Tesla Model S - $94,990
Just as his name suggests, John's life is legendary which means that he also owns some unique and legendary vehicles. One of those vehicles is the Tesla Model S, which also happens to be the most expensive car on the list at $94,990. The Tesla Model S, co-founded by Elon Musk, is it a class all its own because not only is it a luxury sports car, but it's also fully electric, which means that it doesn't need the use of regular unleaded gasoline. According to Consumer Reports, the vehicle can travel between 180 and 225 miles per charge and charges to full capacity in as little as five hours. It also comes with a 100 kWH battery and was recently upgraded to a ultra-high performance that has 1,020 horsepower and a 396-mile range, making it's performance superb for an electric vehicle.
Cadillac Escalade - $76,295
From Kim Kardashian and soccer superstar David Beckham to actor/comedian Adam Sandler and singer Justin Bieber, the Cadillac Escalade seems to be a staple in the garages of most popular celebrities. And since John Legend has become a megastar musician, he also owns one of the popular SUVs. Known for its sprawling interior space and massive outer appearance, it's no wonder why the Cadillac Escalade is a favorite among rappers and Hollywood celebrities when compared to other brands like the Range Rover Sport, Porsche Cayenne, and the Mercedes-Benz-G-Class. Ranging at about $76,295, it's most notable features are its 7-8 full-size seating capacity, it's powerful 6.2-liter V-8 engine, rear or four-wheel drive features, and standard lane-keeping assist.
Chevrolet Impala - $32,495
There's a reason the Chevrolet Impala has been the brand of choice for manufactured police cars. Introduced for the first time in 1958, the car has been long known for its spaciousness, smooth riding experience, and plush seats. Not forgetting to mention its affordable price, ranging around $32,495. Among its most impressive features are a 305-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, as stated by Car and Driver. Among the celebrities known for owning older versions of the Chevrolet Impala are the rappers Ice Cube and the late Easy-E.
Lexus LS - $76,000
If you're looking for a brand of car that spells luxury, class, and sleek style suited to a celebrity's life then it's Lexus. Compared to manufacturers like Mercedes and BMW, the Lexus LS comes equipped with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that generates a total of 438 horsepower, comes with automatic transmission with Power and Snow modes, all wheel drive, air suspension, lane-keeping assist, and heated front and rear seats to name a few features. All these features and more are the reasons that celebrities like actresses Mila Kunis, Halle Berry, Sex and The City's Sarah Jessica Parker, and actor Gerard Butler all keep a luxury Lexus model parked in their garage. The Lexus LS starts at $76,000, which is peanuts for Legend's million-dollar net worth.
Porsche Taycan - $82,700
Apart from being the second most-expensive car in the 2x multi-platinum selling artist's garage at $82,700. Legend's Porsche Taycan has been getting some fame of its own in recent times. According to Auto Evolution, in November 2022, while parked outside of a recording studio in Los Angeles, California, the Taycan was almost stolen and the unidentified man has since been arrested. Had the thief been successful in his attempt, he would've given the LAPD a run for their money, being that the Porsche Taycan has a ridiculous acceleration speed of 0-62 mph in just 2.8 seconds and 0-124 mph in 9.8 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph. Both Chrissy Teigen and John can count their lucky stars that the thief was a novice and the security cameras caught everything on tape!
Range Rover Discovery - $53,325
The only other SUV that can give the Cadillac Escalade and the Mercedes-Benz-G-Class any serious competition is the Range Rover Discovery. Claimed by celebrities such as singers Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and actresses Jennifer Garner and Angelina Jolie, the Range Rover Discovery seems to be a favorite with the ladies. Equipped with seven full-sized seat capacity, keyless entry, and adaptive cruise control, it's perfect to bring along the entire Legend family, with room enough for friends! However, the Discovery is a lot less than the Escalade, starting at $53,325, which is a great deal considering its interior capacity and specifications.
