In addition to their luxurious homes and lavish fashion styles, celebrities are known for designing some of the most extravagantly customized cars around to suit their personalities.
Perhaps this is because no matter what level of celebrity standing they may have, they’re still able to walk in most dealerships and make demands the averaged Joe can’t afford.
