McLarens, Bugattis and a minivan: The supercars owned by the world's most famous celebrities
Travis Scott's Bugatti Chiron Super Sport
Chart-topping rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer Travis Scott has not only dominated music charts but also built an eclectic car collection that mirrors his creative spirit. His garage houses several Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Mercedes-Maybachs, as well as more accessible models like a Toyota MR-2, Range Rover and a Ford F-150 Raptor.
In 2023, his car collection was estimated to be worth around US$13 million. The crown jewel: Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, worth an eye-watering US$5.5 million. With 1,578 horsepower, the hypercar goes from 0 to 200 km/h in just 5.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 440 km/h. It also makes an appearance in his music video for 'Gatti.
In case you missed it: Why the Bugatti Chiron is the real deal Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes-AMG One
As a seven-time Formula One world champion, Lewis Hamilton naturally owns a car collection that reflects his unparalleled career on the track. Valued at around US$16 million, his garage includes icons from Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes—as well as a few classic American muscle cars.
Hamilton's long-standing relationship with Mercedes has resulted in a strong affinity for the brand. His lineup includes a Mercedes-AMG GT R, SLS AMG, EQS sedan, and Mercedes-Maybach S600. But the rarest of them all is the Mercedes-AMG One, a hybrid hypercar worth US$2.7 million.
With over 1,000 horsepower, the AMG One features a turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 engine paired with four electric motors based on Mercedes' Formula One powertrain. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 352 km/h.

Despite his multi-billionaire status, Mark Zuckerberg's car collection is decidedly lowkey with a few exceptions. In his garage, he keeps a few cars that won't be out of place in a normal person's driveway. His regular cars include a Honda Fit, Ford Bronco, Volkswagen Golf GTI and an Acura TSX. His most expensive car is a $1.4 million Pagani Huayra which he got in 2014. He also has a Porsche 911 GT3 and uses a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing as a daily driver. These cars are all great but he has another unique and noteworthy vehicle in his collection. What he got for his wife Priscilla Chan is not available in any Porsche dealership.
Despite being one of the richest people in the world, Mark Zuckerberg keeps his car collection surprisingly understated. Among the regular rides he has been spotted in are a Honda Fit, a Ford Bronco, a Volkswagen Golf GTI and an Acura TSX. His most expensive car is possibly a US$1.4 million Pagani Huayra, acquired in 2014, and he's also been spotted driving a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.
But the most intriguing vehicle is the unique Porsche that he got for his wife, Priscilla Chan, which is not available in Porsche dealership. The custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan built by West Coast Customs was originally a high-performance SUV with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 650 horsepower, modified with minivan proportions: an extended roofline, electric sliding doors and three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. It's a family car—but make it Silicon Valley.

Every second counts: Richard Mille and Ferrari's latest masterpiece fuses precision with power
The heart of the RM 43-01—its movement—represents horological engineering at its zenith. The manual-winding calibre RM43‑01 integrates a split-seconds chronograph with a tourbillon, one of the most challenging combinations in contemporary watchmaking. Engineered from the ground up over three years in collaboration with Richard Mille's long-time partner Audemars Piguet Le Locle (APLL), the movement achieves a level of precision that matters not just theoretically but in the practical measurement of critical intervals—exactly as required in F1 timing. Exceptionally lightweight yet strong, its intricate architecture rests on a highly skeletonised grade 5 titanium baseplate with bridges produced from both titanium and carbon TPT. This engineering marvel delivers 70 hours of power reserve, indicated at 2 o'clock on a 5N PVD titanium dial. The quality of this energy is visible through a second dial via the torque indicator, with a function selector indicator completing this technical dashboard. The chronograph mechanism employs a column wheel system with vertical coupling, ensuring instant start with zero hesitation when activated—a direct parallel to the launch control systems in Ferrari's racing vehicles. The split-seconds function allows for intermediate timing with precision, crucial in a sport where fractional measurements determine victory or defeat. The off-centre tourbillon escapement with a titanium carriage brings kinetic energy to the watch, enhanced by an innovative active seconds display using five radial blades read against a 12-second index. The tourbillon cage itself weighs mere fractions of a gram despite containing multiple components—an exercise in micro‑engineering that mirrors Ferrari's weight reduction strategies. The material innovation is equally impressive. The baseplate and bridges undergo more than 50 hours of critical machining and finishing operations, achieving tolerances measured in microns—the same exacting standards applied to F1 engine components. Through intensive research and development and computer simulations, APLL developed a new generation of components optimised for power consumption, while delivering more consistent torque levels throughout the power reserve. 'Our work as movement manufacturers is becoming increasingly scientific, which is helping us create components that are even more durable while delivering even better performance,' explains Salvador Arbona, technical director for movements at Richard Mille. The finishing of these components further establishes the Ferrari connection: the metallic finish of the baseplate echoes the industrial precision of sandcast engine components, while microblasted bridges recall the toughened matt surface of Ferrari engine covers. Angular structures with raised ridges, contrasting tonalities, and tiny X-shaped supports, interspersed with golden hexagonal socket-head screws, directly reference patterns and details found on Ferrari engine blocks and crankcases. On the front, the clutch wheel of a V8 engine informs the design of the barrel jewel setting, while dynamic, angular exterior details from models such as the Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo, Daytona SP3, and SF90 Stradale influence elements of the case styling, pushers, and indexes. The skeletonised 30-minute totaliser dominates the dial like a tachometer on a Ferrari dashboard—a dramatic, three‑dimensional lynchpin of the chassis layout.

Valuable lessons on security from 7 home invasion movies
2. 'Us' (2019) In Us , Jordan Peele reframes the home invasion not as a random attack, but as a confrontation with buried truths. The intruders are literal copies of the protagonists—people who have been living underground while others enjoyed the surface. By staging the attack in a coastal holiday home, Peele critiques the illusion of retreat and privilege. The Wilsons, like many middle-class families, believe they've earned safety through consumption and distance. Us suggests this comfort comes at a cost—and that what has been repressed, socially or psychologically, will eventually demand its reckoning. 3. 'The Strangers' (2008) Bryan Bertino's The Strangers remains one of the bleakest entries in the home invasion canon because it offers no clear motive, no redemption arc and no heroic escape. A young couple is terrorised in their rural family home simply because, as one of the masked assailants says, 'you were home'. This randomness is what makes the film so disturbing—it strips away any sense of moral cause and effect. It's a rare film that underscores the idea that no matter how careful or secluded you are, violence sometimes arrives without reason, warning or narrative closure. 4. 'Don't Breathe' (2016) Don't Breathe flips the typical home invasion structure by making the intruders the ones who are hunted. A trio of petty thieves break into the house of a blind veteran, believing him defenceless, only to discover he is anything but. The film is a lesson in misjudgment—about underestimating physical disability, overestimating your own control and misreading silence as weakness. It also challenges audience sympathy. As secrets unfold, the line between perpetrator and victim becomes increasingly murky, reminding us that proximity to violence often reveals more about character than circumstance. 5. 'When a Stranger Calls' (1979) This film famously opens with a long sequence involving a babysitter receiving anonymous phone calls that escalate into stalking and, eventually, a violent reveal: the caller is already inside the house. While it evolves into a different kind of psychological thriller, the first act remains a defining moment in the genre. It highlights how easily early warning signs—unsettling behaviour, unexplained sounds, intuition—are dismissed. The lesson here isn't about building better locks; it's about taking unease seriously before it hardens into a threat. The call might be coming from inside the house, but the denial started long before that. 6. 'The Last House on the Left' (1972) Wes Craven's controversial debut confronts the viewer with a deeply uncomfortable truth: revenge is not catharsis. After a pair of teenagers are brutalised by strangers, the attackers unknowingly take refuge in the home of one of the victims' parents. What follows is retaliation, not justice. The violence escalates, but the emotional damage is never resolved—it multiplies. Craven's message is that home invasion doesn't just displace safety; it disrupts ethics. The instinct to protect one's home can curdle into something equally destructive, especially when filtered through grief and rage. 7. 'Fear' (1996) Fear isn't a typical home invasion film—it begins as a romance. Mark Wahlberg's character is introduced as the boyfriend, not the villain, and is initially welcomed into the family. But as possessiveness morphs into obsession, he begins asserting control not just over his girlfriend but over the household itself. The film's climax, involving a siege on the suburban family home, is the logical end to a series of ignored red flags. It's a reminder that danger doesn't always knock; it can sometimes charm its way in. In a culture that equates attention with affection, Fear quietly asks: how do you protect a home from someone you invited in? Across all seven films, home invasion is more than a plot device, but also a reflection of anxieties about wealth, privacy, power and the limits between public threat and private life. Whether through force or psychological manipulation, the home's safety is constantly questioned. The genre lasts because it challenges assumptions that locks protect, love is safe and threats are obvious. In reality, home invasion takes many forms, and the most dangerous often begin with a false sense of security.

8 famous stars who built and sold high-value celebrity brands
2. George Clooney and Casamigos Tequila George Clooney co-founded Casamigos Tequila in 2013 with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, initially intended for personal use among friends. The brand emphasised smoothness and quality, gaining popularity through word-of-mouth and Clooney's celebrity influence. By 2017, Diageo acquired Casamigos for US$1 billion, paying US$700 million upfront and up to US$300 million in performance-based incentives. The acquisition marked one of the largest deals in the spirits industry. The sale only did great things for Casamigos, which continues to thrive under Diageo, maintaining its premium positioning in the tequila market. See more: How celebrities are raising the bar in the spirits industry 3. Jessica Alba and The Honest Company This was honestly one of the earliest celebrity brands to make a killing. Jessica Alba co-founded The Honest Company in 2011, aiming to provide eco-friendly and non-toxic household and baby products. Alba's vision was driven by a desire for safer products for families, and the brand quickly gained traction among health-conscious consumers. The Honest Company went public in May 2021, achieving a valuation of US$1.4 billion. Alba's stake in the company was valued at approximately US$120 million at the time of the IPO. In 2024, Alba stepped down as chief creative officer but remains a member of the company's board of directors. The Honest Company continues to expand its product offerings and retail presence, focusing on transparency and sustainability. 4. Dr Dre and Beats by Dre In 2006, hip-hop mogul Dr Dre teamed up with music executive Jimmy Iovine to create Beats by Dre, an audio brand that would redefine celebrity brands, celebrity-endorsed tech and consumer sound culture. The motivation: while Apple had its white earbuds, Iovine wanted Beats to feel like speakers for your ears. The duo set out to build stylish, bass-boosted headphones that reflected Dre's music pedigree and brought studio-level sound to the average listener. Beats became a full-blown cultural phenomenon. With sleek, oversized designs and aggressive celebrity marketing, Beats became synonymous with cool. From NBA stars to pop idols, everyone wore them. Strategic product placement (see the 2012 Olympics ads) and partnerships with artists like Lady Gaga and LeBron James cemented Beats as the must-have accessory. In 2014, Apple acquired Beats for a jaw-dropping US$3 billion, making it Apple's largest acquisition to date. Dr Dre famously (and prematurely) celebrated the deal on social media, calling himself 'the first billionaire in hip-hop'. While the final valuation post-deductions was reportedly slightly under the US$1 billion net worth mark for Dre, the acquisition was still historic, both in its scale and in what it said about the convergence of music, tech and personal branding. Beats has since been integrated into Apple's hardware ecosystem, influencing the design and sound profile of Apple's AirPods and other audio products. While the Beats brand still exists under Apple, it's shifted toward a sleeker, more minimalist design ethos. 5. Kylie Jenner and Kylie Cosmetics The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenners turned her makeup and fashion tips into celebrity brands, starting with Kylie Cosmetics. Kylie Jenner launched her beauty makeup line in 2015 with the release of the Kylie Lip Kit, leveraging her massive social media following to drive sales. The brand quickly expanded its product catalogue and became a significant player in the beauty industry. In 2019, Coty Inc acquired a 51 per cent stake in Kylie Cosmetics for US$600 million, valuing the company at approximately US$1.2 billion. Jenner retained a 49 per cent stake and continued to be involved in product development and marketing. Kylie Cosmetics has expanded its global presence, with products available in various international markets and continued product innovation. 6. Ryan Reynolds and Aviation American Gin Aviation American Gin was founded in 2006 in Portland, Oregon, by distillers Christian Krogstad and Ryan Magarian. In 2018, actor Ryan Reynolds officially acquired a significant ownership stake in the brand, becoming its creative director. Reynolds aimed to bring a fresh perspective to the gin industry, focusing on quality and unique branding. Reynolds then utilised his celebrity status and marketing acumen to elevate Aviation Gin's profile. He produced a series of humorous and viral advertisements that resonated with a broad audience, effectively distinguishing the brand in a competitive market. Under his influence, Aviation Gin's sales increased significantly, with a reported 100 per cent growth in 2019. One year later, in August 2020, Diageo acquired Aviation American Gin as part of a deal valued up to US$610 million. The agreement included an initial payment of US$335 million, with an additional US$275 million contingent on the brand's performance over the next decade. Reynolds retained an ongoing ownership interest and continues to be involved in the brand's marketing efforts. Despite the shift in ownership, Reynolds remains the public face of the brand, contributing to its ongoing popularity and market presence. 7. Ryan Reynolds and Mint Mobile Ryan Reynolds sure knows how to flip celebrity brands into millions. In 2019, the Deadpool actor acquired an ownership stake in Mint Mobile, a budget-friendly wireless carrier. Similar to what he did with Aviation Gin, Reynolds infused the brand with his signature wit, creating viral advertisements. His authentic and engaging marketing approach helped Mint Mobile stand out in a crowded telecom market. In March 2023, T-Mobile announced its acquisition of Mint Mobile's parent company, Ka'ena Corporation, in a deal valued at up to US$1.35 billion. Reynolds, holding an estimated 25 per cent stake, reportedly earned around US$300 million from the sale. With his marketing agency Maximum Effort, he continues to play a creative role in the company's marketing efforts post-acquisition. 8. Kim Kardashian and KKW Beauty Kim Kardashian launched KKW Beauty in 2017, capitalising on her personal brand and social media influence. The brand offered a range of cosmetics, including contour kits that mirrored Kardashian's signature look. In 2020, Coty Inc acquired a 20 per cent stake in KKW Beauty for US$200 million, valuing the company at US$1 billion. However, Kardashian rebranded her beauty brand to skincare with SKKN by Kim by 2022. In March 2025, Kardashian's SKIMS company acquired 100 per cent of SKKN, edging Coty out.
