Aston Martin One-77

Celebrity owner(s): Samuel Et’oo

One of Aston Martin‘s rarest supercars, the One-77 was introduced in 2008 with a stylish aerodynamic design, sharp lines and low profile on a lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis.

Packing a punch under the hood, it’s fitted with a 7.3-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine, producing 750 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, good for 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 354 km/h (220 mph).

Only 77 units were produced, but former Cameroonian soccer player, Samuel Eto’o, owns one.

Rolls-Royce Boat Tail

Celebrity owner(s): Mauro Icardi, Beyoncé and Jay-Z

The magnificent Boat Tail is not just any car – it’s the epitome of excellence.

Custom-built by Rolls-Royce, it’s often referred to as a ‘land yacht’, thanks to its expansive rear deck, reminiscent of a luxury yacht’s stern.

The 19-foot, four-seater convertible comes equipped with a parasol and a telescopic table that automatically extends, ideal for a picturesque picnic for two.

Inside, silvery cutlery and porcelain plates from Christofle elevate the experience, as do the two refrigerators tailored for champagne bottles.

Under the hood, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail is powered by a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 engine which packs nearly 600 horsepower, capable of 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around 5.3 seconds.

McLaren F1

Celebrity owner(s): Ralph Lauren, Jay Leno, Elon Musk, Rowan Atkinson, Lewis Hamilton

The McLaren F1 is the fastest naturally-aspirated road car ever built.

According to the brand, Gordon Murray’s creation is considered one of the “greatest supercar ever built”.

Only 106 were produced, making it one of the most exclusive supercars in the world today.

Powering the McLaren F1 is a 6.1-liter V12 engine producing a eye-watering 627 horsepower, rocketing the F1 to 97 km/h (60 mph) from a standstill in 3.2 seconds and reaching a top speed of 372 km/h (231 mph).

Famous faces behind the wheel of a McLaren F1 (past and present) include Ralph Lauren, Jay Leno, Elon Musk, Rowan Atkinson and Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari Monza SP

Celebrity owner(s): Gordon Ramsay, Max Verstappen, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The Ferrari Monza SP has no shortage of celebrity admirers which is understandable, as it’s one of the most extreme Prancing Horse supercars you can buy.

It’s based on the Ferrari 812 Superfast, but its unique design was inspired by race cars from the 1950s.

The open-top design has a low windshield and a safety roll bar.

There’s a choice of the single-seater Monza SP1 or the Monza SP2, which can carry a passenger – both valued at $2 million.

Both supercars feature a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 producing 809 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque, capable of 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 299 km/h (186 mph).

Bugatti Centodieci

Celebrity owner(s): Cristiano Ronaldo

Here’s yet another car in Ronaldo’s impressive fleet as he tops Forbes’ World Highest-Paid Athletes 2023 list.

Out of his three Bugattis, the Centodieci is arguably the most impressive and rarest of the lot.

The Bugatti Centodieci features an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, producing a whopping 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft or torque.

The Centodieci will hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in only 2.4 seconds, and go on to reach a top speed of 379 km/h (236 mph).
