High-Octane Glamor: 30 Celebrity Cars That Define Luxury and Vintage Cool

Simon Cowell—Bugatti “Veyron”, $1.7 Million

Simon Cowell, the indomitable force behind reality TV music sensations, once owned a black-on-black 2008 Bugatti “Veyron,” an extraordinary machine with a jaw-dropping price tag of $1.6 million. Despite its allure, he confessed to Ellen DeGeneres that he’d only taken this beast for a spin twice.

Though the odometer says 1,300 miles, it’s clear this speed demon didn’t get to stretch its legs often under Simon’s ownership. Flaunting an 8.0 L W16 cylinder engine that cranks out over 1,000 horsepower, this Bugatti was the fastest street-legal car in America in 2008, reaching speeds up to 253.81 miles per hour. Mint condition? Absolutely.
