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."

2 million for a car that will basically sit in a garage? Wow. What 2 milion could have really done. if most celebrities would invest in people instead of all the money they waste on things, there would be no shortage of support for charitable organizations. Lets ee, in the city they live, over 10,000 kidsunder the age of 17 are homeless living on the streets. they left home because the streets were sfaer or they were kicked out because of their sexual orientation. I hate greed! You see these fools like P Diddy and others waste so much money, then they give 100K to charity. Well, you cant take it with you and really, just think how 2 million could have made a huge difference for so many people. How many schlorships would that have paid for for inner city kids? I wish all if the celebrity greed would just go away and they would really use there money where it is needed.

There is always going to be a family somewhere that needs help. This is nothing new. It has been going on for centuries. Why do people always want to cry about it when someone that has worked hard for their money actually enjoys it. We tell our kids to go to college and get an education so they can get a good job and have a good life. Well guess what? She has a good job and she is enjoying her life. They both give back. So many people say they don't like her but someone has to or she would not be making millions so I say good for both of them. You can't take the money with you so why not spend it.

537 million between them?
I hope they can do at least 10% charitable donation!!!! 53.7 million would do a lot of good around the world- and be a tax deduction!!!!!
2 million for ego-really

By Anton

You can get the girl out of the ghetto , but not the ghetto out the girl.
But anayway enjoy the car.

By smj

Too bad that she didn't take that 2 million dollars and put it toward K-12 education. Teachers are being laid off and our children are suffering. I hope he enjoys the car.

By djcdav1

you think these 2 really care about black people in the ghetto? LOL

By bm35mm

I'm not a hater but,with all the people hurting finacially these days this realy piss's me off. She could have bought a whole small city of kids christmas presents or christmas dinners with that much money. What a disgrace !

By Karen

Here I am and my employment is out !!! im tring to figure out where im going to get money for food and how to pay my car payment. I had an old clunker but i had to drive 40 miles each way so i bought a reliable car to get me back and fourth my job only lasted for 3 yrs then there were 48 people laid off they replaced us with temps . It must be nice to be rich !!!!

By Larry

Good for you Beyonce and Jay Z, enjoy your life and tell the haters to k**s your behind. They earned every penny and have a RIGHT to live well. haters, stop hating and start appreciating SUCCESS and maybe you won't be crying on here about your miserable life....

By rainbow97

So pathetic & talk about being self absorbed.

By RICK

Once again, I agree. Jayz and Beyonce don't give a damn about black people living in the ghetto or poor white people living in trailer parks, as long as they continue to buy that HIPHOP music which is a poor quality of music and support mind controling concerts that's destroying poor black and white children.WAKE UP!

By JANICE

Now isn't that sweet, a 2 million dollar car. Just think of all the homeless and jobless people that money would have helped. These people make me sick!!

By linda

Waste of money. I hope that if I ever had that kind of money I would have enough sense to use it in a more philanthropic manner. A 2 million dollar car is a monument to one's own stupidity.

By Z

And just WHERE do you drive a car that goes this fast....to the 7-11 for a bag of chips? I once read that Beyonce was NOT a lavish spender or flaunted her money. Must have been an "unknown" Beyonce imitator.

By Trind

So typical. I hate cause you have what I don't and can never see myself getting. No one knows how much these people do for charity. I like to see how well the haters would tolerate someone, they don't even know,....telling them how to spend their hard earned money. They've made choices and their choices led to riches. If you're po....it's your choices. B and J may as well spend and enjoy some of their money. They not going to take it with them.
