15 Loaded Celebs That Drive Garbage Cars

Life

4. Lily Allen

Lilly Allen may be a hit-making songwriter who wrote tracks like “Smile” and “Not Fair” but she is not too fancy for her Ford Focus. The singer drives around in her lime green Focus, which only cost her around $16,000. The car may have also been a gift from Ford as a ploy for the singer to promote the car. In this case, the car would have been free. There is nothing cheaper than free. Either way, Allen could definitely afford a nicer car with an estimated net worth of $20 million.

This pop star certainly does not look like one when she is off duty and driving around in her average-looking car. You probably would not even recognize her if you saw her driving around town.

3. Colin Farrell

Colin Farrell is an Irish-American actor had his breakthrough role in the 1998 film, The War Zone, and has starred in hit flicks like Total Recall, The Beguiled, Horrible Bosses, and Pride and Glory. Farrell’s had a long acting career and has an estimated net worth of over $30 million. Despite his financial comfortability, Farrell still likes to keep things cheap and simple, especially when it comes to the car he drives.

Colin drives a fifth generation Ford Bronco from the mid-nineties. The SUV is known for its strong build and quality V6 and V8 engines but it is hardly the top of the line when it comes to SUVs. Regardless, Farrell loves driving his old clunker and has not traded it in for a newer model. Older Broncos in good condition will actually go for around $40,000, which is still not much for the multimillionaire.

2. Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood is a legend in the acting world and has directed and produced his own films as well. You would probably recognize him from Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino, Dirty Harry, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Eastwood has an estimated net worth of over $375 million. You could say he is pretty well off but this Hollywood big shot does not look like he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars when he is driving around on the streets.

Clint drives a GMC Typhoon, a limited-edition SUV series built in 1992 until 1993. The car looks similar to GM’s popular Jimmy SUV series. Eastwood’s Typhoon has a turbocharged 4.3L V6 engine that produces 280 hp for the AWD system. It also has a 0-60 time of only 5.3 seconds. However, the car is only worth $20,000 to $30,000.

1. Ed Begley Jr.

Ed Begley Jr. is not necessarily a name that you will remember but he probably has a face that you would recognize. Begley has had roles in major movies like Ghostbusters, Pineapple Express, and popular shows like Better Call Saul, Portlandia, Monk, and 7th Heaven. Although he may not be as rich as some of the other celebrities on this list, Begley is definitely still well off. He had an estimated net worth of $5 million as of 2013, but he still drives around in a Toyota RAV4.

The car only costs around $24,000 but it is an environmentally friendly car. However, the actor could definitely do better for himself in the car department if he wanted to. There are a wide variety of economically sound cars on the market today but Ed still chose to go for one of the most average cars around.
