15 Loaded Celebs That Drive Garbage Cars

Life

10. Jay Leno

Jay Leno is on millions of television screens every night on The Tonight Show. The late-night talk show host has an estimated net worth of over $350 million. Jay Leno has one of the largest car collections in the world, with over 250 automobiles that have an estimated worth of over $50 million. He owns super unique cars like a 1909 Baker electric car and a McLaren MP4-12 supercar. However, this does not mean that Leno did not let a few garbage clunkers slide into his ridiculously diverse car collection.

Jay still owns a 1991 GMC Syclone that is tucked away in his multi-car garage. There were less than 3,000 GMC Syclone cars to ever be produced. The pickup truck looks like any other standard GMC except it has a turbocharged 4.3 LV6 that produces 280 hp for the AWD system. It costs around $26,000 for a new truck.

9. Zac Efron

Zac Efron got his start in acting with his breakout role in the Disney Channel hit movie, High School Musical. Since then, he has gone on to star in big movies like 17 Again, The Lucky One, Neighbors, and Baywatch. Efron has an estimated net worth of around $18 million and could definitely afford to be driving around a nicer car than he was for a while.

The Hollywood star was known for driving a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero around Hollywood. The model of car was only produced between 1998 and 2004 and the Alero was actually the last car produced by the Oldsmobile brand. The actor eventually gave his car to a charity organization who auctioned it off. He upgraded and got himself and Audi A8.

8. Conan O’Brien

Conan O’Brien got his start in the entertainment industry writing for Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons. He has had a successful career in comedy and then went on to do work on Late Night and The Tonight Show before landing his own series, Conan. Despite all of the money he has made working over the years, Conan cannot bear to part ways with his old 1992 Ford Taurus SHO.

Conan’s Taurus has a 3.0L V6 engine, which produces 220 hp, which is not impressive by today’s standards but two decades ago, it would have been more than enough. It only cost him around $24,000 back when he bought it. Nowadays, you can find a used Taurus to buy for only a couple thousand dollars.

7. Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake started off his wildly successful music career as the lead singer of the boy band, N’SYNC. Today, he is topping the charts with hit song after hit song. He is also married to Hollywood actress Jessica Biel. Timberlake does not need to be frugal with his money in any sense but he still drives around in his fourth-generation Volkswagen Jetta. The car only costs around $16,000 and is an extremely practical choice for the pop star with a net worth of around $230 million.

Maybe the “Can’t Stop The Feeling” singer likes to have an average-looking car so that he can run to the store when he needs to without being hounded by the paparazzi. Whatever the reason, you will not catch J.T. riding around town in a fancy Ferrari.
