Top 10 Most Expensive Bugattis Owned by Rappers




1.Tpain
Faheem Rashad Najm, better known by his stage name T-Pain, is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, and actor. His debut album, Rappa Ternt Sanga, was released in 2005.

T-Pain has explained why he sold his $1.2 million Bugatti Veyron. The reason was down to the fact that one of the four radiators got a hole in it. Bugatti said they could fix the problem but it would cost the rapper a whopping $90,000.

So instead of fixing the car he decided to sell it for $1 Million and reinvest his money into three new cars; a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and a McLaren ‘That looks like a god damn dragon’.

See the 9 others on our list after the cut....


2.Chris Brown
Chris Brown likes his cars sleek and fast. The Bugatti Veyron caught his eye and he paid $1.5 million for the red sports car. Brown’s expensive ride is capable of speeds of up to 253 miles per hour. Brown picked up the car than showed off his new wheels by taking fellow singer Omarion, shopping at a Louis Vuitton store.

Since 2005, only around 200 Veyron models have been built and delivered to their new owners. The Bugatti name comes from the French racing driver Pierre Veyron. Veyron raced for the Bugatti Company and in 1939, he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.



3. Soulja Boy
 DeAndre Cortez  is an American rapper, actor, record producer and entrepreneur. He paid $1.7 million for his Bugatti. After purchasing the sports car he posted a photo of his expensive new wheels on Instagram with the caption: “Finally got it. I deserve this.
Worked hard 5 years straight!” Soulja Boy loves his Bugatti so much he even penned a song about his coveted sports car called Bugatti. The song and the video were released in 2014. Soulja Boy has said he will not hesitate to add another Bugatti to his collection of cars.




4. Scott Spencer Storch
 Is an American record producer. He produces hip hop music through his label, Storch Music Company. He also has his own music production company called Tuff Jew Productions LLC which is published by Reservoir Media Management.
Storch was perhaps the personification of hip-hop’s most profligate moment, amassing a $70 million fortune and owning a fleet of more than a dozen luxury cars, including Ferraris, a McLaren, Maybach and, yes, a black Bugatti Veyron — at the time, the most expensive car on the market, with a reported $1.7 million price tag.



5. The Game
Pampered himself with a really expensive 33rd birthday present. He spent $1.7 million on a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 sports car. He also put down another $2.4 million for special features. The car can reach speeds of 267 miles per hour.

The Game purchased a yellow and black version of the expensive sports car. Of course when you buy one of these beauties, the whole world has to know. After sharing a picture of his Bugatti on Twitter, he said “#BugattiBdayBoy“ pull up to the scene & my ceiling……. Aint missing ! Ha ha ha”



6. Rapper Flo Rida
Purchased a Bugatti Veyron for $1.7million. Flo Rida had even more money to spare and had the entire car wrapped in gold and had new rims put on, which were 24 karat gold. At first, Flo Rida had his million dollar machine originally wrapped in chrome, but he later changed his mind because he thought it didn’t look “rich” enough so he had it wrapped in gold to create the first Gold Bugatti.

The Bugatti’s rims were also gold. It is unknown how much it cost Flo Rida to have the car wrapped. Photos of Flo Rida’s gold Bugatti went viral on Twitter. Not everyone was impressed with his hefty investment, though. One Twitter user posted: “I have very little time for Flo-rida’s Gold Veyron. Surely it’s like putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.”


7. Jay Z
In 2010, Beyonce paid $2 million for a White Bugatti Veyron Sport. The Bugatti was a gift for husband, Jay Z’s 41st birthday. Beyonce told the media that she had to wait a year after ordering the Bugatti to give it to him and she kept the Bugatti Veyron Sport a secret the whole time.

Since Beyonce expressed her love to her boo by buying him such a lavish car, Jay Z decided to return the favor on Beyonce’s 25th birthday. He decided to buy her a $1 million vintage Rolls Royce to park beside his Bugatti. Aww, isn’t that sweet.




8. Bryan Williams
 Better known to his fans as Birdman, paid $2 million for his Bugatti Veyron. Williams was so happy with his purchase that he shared many photos of himself driving the sports car all over town. Birdman loves attention and driving around in a Bugatti Veyron certainly got him that.

Birdman is a rapper, co-founder of Cash Money Records and one half of the duo Big Tymers. He also owns an oil and gas exploration company called Bronald Oil and Gas, LLC. The company is a joint venture with his brother Slim. The company’s name is a play on their names, Bryan and Ronald.




9. Aubrey Drake Graham
 Better known as the rapper Drake, paid $2.5 million for his Bugatti. The funds weren’t too hard for him to come by, as he earned $42 million just from his Club Paradise Tour alone. Drake also owns a Bentley Continental worth $280,400.
But hey, this is all pocket change to Drake, who earned $39.5 million just this year. He even out-earned the one and only Dr. Dre by $6 million (yes, the head phone guy). Drake who hails from Toronto, Canada, is doing very well for himself and undoubtedly works extremely hard to be able to afford is Bugatti.



10. Rapper Lil Wayne purchased a black and red Bugatti Veyron for $2.7 million. His purchase made him the first black rapper to own a Bugatti. It was long after his purchase that other rappers were ordering Bugattis, too. I guess many either never heard of the Bugatti, couldn’t afford it, or maybe they were just waiting to see which rapper would be the first to scoop one up. It only takes one and the rest often follow.

Lil Wayne should get some sort of commission for being the Bugatti rapper trailblazer. It had to hurt his pride and wallet when he wrecked the $2.7 million black and red Bugatti. Videos of the wrecked Bugatti flooded Youtube.
