Rap prodigy Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. started his career when other boys his age were preoccupied with coming of age.
Known by his stage name Lil Wayne, he became the youngest artist to sign to rapper Birdman’s Cash Money Records in 1995 when he was just 12 years old. According to Uproxx, Lil Wayne was the first recording artist to have six number-one hits in a single year on the Billboard charts. According to Houston Press, Weezy holds the record for the most U.S. Hot 100 hits (64) of any rapper between 1999 and 2010 in the Guinness Book of World Records.
With a $150 million net worth, Wealthy Gorilla lists Lil Wayne among the top 10 richest rappers in the world. With that much money, Weezy frequently drives around in opulent vehicles. But which of his astounding collection of exotic cars will draw the most attention given its eye-popping price?
Which vehicle is the most costly for Lil Wayne?
The Bugatti Veyron is without a doubt Lil Wayne’s priciest vehicle. In addition, it’s the priciest vehicle in the garages of several other famous people, including Drake, John Cena, 50 Cent, Manny Khoshbin, and so on. Prices for a limited edition Veyron variant range from approximately $2 million to $1.2 million, making it suitable for an ultra-wealthy rapper such as Lil Wayne. Though it was the Chiron’s forerunner, a Veyron is not as common on the road as a Camry or Corolla. Bugatti produced only 450 Veyrons (in various configurations) starting in 2005.
The powerful 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine of the Veyron is the reason it is a supercar worthy of the highest praise. With its 1,000 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque directed towards all four wheels, the Veyron was once the fastest production car in the world. It could reach 60 mph in less than 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 267 mph.
Elegant and costly
Although Lil Wayne’s vehicle is less costly, it is still rarer than the Bugatti Veyron. The Richest claims that Lil Wayne is the happy owner of a gorgeous Mercedes-Maybach 62 Landaulet. Mercedes produced just 18 pre-facelift 62 S Landaulet units and four facelifted variants before halting production in October 2012, according to a Maybach Haus report. What makes the Maybach special The convertible rear top of the 62 Landaulet is reminiscent of 1930s luxury vehicles.
Not only is it an opulent ride, but it also moves like a real Autobahn stormer. It can accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in 5.5 seconds thanks to a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 630 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. In addition, the Maybach 62 Landaulet (per DuPont Registry) has a top speed of 155 mph and a base price of less than $2 million.
A $228,000 Mercedes SLS AMG, a $280,000 Bentley Mulsanne, a $400,000 McLaren 720 S, a $90,000 Cadillac CTS, and a $550,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe are just a few of the more costly vehicles Lil Wayne has in his garage.
