Singer, songwriter, fashionista, model and businesswoman, Robyn Rihanna Fenty aka Rihanna is currently the youngest self-made billionaire in the US with a net worth of 1.4 billion. And so, it’s not surprising that her luxury indulgences include swanky properties, high-end jewellery, and a huge car collection of some of the most expensive automobiles.
Born and brought up in Barbados, Rihanna stepped into the pop music industry at the age of 17, with the chart-busting single “Pon de Replay” in 2005 and never looked back. As per a Forbes report in 2021, she is the richest female musician in the world.
However, her sensational music career isn’t the only reason for her massive fortune. Her successful make-up brand, Fenty Beauty plays a pivotal role in her income. Additionally, her appearances in major movies, such as Battleship (2012), Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) and Ocean’s 8 (2018), and countless brand endorsements add to her fortune.
Having created an empire of her own, the queen has to move in style as well. This takes us to Rihanna’s luxury car collection, which reflects her exquisite taste in automobiles.
Here are some of the most expensive cars in Rihanna’s collection
Mercedes SLR McLaren

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss is a limited-edition supercar named after the legendary British racer. Reportedly, in 2008, the makeup mogul bought the chic car costing over USD 1 million for her then-boyfriend Chris Brown’s 24th birthday. But when they broke up in 2013, she decided to keep the beauty for herself.
It is one of the rarest vehicles in the Grammy winner’s collection. Only 75 prototypes of the car were built by Mercedes-Benz, which is powered by a 5.4-litre supercharged AMG V8 engine with 650 HP and 819 NM of torque. The supercar can speed up to an impressive 350 km/h (220 mph).
Mercedes-Benz introduced the SLR as a coupé but later decided to remove the A-pillars and windshields, and added two tall roll-bars behind the seats to the open-top convertible.
The car manufacturer also installed two small windscreens in the cockpit to safeguard the passengers from the wind. Another feature of the roadster is that if the driver drives alone, the passenger seat can be easily closed with a lid.
It also has an instrument panel displaying a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and coolant temperature.
Ferrari 488 GTB
