Determining the exact value of Jay Leno’s car collection is difficult, chiefly because Jay Leno himself isn’t sure how much his collection is worth, but we can try.

The 75-year-old comedian, now mostly retired, made a fortune hosting TV shows in the United States and spent most of that money putting together an incredible collection of vehicles.

No one knows exactly how many vehicles – and he probably doesn’t know that either.

But what we do know is that three vehicles alone account for around 50 percent of the total value of his collection.

Inside Jay Leno’s car collection

We said that Jay Leno is mostly retired because while it is true that he longer works in television, he still does stand-up shows and also hosts his YouTube channel, Jay Leno’s Garage.

Conservative estimates value Jay Leno’s car collection at around $50 million, but that doesn’t sound right.

Leno owns a 1995 McLaren F1 (along with a P1 and a W1), 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, and a 1934 Duesenberg Walker Coupe (pictured below).

These three cars alone are worth around $50 million.

On top of that, Leno owns hundreds of cars in total, and there’s no track record in the market for some of these vehicles.

For example, Jay Leno once collaborated with GM on a one-off supercar, and no one knows how much that would be worth if he tried to sell it.

He also owns a variety of experimental vehicles, including a Chrysler turbine vehicle, and these vehicles are also difficult to appraise.

With all of the above in mind, his car collection is probably worth closer to $100 million than to $50 million.

The only brand Jay Leno isn’t interested in

Jay Leno owns multiple Porsches, several Lamborghinis and just about any other brand you can think of.

And yet he doesn’t own a Ferrari.

He has often gone on record to explain why he doesn’t want to own a Ferrari.

In his view, it has nothing to do with the vehicles, but everything to do with the company.

Speaking on the YouTube podcast Cars and Culture, he explained that it’s the dealership and service that puts him off.

“Ferrari are excellent cars. It’s not an indictment of the car, it’s just that I don’t want… you know, you’re spending a tremendous amount of money, you should be made to feel like a customer,” he said.
