This Indian singer got inspired by Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Nene, bought cars worth more than Rs 7 cr including a Lamborghini, Porsche
Every kid has always drawn a racecar, and every other kid has always wanted a Toyota Supra while growing up because of the Fast And Furious franchise. Some realise their dreams of owning their favourite cars, and Bollywood singer Stebin Ben is one of the lucky ones. Known for songs like 'Baarish Ban Jaana', 'Sahiba', and 'Thodha Thodha Pyaar', Ben has amassed over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 640k subscribers. The numbers have certainly brought in a comfortable amount of money, since the singer has a garage with cars worth more than Rs 7 crore. Stebin recently appeared on an episode of History on Wheels by Mashable India, where he talked about his love for cars and how he slowly built his way up to buying his most expensive car to date. He said, 'I think for me it started as a kid, playing with scale models of cars and video games and just dreaming of owning those machines in real life. At the start of it, I just wanted to buy a Jaguar or a BMW car, and I stayed true to the promise I had made to myself, and I bought a 5 Series and a Jaguar XF right after that.' ALSO READ: 'AR Rahman loves clothes in strange colours,' Sukhwinder Singh opens up on his 'godfriend', why the composer makes his best music at 3am Talking about his current cars, the singer said, 'Right now I have an S-Class Maybach, a Lamborghini Urus, and a Porsche Boxster. I got all of them very recently. The Urus is for when I travel with my 'boys' and we all go for a drive. For me, the Porsche is a date night car. Honestly, the first time I saw a Lamborghini was a Gallardo, and then slowly I developed my liking for the car. In Mumbai, it's very difficult to drive two-seaters, and with this car you get the 'sports car' feel and the height, and it's obviously very comfortable.' He shared details about his first car and revealed what all he plans to buy in the future for his already impressive car collection. 'My first car was a Honda City ZX, which looked like a dolphin. I built my garage from there; the BMW came, then the Jaguar, and so on and so forth. But the next car I want is either the long wheelbase Phantom or the Ghost; that is on my radar now. I also want to have a Ferrari, either the 296 or the F8. Currently I am in the phase of learning and looking for new cars, and I saw your episode with Dr Nene, and it's so great to see someone being so passionate about their cars.' While some of the models and years are not clearly mentioned, Stebin's total garage value is more than 7.25 crore. According to CarDekho, the S-Class' current on-road price is Rs 1.9 cr, the Porsche Boxster is worth Rs 1.57 crore, and the Lamborghini Urus costs Rs 3.01 crore, making it the most expensive car he has ever bought. The Rolls Royce models that Stebin wishes to buy, the extended wheelbase version of the Phantom and the Ghost, are worth Rs 10.48 crore and Rs 10.19 crore.
