Six-time NBA All-Star, Jimmy Butler, aka Jimmy Buckets, might be worth $60,000,000 – according to Forbes – but his elegantly modest car collection whispers wealth rather than screams it.
The notably understated fleet is reflective of the Golden State Warriors player’s grounded personality.
Consisting largely of American classic cars and practical off-road vehicles and SUVs, it’s far from the flashy and impractical car collection you might expect from a young sports star.
Time to swing open the garage doors and take a look inside.

The American cars of NBA star, Jimmy Butler
A standout in his collection, and featuring a red exterior, black accents, as well as off-road capabilities, this classic Ford Bronco was in production between 1966 and 1977.
Next, a far more modern car. The 2023 Cadillac Escalade, valued at $79,295, is a stunning combination of 6.2-liter V8 power with spacious luxury and comfort.
Jimmy Butler has a custom Chevy Silverado, which is matte black with chrome wheels and a powerful V8 engine, and reflective of Butler’s rugged automotive MO.
German, Japanese, and British cars
Perhaps the sleekest of his fleet, is the Porsche Carrera S.
It has a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine that produces 443HP and, as the perfect blend of design and performance, is worth $130,000.
Butler’s off-black Jeep Wrangler features a matte and minimalist design, coupled with rugged off-roading capabilities, highlighting the NBA star’s love for adventure and the great outdoors.
His 2017 Toyota Sienna is a somewhat surprising $30,000 choice. But considering its practicality, spaciousness, all-wheel drive, and Butler’s two children – it does make sense.
Perhaps the jewel in his understated collection is his $170,000+ Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600.
The luxury SUV combines, of course, the performance of 550HP with top-tier comfort.
Overall, Butler’s car choices are humble and prioritize functionality, performance, and subtle luxury over being flashy or extravagant.
Rugged, elegant, and practical, it’s the perfect refresher from the car collections of other elite players.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
