Scrolling on Instagram, you’re bound to spot a big-name superstar leaning on their McLaren 765T (Jay Leno) or Audi R8 (Cristiano Ronaldo) from time to time. To many, stardom and luxury car ownership go hand in hand, with the size and prestige of a classic car collection often reflecting just how famous someone really is. Naturally, we expect A-lister celebrities (like these) to splurge on a nice car or two. After all, what else are they going to do with the hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal?
Local Miami hero David Beckham, arguably the greatest soccer player of all time, is widely recognized as an A-List celebrity with a passion for luxury cars. In fact, in 2021, Beckham collaborated with Maserati to create a high-end sports car (As a thank you, the company gifted him a customized black MC20 car, personalized just for him).
But Beckham isn’t the only celebrity scoring points with his luxury car collection. One of the better-known celebrity car collectors, Jay Leno, often shows off his $100-million collection in his 122,000-square-foot garage in Burbank, California; he even had a show dedicated to his cars. Meanwhile, Jerry Seinfeld stores his surprising $20 million car collection in an underground garage in Manhattan.
With price tags climbing to $100s million apiece, these top-listers don’t just trust a standard self-storage unit with their million-dollar collections. So, how do they all store these luxury and classic cars?
Neighbor Car Storage Miami is here to unveil the secret world of car storage for celebrities and the ultra-wealthy in Miami and other cities across the world. While luxury car warehouses keep the names of their celebrity clientele secret, we’ll share a glimpse into the types of cars being kept in each.
