For your own comfort and not least to maintain your VIP status, Russian stars do not hesitate to give preference to unique and expensive cars... True, you won't surprise anyone with Mercedes and other premium car products, so celebrities often indulge themselves with something even more extravagant.
We decided to choose seven of the most exclusive and outstanding cars, which are driven by representatives of the glamorous crowd in our country. Let's start with one of the most extraordinary "starships" that have received a Russian residence permit.
Verka Serduchka: Rolls-Royce by Freddie Mercury
The Ukrainian showman Andrey Danilko, better known as Verka Serduchka, who moved to the First Throne, had at his disposal not just a rare car, but also with an eminent history. Last year, the artist acquired the legendary Rolls-Royce, which once belonged to the lead singer of the famous group Queen Freddie Mercury. The limousine, which the singer drove until his death, which overtook him in 1991, was put up for auction in British Birmingham.
The starting price of the lot was equal to 9,000 British pounds. And a car that ran nearly 100,000 kilometers left for 74,000, which in our money is about 3.6 million rubles. By the way, for this amount, in addition to everything, Verka Serduchka also got some of Freddie's personal belongings, which, according to his sister, who initiated the sale of the car, were all this time untouched in the glove compartment of the car.
Leonid Yarmolnik: "Victory" on the 50th anniversary
As a gift for the anniversary to actor and TV presenter Leonid Yarmolnik, his wife presented an old "Victory", released back in 1954. The car looked more like scrap metal, but in two years the artist was able to completely restore it, giving the car an almost pristine appearance. Later he bought another "Victory" in order to use it as a donor and, if necessary, immediately change parts. Often Leonid can be seen driving his favorite "swallow" on the roads common use... In addition, he does not often exhibit his "brainchild" on display at various automotive events.
Gosha Kutsenko: Morgan Aero 8 is assembled in parts
No, it's not about hand-assembled a unique roadster ordered by Antikiller worth over 100,000 American banknotes. Gosha already has such a sports car, however, now it is not at all in proper form. The fact is that at the beginning of the month, in the very center of the capital, the actor, maneuvering between the rows, got into an accident, as a result of which Kutsenko's car was seriously damaged. In a word, the pieces of iron scattered around the Garden Ring had to be collected by the traffic police officers who arrived at the scene of the accident in parts. However, if the speed of the 340-horsepower car were a little less, the incident would not have happened. The driver of the "star" car himself, as well as the driver of the SUV, with whom he did not share roadway, did not suffer.
Roman Pavlyuchenko: to Europe on Lamborghini Gallardo
Football players, even despite the lack of merits in the professional field, do not hesitate to enjoy life, driving around in expensive hypercars. A prime example to that - bought by the striker of Lokomotiv Lamborghini Gallardo, which is one of the fastest and most beautiful cars in the world. The novel, being at the wheel of an all-wheel drive sports car with an engine installed under the hood with a capacity of 560 "horses", apparently makes up for the lost dynamics in the game. True, he drives it not in Russia, but on the autobahns of Europe. Which, however, is not surprising, because we will not be able to feel the full drive from driving an Italian car due to the banal lack of roads. And he will hardly want to repeat the deplorable experience of Gosha Kutsenko.
Alexander Ovechkin: special version of the Mercedes SL65 AMG
1 / 3

3 / 3
I must say, hockey players are not lagging behind the players. The former Dynamo Moscow player and now the Washington Capitals striker proudly trumps his Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series, issued in a limited edition worth over $ 250,000. Of course, because in engine compartment the sports coupe housed a 670-horsepower V12 with double blower, allowing the car to accelerate to the first "hundred" from a standstill in just 3.8 seconds. Among other things, the master of the washer also has a "loaded" Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the V12 S letter from Brabus and the BMW M6, which is the most expensive model in the product line of the Bavarian automaker. By the way, the cost of the "six" in the domestic market starts from the mark of 7,655,000 rubles.
Timati: personalized Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

4 / 4
Rap artist and part-time owner of the Black Star record label Timati made a gift for himself by ordering a unique Porsche cayenne Turbo S, which was prepared for the "star" on an individual request and released in a single copy. Off-road vehicle painted in matte Orange color, received a spectacular aerodynamic body kit using carbon elements. A powerful acoustic system was installed in the cabin and multi-level illumination was adapted to respond to the music sounding from the speakers.
In addition, Black Star nameplates shine everywhere on the car, and inside there is an engraved plaque indicating that the car belongs to an exclusive edition. By the way, the rapper also has supercars Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4, Ferrari 458 Italia and two Audi R8s in different colors.
Nikolay Baskov: Bentley Arnage Limousine for walks and guests
The "luxury" British brand in our country is honored by a whole army of VIPs. For example, Bentley is the favorite vehicle for Maxim Galkin, Ksenia Sobchak, Fyodor Bondarchuk and Philip Kirkorov. The owner of the best voice in Russia decided to "surpass" everyone at the same time, having bought the inimitable Bentley ArnageLimousine for his personal use.
Despite the fact that the car itself costs at least 200,000 euros, Nikolai Baskov did not hesitate to invest about a million more in it. As a result, he became the owner of one of the most expensive Bentleys in history. Inside the limousine - snow white leather interior, ivory inserts, a gilded steering wheel and rhinestones glowing on the ceiling, imitating the starry sky. The picture is crowned with a home theater, a huge bar with a cooling system and sofas with vibration massage.
They appear regularly on the screen and shine on the red carpets of film festivals. But if they want to get even more attention, they buy a car worth several hundred thousand US dollars.
We have prepared a list of the ten most expensive cars mobiles owned by Hollywood stars. We are sure that here you will find a dream car and at least one favorite actor.
Nicolas Cage, Ferrari Enzo
Actor Nicolas Cage, known for his roles in the films City of Angels, Faceless with John Travolta, and many others, has a fondness for expensive cars. In his garage flaunts Ferrari enzo red, the cost of which at the time of purchase was estimated at $ 670,000. This incredibly high-speed supercar was produced from 2002 to 2004, a total of 400 cars went on sale. Enzo is one of the ten most expensive in the world and can accelerate to 355 km / h (and this is the fifth place in the ranking of the most fast cars).Arnold Schwarzenegger, Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
The permanent "Terminator", despite its stern appearance, prefers enough compact cars... At least the Hollywood star has been spotted driving a Porsche-911 Turbo Cabriolet more than once. The cost of this new car starts at $ 230,000. At one time, its aggressive appearance became a sensation in Paris Motor Show where it was introduced back in 1974. 
The car combines incredible tractive effort and record low fuel consumption. However, it is unlikely that Arnold Schwarzenegger bought it for the sake of economy - the actor, even in his seventy years, does not lack the attention of directors and producers.
Ashton Kutcher, Ferrari California
Ashton Kutcher had to pay at least $ 250,000 for his Ferrari California (the site hopes that he at least drives Mila Kunis and their children on it). In terms of car preferences, his tastes overlap in some way with Nicolas Cage. Ashton also has a Ferrari and is also red. It is the world's first two-seater roadster with a retractable hardtop. By the way, Ferrari California is not the only expensive car in the garage of a Hollywood celebrity. At the very least, he also has a Lexus LS Hybrid. 
Sylvester Stallone, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Once again, we see Ferrari on our list, but this time in classic black. The car perfectly complements the image of the brutal Sylvester Stallone, who became famous thanks to the cycle of films about "Rimbaud" and "Rocky". Especially well this black car is in harmony with the traditional black glasses of the actor. The cost of the car in basic configuration starts at $ 250,000. It belongs to the Gran Tourismo class - perhaps Stallone decided to drive it around the world? 
Brad Pitt, BMW 7-series Hydrogen
The ex-husband of Angelina Jolie, the performer of the cameo role of Phantom in the action movie "Deadpool 2", which he agreed to play just for a cup of coffee, actor Brad Pitt was repeatedly recognized as the most handsome man world, therefore it is not surprising that in his garage there are no less famous and charismatic cars. One of them - the BMW 7-series Hydrogen with a 6-liter engine - was released in the amount of 100 copies in 2006. 
The peculiarity of this car is that it can work both on regular gasoline and hydrogen. By the way, all produced cars of this series were transferred to the use of celebrities. Accordingly, Brad Pitt, like everyone else, got it absolutely free, although in fact its cost is a couple of hundred thousand dollars.
Rowan Atkinson, McLaren F1
We know him as the unflappable Mr. Bean, and fans of the TV show Top Gear(the classic of course, with Jeremy Clarkson) as an avid collector of sports cars. The actor owns Aston martin DB7 Vantage, Jaguar Mark VII (1952), Mercedes-Benz W100 and a few other cars that impress with their history and value. One of the most expensive and significant in the comedian's collection is the McLaren F1. 
Little did Rowan Atkinson buy the car for £ 650,000 — he had two serious accidents with it. The editors of vnazyvsё.ru notes: the sums spent on both repairs have raised the price of this supercar by almost 2.5 times. However, Atkinson still prefers to ride Morris Traveler - it is in it that he is regularly seen on the territory of a villa in Oxfordshire.
Paris Hilton, Bentley Continental GT
Paris Hilton is not only the great-granddaughter of the richest hotel owner and a reality TV star, but also an actress. And also beautiful girl who loves expensive cars... There are more than one car in her fleet, but the most expensive, perhaps, will be Bentley continental Pink GT, which is estimated at $ 285,000. The star gave it to herself for Christmas in 2000, and on her thirtieth birthday received a gift from her boyfriend Lexus car LFA ($ 375,000). Also, Paris Hilton owns an equally bright and far from budget Ferrari California. 
Elle Macpherson, Aston Martin DB5
The model and actress, known for her roles in the films "On the Edge" with Anthony Hopkins and "The Mirror Has Two Faces" with Barbra Streisand, has a fondness for everything related to James Bond. Largely thanks to this hobby, she acquired car aston Martin DB5. The purchase cost Elle Macpherson nearly $ 4,000,000. It is a 1964 car with a 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine and can accelerate to maximum in just 8.1 seconds - an impressive figure for a car that is more than half a century old.

Timati stands next to his exclusive Porsche Cayenne
Star cars are not only a means of transportation, but also an item that maintains their VIP status. If foreign celebrities choose unremarkable cars, then domestic ones try to acquire unique and expensive models. Let's take a look at the cars of celebrities and find out about their preferences.
Cars of Russian celebrities
Masha Rasputin and expensive Mercedes-Benz
It seems that this was the expression on Masha's face when her husband gave her a new car. It seems that a new tradition has appeared in the family of the extravagant Russian performer Masha Rasputina - every three years her husband, businessman Viktor Zakharov, buys a new car for his beloved. So, On May 14, 2013, on her 47th birthday, the singer received Mercedes-Benz S-Class
, the price of which fluctuates in the region of 11-13 million rubles. 
Mercedes Benz S for 11 million rubles
She received it, however, with a delay, since the car was being tuned for some time. The interior of the car was trimmed with stylish beige leather, and all panels - with expensive wood. Instead of three rear seats, experts made two wide ones and installed a special partition so that the driver could not hear what the celebrity was talking about on the phone. By the way, chrome rims on the wheels of Rasputina's car are made by an exclusive order- they are unique and the second such simply does not exist!
Verka Serduchka and her legendary Rolls-Royce
Verka Serduchka seems to love rare cars Ukrainian showman Andrey Danilko, better known under the pseudonym Verka Serdyuchka, owns not only a rare, but also a real historical car. Last year, the artist bought the iconic Rolls-Royce, which used to belong to the lead singer of the popular Queen group Freddie Mercury. The limousine, in which the performer traveled until his death, was put up for auction in Birmingham, England. 
The starting price of the lot was £ 9,000. As a result, the car, whose mileage was about 100 thousand kilometers, was sold for 74 thousand... Translated into our money, this is about 4 million rubles. By the way, for such a significant amount, Verka Serducha received several personal items of Freddie as a gift, which, according to the singer's sister, were always in the glove compartment of the car.
Gosha Kutsenko: broken Morgan Aero 8
After the accident, Kutsenko immediately took a selfie. That's right, what else to do? Gosha Kutsenko is the owner of Morgan Aero 8, which costs 100 thousand dollars. True, in July 2014, the actor got into a terrible accident, as a result of which his car was seriously damaged. The pieces of iron scattered all over the Garden Ring had to be collected literally piece by piece. According to traffic police officers, if the speed of a car with a capacity of 340 Horse power was slightly smaller, the incident could have been avoided. The driver himself was not injured.
Gosha Kutsenko got into an accident (video)
Roman Pavlyuchenko: European Lamborghini Gallardo
Russian Roman Pavlyuchenko prefers to travel on European roads. Something is wrong here… Football player Roman Pavlyuchenko, despite the lack of outstanding achievements on the field, does not hesitate to please himself by driving around in expensive cars. A striking example of this - Lamborghini Gallardo, which is one of the fastest cars in the world.
Lamborghini Gallardo is one of the most expensive cars in the world
Perhaps, while driving an all-wheel drive sports car with a capacity of 560 "horses", Roman is trying to make up for the lost momentum in the game for Lokomotiv. True, Pavlyuchenko does not drive his car Russian roads, but in Europe. This, however, is not surprising, since you will hardly be able to feel all the charm of the Lamborghini drive on our roads. And the footballer certainly won't want to repeat the sad incident of Gosha Kutsenko.
Timati: exclusive Porsche Cayenne Turbo S
Timati decided to pamper himself with an exclusive Porsche The famous domestic rapper who owns the Black Star record label, Timati, decided to make a gift for himself. He ordered a unique Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, which was specially made for a celebrity on an individual design and was released in a single copy.

Besides in the rapper's garage are a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4, a Ferrari 458 Italia, as well as two Audi R8s of different colors.
Nikolay Baskov: Bentley Arnage Limousine with all the amenities
Nicholas, apparently, has no money left for decent clothes The “luxury” British brand was liked by many VIPs in Russia. Bentley, for example, is the favorite car of Maxim Galkin, Philip Kirkorov, Ksenia Sobchak and Fyodor Bondarchuk. The owner of the unique voice of Russia decided to move to a higher level and buy himself an elegant Bentley Arnage Limousine.
Despite the fact that the car itself costs about 200 thousand euros, Basque was not too lazy to invest more than a million in it. As a result, he became the owner of one of the most expensive Bentleys in history. Inside the limousine, there is a snow-white leather interior, ivory inserts, a steering wheel made of gold of the highest standard, as well as luminous rhinestones on the ceiling that imitate the starry sky.

Cars of foreign stars
Cameron Diaz: improving the planet with Toyota Prius
Cameron Diaz thinks about environment, so I chose Toyota Prius Cameron Diaz decided to take care of nature and made a choice in favor of sustainability. It seems that the actress is seriously thinking about the future of the planet, so she decided to change from a Porsche to hybrid Toyota Prius. As the star herself admits, she often breaks the rules, drives aggressively and often exceeds the speed.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and his old friend Hummer
Arnold drives his Hummer right through the city Arold Schwarzenegger confirms his status as Iron Arnie with a brutal Hummer of impressive size. The love for this brand of the actor is understandable, because even during his military service he was a driver-mechanic of a tank. ... In 1992, he bought a civilian Hummer for $ 45,000 and has not changed the car since.
Paris Hilton: Glamorous Bentley for Barbie
Paris Hilton made a real "doll" out of her car Paris Hilton has never ripped off the fact that she loves luxury and glamor. Most of all she is proud of her Bentley, which she transformed into a Barbie car. However, Paris herself does not look like a doll in any way - several times police officers detained her for drunk driving... Once she was even sent to correctional labor.
David Beckham: Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is the best choice for the family
David Beckham rolls children around the city David Beckham is famous for his passion not only for football, but also for cars. In his garage there are several of the most expensive and powerful machines... Sometimes he gets bored of his own garage and sells several cars, replacing his collection with other copies. David Beckham's favorite car is Rolls royce Phantom Drophead Coupe £ 300k... A celebrity is unlikely to sell it to anyone, because only such a car can fit his entire family - his beautiful wife Victoria and four children.
Halle Berry and the stylish Lexus rx 450
Halle Berry never cheated on Lexus Sultry brunette Halle Berry has been driving her Lexus rx 450 for quite some time... The actress has not changed the product of one of the most "all-terrain" car manufacturers in the world for many years, although she periodically changes models. But Holly does this not at all because she is bad about old cars. She just perfectly understands that obstacles on the roads evolve every year, therefore, if she ever has to leave the police, then it will be much easier to do this on a modified car than on last year's analogue.
Madonna and MINI Cooper for an independent woman
MINI Cooper perfect for a woman like Madonna Pop queen Madonna prefers to gloss her cars to give them a bulky look. Its agile MINI Cooper is relatively inexpensive, yet extremely reliable. MINI Cooper has been called more than once excellent option for women who do not climb into the male system, but at the same time are able to surpass the main alpha males of Hollywood. It seems that Madonna is just such a young lady.
Thus, one can notice the following: if foreign stars prefer exclusively the comfort and characteristics of the car, then domestic celebrities prefer to choose cars that would once again emphasize their superiority over others. Perhaps, with age, this mania will pass and Russian celebrities will understand that a car is, first of all, a means of transportation, and not a luxury item.
Ksenia Sobchak and her Audi.
Although the fees of Russian celebrities differ significantly from the fees of their Western counterparts, not only the latter, but also the former want to keep the brand. And what else if not luxury cars, can confirm the status of an influential and successful person?
Among the post-Soviet celebrities there are many connoisseurs of luxury vehicles. For instance, Leonid Yarmolnik Is a passionate car enthusiast. In his fleet, which began with the classic "penny" VAZ-2101, many other cars have visited over the past couple of decades: in 2004, the artist had a 220th five-liter elongated limousine for winter, Mercedes convertible A 129/500 SL Rodster for summer and a brand new Mercedes Vision SLR for the soul. Since then, the number of "Mercedes" used by the artist has only increased. In general, for 15 years now, he has had a special passion for this particular brand and is trying to regularly replenish his auto collection with new models of the German giant. Like Yarmolnik and old models domestic auto industry: Moskvich-2141 and Niva also visited his garage. But Yarmolnik's favorite car was given to him as a gift from his wife. The restored "Victory" with the actor's initials and year of birth as a number was a gift for his 50th birthday.
Dima Bilan cars were often given as gifts. First, he was taken to the Mercedes of producer Yuri Aizenshpis, then the investor Viktor Baturin bought a yellow Hammer for Dima, which he later took away. The next producer Yana Rudkovskaya transplanted Dima back to a Mercedes, only of a higher rank. Simultaneously Volvo made a generous gift to Bilan - Volvo car S40 beige colour... And a few months ago, Bilan bought himself a vehicle: stuffed with electronics and amazing in its power BMW SUV X6M. But the singer was not happy for long - last weekend the car was badly damaged. Bilan got into an accident - a sixth model Zhiguli crashed into his car at a decent speed.
Shortly before the first solo concert Alsou in Zelenograd in 1999, her father Ralif Safin bought executive Mercedes Benz S600. For a long time, this car was assigned to the singer as a starcar. Meanwhile, Alsou did not seek to get behind the wheel. “Of course, I can get under way, I know where the gas is, where the brake is, but getting out into the city is an impossible task for me,” the singer said at almost every press conference. - When there are a lot of cars around, I start to panic. So while I drive with a driver, I still dream of my car. It must be a convertible. " Alsou's dream did not come true - there are only cars in her fleet executive class- Mercedes Benz, Lexus and Maybach. The latter is the most beloved, since it is a gift from her husband Yan Abramov.
Alla Borisovna Pugacheva she loved to talk about how her fans showered her with expensive cars. True, the singer bought her first car herself - the third model "Zhiguli" cost her 5 thousand rubles. In the 80s, Pugacheva became the proud owner of the 123rd model Mercedes. Until recently, the singer's car park featured a Bentley donated by Kirkorov, a snow-white Hummer with a pink interior, and an Audi convertible. Now the Prima Donna is driving around Moscow on a Mercedes Pullmann gift from the Moscow government or a Rolls Royce gift from Maxim Galkin.
One month after coming of age, on December 6, 1999, Ksenia Sobchak became the owner of her first car - Lexus. In 2002, on her 21st birthday, she received a Mercedes Benz GL500 as a gift. Later, her car fleet was replenished with a BMW X5, which a year later the girl sold to her friend, the lead singer of the Dynamite group, Ilya Zudin. Yielding to the fashion trend, Ksenia, like many women from Rublev, bought a cornflower blue Bentley Continental GT Speed. And thanks to official dealer Audi Ksenia Anatolyevna regularly renews its vehicle fleet with new executive class cars. The most interesting thing is that Ksenia Sobchak also has a white VAZ 2107.
Valery Leontiev over 20 years of driving experience, he changed more than one car. The first foreign car was the BMW-528. In 1994, the singer was already able to afford the semi-sports Lincoln Mark VIII, which he brought from America. Valery Yakovlevich also had jeeps.
