nm. Ferrari claims that the car can go from a 0 to 100 kmph in just 3 seconds.

The Ferrari 488 Spyder is estimated to be worth USD 263,000, a point of pride for Khloe, who has proudly flaunted her car collection in her Instagram posts. In 2021, the reality TV star posed alongside her black Ferrari, sporting a Chanel embossed body-suit.

Nick Mason’s USD 40 million Ferrari

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is known for his automotive investments, and particularly for his luxury car collection which includes a fleet of Ferraris and the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO. While the musician initially purchased the car for GBP 35,000 back in 1977, it is valued at a much higher price of USD 40 million (Approx. GBP 31.6 million) today.

Beyond Mason, the car also holds a special place at the heart of Pink Floyd. The drummer revealed in an interview that he had put the Ferrari 250 GTO up as collateral so Pink Floyd could borrow money for their massive A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. The band committed themselves to a massive schedule between September 1987 to June 1990, in which they played 198 shows. While there were doubts about Pink Floyd making the tour a financial success, the band managed to pull it off and Mason thankfully got to keep his car.

Simon Cowell’s very expensive Ferrari 458 Italia

The American Idol alum owns quite a few luxury cars, including a Bentley, Range Rover, Mercedes SL55 AMG, and more. His collection also includes multiple models of Ferraris. The judge and producer of The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent bought his Ferrari 458 Italia for approximately USD 250,000 in 2012. The car boasts of 562 horsepower under the hood and also offers a top speed of 202 mph. Other Ferraris in his collection include a black Ferrari California worth USD 202,000, and a Ferrari F430 Spider which is valued between USD 125,000 to USD 150,000.

Ferrari is known to be strict when it comes to maintaining its image. The Italian car manufacturer is known to handpick its clients as well.
