Most people only need one car, and if they're lucky, they may have another car or two.
But celebrities, as you'll see, are not most people. They often have fleets and drop serious money on a classic model or supercar.
These are some of the most impressive celebrity car collectors.

Total value: $15 million
Bottom line: According to comedian and actor Rowan Atkinson, he's not a collector in the true sense of the word: "I don’t like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate. It depresses me that they are hidden away like investment art or gold ingots in a Swiss vault."

Total value: $350 million
Bottom line: While there are some pretty impressive collections on this list (and some that are even bigger), designer Ralph Lauren's collection is one of the best in the world.
He began collection cars in the 1970s, starting with a 1971 Mercedes 280SE. He has since added over 70 more vehicles to his collection. These include a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, a Bugatti type 57SC Atlantic (only four were ever made), a Lamborghini Reventon Roadster, a 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK (one of three commissioned by Italian racer and automaker, Count Trossi), two McLaren F1s, and two Porsche 918 Spyders. One is a 1955 model. Only 90 were built between 1953 and1956.

1. The Sultan of Brunei
/granite-web-prod/a8/0a/a80a0b31ab4a4ed7a92c2a4ffcbf7a00.jpeg)
Total value: $5 billion+
Bottom line: The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkia, is said to own approximately 7,000 cars, including 600 Rolls, 380 Bentleys, and 550 Ferraris, a BMW Nazca M12 concept car, a Lamborghini Urraco, two Ferrari Mythos concept cars, and too many supercars to count. If he liked a model, he and his family would buy hundreds of the same car.
However, in recent years, he's gone through some financial difficulties, despite having a $28 billion net worth. He is said to have completely abandoned the collection. There are no more employees to maintain the fleet and the air conditioning where they are kept has been turned off.
The cars have been left behind for the past 18 years, and at the very least, they would need their hoses, seals, and weather stripping replaced. But the damage is reported to be far worse.
