The monthly cost for this YouTuber’s supercars is unimaginably expensive.
Steve Hamilton is founder of The Hamilton Collection and SD Wheel – and just one of his supercars costs $38k per month.
In fact, in total the YouTuber shells out an unbelievable $135,000 per month on car payments for his fleet.

He’s always been honest about financing cars but never revealed the real reason why before.
In addition to creating YouTube content, Hamilton also amassed his wealth via SD Wheel.
His business is a mail order aftermarket wheel and tire company.
What’s more, he also uses his fortune to help others access supercars, via The Hamilton Collection.
The smart service allows users to rent a slot with a supercar, rather than making a huge financial commitment.
Most people who buy supercars finance them rather than paying outright.
That’s because paying cash means tying up millions that could be invested elsewhere – like downpayment on other vehicles.

While some of his supercars required a seven-figure deposit, Hamilton decided to finance several cars in his fleet.
The Bugatti Chiron SS required $1.75 million down, his Rimac Nevera cost $1.125 million outright, his Koenigsegg Jesko was an initial $1.8 million, his Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution $1 million, and the Pagani Utopia was $360,000.
His Tesla Roadster and Koenigsegg Gemera required smaller deposits to bring the total to $6.5 million.
He has several more supercars including a Bugatti Chiron on the way, too.
Let’s take a look at some of the car’s in Hamilton’s garage taking a chunk of change out of his monthly income.

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.”
