Beyonce Gives Jay-Z the World's Most Expensive Car

By John Mitchell Posted Dec 9th 2010 10:15AM

Beyonce Knowles showed just how much she loves her husband Jay-Z by reportedly presenting him with a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, on his birthday. The rap mogul turned 41 on Dec. 4 and to celebrate, The Sun reports his better half bought him one of the world's fastest and most expensive production cars ever built.

The Veyron Grand Sport is powered by a 16.4-liter engine that produces 1,000 horsepower with a top speed of 253 mph and a 0-60 mph time of just 2.7 seconds. And the price for all that speed and power: a cool $2 million.

Beyonce can certainly afford it. According to Forbes, she made $87 million this year. Jay-Z is no slouch in the earnings department either, he has a business empire and a fortune estimated at $450 million.

The Veyron will add to Jay-Z's impressive car collection which according to The Sun includes a Maybach 62S, Ferrari F430 Spider and a Pagani Zonda Roadster.

Next on the list for the couple could be a baby. Beyonce pregnancy rumors are an almost daily occurrence and last month her mom Tina Knowles shot down any baby speculation, but did say she can't wait to be a grandmother and she believes they would make "great parents."

At a time when families are struggling and trying so hard to make it financially, reading stories like this really pull the plug on optimism.

By fiona

...and at the end of the day, after a short trip to God-knows-where, it sits there in the garage, depreciating, just like the rest of our cars.

By BTDT

Granted, I'm not stinking rich like these people, but two million for a car just seems foolish.

By Olivia

My goodness. What a bunch of jealous horrible people on here! I don't have two nickels to rub together but after all..they did earn this money. It's theirs and they can do as they please with it. It's nobodys business.Yikes. Money sure dioes bring out the ugly in people.
I'm healthy. That's fortune enough for me.

By Matt

If "it's nobody's business", then why do they have to tell us about it?

By RMI

Hmmm, with so many people just trying to eat and pay rent to publish a story like this just seems wrong. I'm glad they can afford such a car they both work hard and have talent but this just feels wrong to me.

By themeeker

Really Beyonce??? Do you know how many starving children would have been helped with that money? You are a jerk. She won't be seeing any of MY money any time in the future.

By Felice

You are so correct! At the end of the day - it is just a car. So many children and families could have been helped with that money. I am not rich, but I do what I can to help those who are less fortunate than myself and my family. Jay-Z has been blessed - he should bless others.

She can have all my money.

You can't blame her for all the starving kids out there. Blame the ones who can't keep their legs closed and keep having kids they can't feed! Condoms are much cheaper than formula and diapers!

By jeweleast9

The rich buy expensive things because they can afford to. She made the money by working for it. She can spend it any way she chooses to.

By tony

it does seem kind of selfish this time of year .
