He shared the pictures on his Instagram account with the caption: "Fat Boy Money."
The full cost of the car is not known, but a second-hand Cullinan from 2023 retails at £284,950.
Benn also showed off his "Not Guilty" necklace as he picked up the car.
The £100,000 item of jewellery is a statement from Benn following his ban from boxing in 2022.
Meanwhile, Benn had only just got back from Miami, USA where he went to watch the F1.
He was spoken to by Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle and strangely congratulated for his loss to Eubank Jr.

Bobby Brazier calls dad Jeff a ‘rock' in sweet Father's Day post after brother Freddy makes rehab U-turn
It comes as the star's EastEnders future was recently revealed BOBBY Brazier has called his dad Jeff a 'rock' in a sweet Father Day's post - after his brother Freddy's rehab U-turn. The EastEnders star, 22, and younger sibling Freddy, 20, are sons of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody. 4 Bobby Brazier shared a sweet Father's Day message on Instagram Credit: Rex 4 He called dad Jeff "a rock" alongside a family snap Credit: Instagram 4 Freddy recently made a U-turn on entering rehab Credit: Getty Taking to Instagram, Bobby shared a photo of himself, Jeff and Freddy stood on a beach, looking out towards the ocean. With the three having their arms around each other in the snap, he captioned: "My dads a rock." It comes as Freddy made a shock U-turn on plans to enter rehab – just days after admitting he's been hooked on smoking since the age of 12. The Celebrity Race Across The World alum shared a dramatic change of heart on Instagram over the weekend. Posting a black and white throwback of himself as a child, Freddy wrote: 'You know what I don't need rehab! I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.' Freddy stunned followers when he opened up about a long-standing smoking addiction and a desire to make peace with his dad after a tense family rift. The 20-year-old, revealed he wanted to get help in Spain for cannabis, saying he 'wants a healthy relationship with his dad'. In a heartfelt post, he said: 'I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side.' Freddy also shared hopes of mending things with his famous father, saying: 'I want to play football and take up boxing. I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.' Elsewhere, elder son Bobby has "become a Hare Krishna" and is "seeking solace" in rituals following mum Jade's death. Freddy Brazier reunites with dad Jeff before heading to rehab in Spain amid concern over gran's 'harmful' influence The former Strictly finalist has become a regular at the Hare Krishna temple in Soho, where he takes part in communal prayers, chants mantras and helps prepare meals. Friends say Bobby's interest in spirituality has grown over the past year and is helping him process the lasting impact of losing his mum to cervical cancer in 2009, when he was just five. A volunteer at the temple told MailOnline: 'He's here every Saturday without fail. He joins our kitchen session, learns the prayers – this isn't a gimmick.' A family friend added: 'Bobby had a difficult life. His mum dying left a mark on him, as it would. "Hare Krishna is somewhere he seeks solace. It might seem strange, but for him, it works.' Last year, The Sun published images of Bobby joining in cha-cha-chanting at a Hare Krishna gathering on Oxford Street, where he was even seen handing out leaflets. Bobby said of the movement: 'I've had the blessing of meeting some incredible devotees who have really taken me under the wing and been really merciful upon me. "And they are just the most beautiful, happy, content, smart, intelligent people.' The young actor will also soon be leaving his EastEnders role as Freddie Slater. Inside Bobby Brazier's burgeoning TV career Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV. As the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age. Bobby first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling. The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn't long before he had his eyes on a TV career. He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in EastEnders. The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the National Television Award in the 'Rising Star' category. His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond. It wasn't long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing. He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up. Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running BBC One soap. An EastEnders spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.' A telly insider revealed: 'Bosses had a meeting with Bobby only recently as they had a plan in mind for a storyline, and it just so happened that Bobby was also thinking that now was the right time to look for other opportunities outside the show. 'The timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet. 'The character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for EastEnders to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.'

F1 Canadian Grand Prix: latest updates as Russell leads Verstappen
Latest updates Luke Slater. Tom Cary Senior Sports Correspondent, in Montreal 15 June 2025 7:21pm 7:21PM Lap 13 of 70 - Russell told to pit In he comes, so Kimi Antonelli assumes the lead. Has he led a grand prix before? I am completely sure. Verstappen out in ninth. Russell ahead in seventh. 2.7sec the gap between the pair now, so a slight gain for the Mercedes. 7:20PM Lap 12 of 70 - Verstappen pits from second! Antonelli closes up at the final hairpin... gets DRS and has a look up the inside... but Verstappen dives into the pits. Just as well Antonelli didn't choose to go around the outside. He goes onto the hard tyres. LAP 12/70 Antonelli on the inside of Verstappen into the final chicane... but the Red Bull heads for the pits! 📦 #F1 #CanadianGP — Formula 1 (@F1) June 15, 2025 Albon appears to have a power unit issue, though Williams are monitoring it, they say. 7:18PM Lap 11 of 70 - Norris into sixth Alonso doesn't really fight that one on the pit straight. No point, really. We are about to see a Verstappen/Antonelli fight for second now, though. This could be fun. 7:17PM Lap 10 of 70 - Speaking of Leclerc He is on the radio to his team. 'These tyres are not great,' he says. Antonelli now within DRS range of Verstappen for second. Russell around two seconds ahead of Verstappen. Norris right on the rear wing of Alonso. 'Yeah, not good. Really fragile,' is Verstappen's assessment of his tyres. 7:16PM Lap 9 of 70 - Spreading out at the front Nobody has DRS in the top 10. Then from Hadjar in 11th onwards they all have DRS down to Tsunoda. Not the makings of a good race. Leclerc has become a little detached from Norris ahead, who is now catching Alonso. 7:15PM Lap 8 of 70 - Russell leads Verstappen by 1.5sec Hard to say whether this is intentional from Verstappen. Certainly not good for your tyres if you stick within a second of the man in front for very long. 7:13PM Lap 7 of 70 - ⏱️ Top 10 and gaps RUS VER +1.4 ANT +3.2 PIA +5.0 HAM +6.8 ALO +7.7 NOR +9.4 LEC +12.7 HUL +14.4 COL +15.9 7:11PM Lap 6 of 70 - Russell extends his lead It's over a second now, which will be some relief to the Mercedes man. It means Verstappen will not get DRS down the back straight nor on the pit straight. Norris on the hard tyres not too close to Alonso, but he will come into the race as it goes on. Well, that will be the plan. 7:10PM Lap 5 of 70 - 0.5sec the gap between Verstappen and Russell Russell just not able to break the DRS distance to Verstappen behind. Piastri has been told to go to Plan B, whatever that is. The leaders are now 2.1sec or so ahead of Antonelli, who is in turn 1.7sec ahead of Piastri in fourth.
