Lots of celebrities love to show off their fancy, luxurious cars for the world to see. Actors and music stars are often seen flaunting their hot rides around town, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to pimp out their rides. It is not unusual for celebrities to spend six figures on their car or to have multiple cars. Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, and Rolls Royces are among the norm for these wealthy Hollywood folks. However, there are some celebrities that feel they have nothing to prove to anyone and do not mind riding around in a clunker of a car. You would be surprised by some of the rich and wealthy stars that are driving cheap cars.
The cars that these 15 celebrities drive are definitely cheap by celebrity standards. These industry professionals have millions and millions of dollars and could afford any car they wanted, so why choose an average car? Some celebrities drive less expensive, environmentally-friendly cars, some drive old cars that they feel nostalgic about, some like being anonymous in an average-looking car, and some are just frugal and do not want to spend a lot of money. Regardless, they have all spent less than $50,000 on their cars, which is mere chump change for these well-to-do, affluent people.
Whether these celebrities would rather spend all of their millions on humungous houses or lavish jewelry or just do not want to have a flashy, shiny car, these 15 celebrities are extremely loaded but still drive absolutely garbage cars.
15. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most well-known actors in the world, starring in blockbuster hits like The Departed, Titanic, and Wolf of Wall Street. This Hollywood star’s estimated net worth is over $245 million. However, he does not spend his millions on his cars. Leo drives an environmentally-friendly Toyota Prius.
DiCaprio is known for being an environmental advocate, which may have been his motivation behind purchasing this four-cylinder electric car. He has been a Prius owner since the car was first introduced in 1997, which was also the year his breakout movie Titanic came out. A Toyota Prius goes for between $19,600 and $29,900 which seems to have been relatively easy on the millionaire’s wallet. Leo does not hide the fact that he owns a cheap car and may have sacrificed speed and luxury for his Prius. He is regularly spotted driving around town by the paparazzi.
14. Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks is a successful actor and producer who probably does not need any introduction. Hanks has starred in classic films like Forrest Gump, The Da Vinci Code, Saving Private Ryan, and Cast Away. He has been working in the film industry for the last thirty years or so and has definitely raked in a decent amount of cash. He has an estimated net worth of around $350 million but that does not stop Tom from driving around in his Scion xB.
There is nothing wrong with a Scion xB, but it is not exactly the luxurious car that you would expect one of the world’s biggest movie stars to be driving. The car costs a mere $15,000. The actor has apparently modified the engine of the car to be electric. The cost of that is reportedly somewhere around $55,000 but that is chump change for a multi-millionaire like himself.
