10 Musicians That Have Huge Car Collections
We all know that musicians like living their life to the fullest. Thanks to their talent, popularity, and sometimes, side businesses, some artists are able to buy luxurious mansions and build huge car collections.
Given their wealth, most musicians don’t limit themselves to just one vehicle. That’s how they get to these amazing car collections that others only dream of.
Whether you’re curious or you just need some inspiration to help you work towards your dream, we prepared a list of 10 musicians who managed to build huge car collections. Let’s get into it!

Did you ever imagine Beyonce being a car enthusiast? Beyonce is one of the most popular names in the music industry, but people mostly know her on-stage persona and are not aware of her love for cars. Well, Beyonce actually has a big car collection.
The singer managed to add some diversity among the vehicles she owns. Besides, she doesn’t only have fancy cars, but also some family-friendly ones. In her collection, she has the Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, but she also has some vans, minivans, SUVs, and others. Considering Beyonce has children, it makes sense she invested in some family-friendly vehicles as well.

Metallica’s lead singer did not shy away from building a car collection. As an integral part of one of the biggest metal bands in the world, the musician enjoyed his life to the fullest. If you’re wondering what he does when he’s not touring or recording new albums, well, you should know that James Hetfield is probably driving one of his cars.

Final Thoughts
If you love any of these musicians, you may become inspired to buy your own car, perhaps even one of the models they own. You just have to make sure you don’t end up buying a lemon.
Lemon cars will give you a lot of trouble and you’ll have to spend time bringing them in for reparations that will be unsuccessful. Luckily, if you live in California like some of the celebrities on this list, you can hire a California lemon attorney, who will advise you and help you get compensation for the defective car you’ve bought.
