What do billionaires drive

But her car of choice is a simple Ford F King Ranch. With her DUI arrest last year, it might be better that she stick to inexpensive cars. But his ride of choice is as humble as the furniture he sells: a Volvo Billionaire Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, is famous for his many cars.

Warren Buffett is one of the world's richest men, but his frugality is as well-known as his bank account. Laptop mogul Michael Dell drives an edgy, Porsche Boxter. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer is one of the world's richest men but went for a fairly modest car. Knight, however, went for a bolder approach and got a black model with a contrasting silver sideblade.

Would you not want a luxurious car to match the luxury goods business of yours? Being the boss of rich brands like Moet and Louis Vuitton, your drive could be no less.

Having slipped to the 4th position recently, Bill Gates was once the richest man. Not much of a show-off, with not much known about the cars he owns, but he sure does own one of the rarest cars in the world, that is Porsche , for which he waited for a long 13 years to import it to America. My dad had the same frugality drilled into him. We never had a new vehicle but the car he was most proud of was a 78 Lincoln Continental that he bought very used — and of course for cash.

Status is something that these billionaires need not prove to others. In many cases, the people on our list prefer to live inconspicuously, avoiding the limelight at all costs. Gary, I was thinking that perhaps the super rich drive more regular cars in order to maintain their privacy and security?
