Top 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces

Untying the knot (severing and torching) is an angsty and expensive ordeal, but when you happen to be a celebrity, it can be downright brutal!  For the price some of these stars paid to sever ties, one could own an impressive fleet of luxury rental cars, high-end properties around the world and so much more!  Ouch!

The Top 10 most expensive celebrity divorces, reported by Forbes, include:

1.  Michael Jordan.  After a lengthy 18-year marriage to wife Juanita Vanoy, Vanoy walked away with a cool $150 million divorce settlement.  The song ‘Love Hurts’ is running through my head.

Move Over, Bugatti! Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is Most Expensive Supercar

For nearly a decade Bugatti has held the most expensive supercar title.  The wealthiest luxury car lovers in the world drive Bugatti, and Beyoncé gifted a Bugatti Grand Sport to Jay-Z.  But now the legendary Lamborghini brand has ousted the title, with their latest creation, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.

So expensive and fast is this model, that it is unlikely to ever hold a spot in a fleet of Lamborghini rentals!  I bet it comes with a matching racing helmet.

Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Land Rover and BMW to Jack Up Prices in India

Where there is demand, there will be price increases in any area possible.  This is clearly the case as luxury carmakers saturate the currently lucrative Asian exotic car market, which has paved the way to a government tax increase from 10% to 30%.  What?  A government demanding a larger slice of the profits (Note sarcasm)?

BMW Z4 Roadster India, now 20% higher?

The luxury car boom in India will now become more expensive, which isn’t likely to put it to a screeching halt anytime soon.  The luxury car market’s Chinese women will continue to swipe credit cards for exotic cars, no matter what the taxes are.  Those investing in luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Land Rover and BMW will simply have to dig deeper into their wallets for the privilege of ownership.

Wrecked Exotic Cars: 20-Year-Old Totals Dad’s Apollo

Gumpert Apollo Crash Germany

Apollo supercar crash in Germany

Whenever a high-end exotic car is crashed, we all want to know the details.  It seems that a 20-year-old in Germany has completely totaled his dad’s Gumpert Apollo supercar, worth $400k plus!  The boy wonder and passenger (a 19-year-old girl) were unharmed; along with the luxury car’s cabin…the body was completely destroyed. 

I hope the poor chap at least got some tail out of this tailspin…that is a lot of money to impress a chic!  A sophisticated luxury car rental would have sufficed to impress the lady.

Bugatti Veyron Tires Cost More than a Standard Car

On display at this year’s New York International Auto Show are the Bugatti Veyron and the 2012 Nissan Versa.  A new set of tires for a Bugatti cost more than the $10,990 MSRP of the Nissan Versa.  Actually, you could have about 100 Versas for the price of a single Bugatti Veyron, with a price tag north of $1.4 million USD…but who the hell wants them?  Those who can’t afford a luxury car can always just indulge a bit behind the wheel of an exotic rental car Miami…or drive a Nissan.

Recently the hautest new London address, One Hyde Park, showed the world the meaning of a launch party!  The champagne flowed, 5,000 golden balloons were released from the roof, guests dined on the creations of Heston Blumethal and Daniel Boulud, and those fortunate enough to be present could rub elbows with the likes of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Eastern European oligarchs, Middle Eastern sheiks, Chinese entrepreneurs, Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone and 350 other select VIPs.  I can just picture the flawless lineup of luxury rental cars gracing the opulent entrance.

Would you rather own a brand spanking new Ferrari exotic car, or the Official Ferrari Opus…a book that costs around $50,000 more than the car?  Yes, the Ferrari 458 Italia, the latest model from the marquee, comes with a price tag of around $225,325, but the Ferrari Opus is around $275,000.  Of course there is always the option of a Ferrari rental Miami style for far less…or ten new Prius sissy cars.
