Beyonce, supposedly still 29, has allegedly given her husband Jay-Z the most expensive car in the entire world for his 41st birthday last Saturday. The Bugati Veyron Grand Sport costs $2 million dollars and it can’t even go under water, double as a boat, or fly (photos at the end of the post). In fact there’s a car that goes under water that isn’t offered yet, but will probably be cheaper than this. The good news is that this story originated in The Sun, and could be completely made up. It’s hard to fathom anyone dropping two million dollars on a freaking car no matter how rich and flashy they are.
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.

Let’s hope this story is fake, but if it’s not it definitely stands in contrast to the recent news that Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg is going to give away most of his $6.9 billion fortune to charity. And the dude drives a Honda Fit. Now that impresses me way more than a $2 million dollar car.
I don’t want a 2 million dollar car but i would definitely take 2 million dollars in cash 🙂
they really like giving each other cars for presents…
These are people whose value as a person is measured by the expensive things they have. I find it sad all around.
This car is amazing – it was featured on “Top Gear” a few weeks back (the truffle challenge). Has something crazy like eight engines and can go zero-to-60 in less than 2.3 seconds.
It makes sense in Europe where there are so many highways and byways that would allow for you to stretch the legs of this car. Not so much useful here in the U.S.
thats nice
I saw a pic of a car some Saudi Prince supposedly owns and it is completely encrusted with diamonds – way more expensive.
I would be afraid to drive a car so expensive as it would make me a target – especially in these days and times with so many struggling to survive.
I have not been a fan since she preformed at a party for Gaddafi’s son for $2 million.
She tries to portray this “I am such a lady image” but I think she is probably one of those people who are like “I am gonna get mine”. It’s not as if we hear about her doing charity work or anything.
And then I just read that Mark Zuckerberg post about him giving away most of his fortune. Do these two idiots need a $2 million car??? UGH….
I agree that this is a ridiculous gift, but the fact of the matter is, it is her money, and she works hard to earn it. She can spend it and feel free to enjoy it however she wants to.
hells bells.
i’ll be lucky to pull $200 out my a*s for xmas presents next week!
lol 🙂
We don’t know what she and Jay-z donate to charity. And so what if she buys him an expensive car, it’s her money, she earns it. Ever go to one of her concerts? She is AMAZING live, live, high energy, cood, dnacers, fantastic band. She works her socks off so good for her to enjoy her wealth.
#8 Beyonce has donated over $7 million to her church in Houston St John’s . She donated $4 M to Phoenix House drug rehab.She opened a cosmetology school in NY to help girls.Jay is also involved w/ several charities.
So what if she gave him a 2 million dollar car. It’s her money and her husband. Why is this a big deal??? NEXT!!
that car is ugly as shit! looks like a lego car
damn is #12 related? It seems douchey….I have never truly been a fan of either.
No child, that would mess with her figure. Another Jennifer Aniston, she is going to be left what a shock it is going to be to Beyeonce ego!
I am sure he would be just as happy sharing his birthday with the 2 children she will probably never have.
They are bored. He is over it. Gift’s like that can never fill the space. Watch how Monica does it. Now that is happy, even if she had to change up her men to get that way.
Hey, I may not like her but I can’t attack anyone for not wanting children. That really is none of our business.
I wish I could give my sweetie a 2 million dollar car. :^( Not diamond encrusted, just very, very, fast. He’s a car guy. I’m not a car girl – if I could have any car I’d probably drive something dorky and super fuel efficient.
She’s only 29 and at the peak of her career – what’s the rush for her to have kids?
I can’t imagine spending that on a car, but then again, I can’t imagine earning what they do.
I do hope they’re charitable too. I don’t hear much about it, but maybe they keep it private (which I totally respect).
good on them for earning to buy such a toy! wished i had their bucks!!
Of course she did. Because these 2 have quite the reputation for buying one another astronomically priced/rare gifts. I hope it fills the “no baby” void, but I doubt it will. You could never fill my womb with gifts or money instead of babies. (Now, I don’t mean that as a diss against anyone who has elected not to have children. That choice is admirable for its own reasons, so no judgement here. But he’s made it pretty clear he wants kids.)
I doubt the speed limit exceeds 75 mph anywhere in the US unless it is the flatland states or is he going to drive it on the German Autobahn?
*16 so everyone must have kids? As if the world is not overpopulated enough!! And who cares what Beyonce spends her money on? Jeez, it’s now a crime to lavish your own hard-earned cash on ur own husband… smh
this car is about the price tag, but hey she earns her money herself. so this is something so much better than all those other girls who make a living of their sugardaddys purse.
If my husband loves cars and i would have the money? i would do the same.
He’d have been overjoyed if it were her Ultrasound picture. Money can’t buy that kind of happiness.
Funny, if this were a wall street exec this grotesque excess would be condemned on this site, there’s no reason to give these two vacant high school dropout bozos a pass. They throw crumbs while using music to fund their corporate capitalist lifestyle – where are the true leftists. Her “music” blows – you want music try Jimi, Carlos and Janis at woodstock not this cash register on two legs. If Beyonce’s “music” is so great, why does she need to promote it every minute of every day – great music stands on its own. Her “music” will be forgotten in twenty/30 years as she is another manufactured product. WHat a joke that people can’t see this – raise your standards and take off your blinders. ENd of rant.
Jay aint the man spose to provide.
LOVE that shirt he has on on the first
pic….
I can’t believe she is still 29 years old….lol
# 27…i’d be surprised if she is remembered 20-30 years down the line for her music. She has the voice, absolutely, and the “it” quality but she’d probably be more remembered for F*&^%$g the stage so well or is it so good. I do agree that they work for their money so they should splurge as long as they really are giving back. There just shouldn’t be a single person dying from hunger or lack of access to clean water or lack of shelter. That is humanitie’s burden. If I were rich, I wouldn’t be for long. I’d put some aside for myself and family to be comfortable and the rest would be doled out to the truly impoverished.
Some people have no taste and judge everything by the cost, vulgar but true.
She performed for someone who supported a terrorist attack (lockerbie)….can’t stand her
Have to be two of the most overrated, uninspired, boring ‘performers’ in the world. She totally SUCKS and couldn’t write a song to save her life. He just raps about bitches, cars, money, etc.
Stereotypes.
“it definitely stands in contrast to the recent news that Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg is going to give away most of his $6.9 billion fortune to charity. And the dude drives a Honda Fit.”
I was going to point that out while I was reading this story.
Nerds are definitely cooler than rappers!!!
Oh yawn Jover, we’re supposed to be impressed by a bunch of musical junkies from the 70s? Why? I’m a big fan of Rory Gallagher, who by the way Jimi H adored, doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a women who can put on a great stage show.
The whole point of the matter is that it’s their money to do whatever they chose with it even if they themselves want to butrn it, it’s their to do whatever. Again they do give to various charties and great amounts too. Tell me this, why when such couples as Jay/Beyonce Carter decide to spend their hard earn money on whatever, cars, islands it appears to be a crime because they are not taking all their money and save this unfore seen world of crime and hate they are wrong? They are just like you and I only just a celebrity, and if they did chose not to donate all their money to all these charities I say good because they won’t be the only ones who don’t, but sincerely they do give and give a lot so God bless them for all they do and even do for each other.
36 your dimissal of legendary talents over this ho displays your philistinism. Are you actualy asserting this bimbo is equal to Jimi Hendrix? High school kids can put on a good show – that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. Enlarging on 34’s comments her music is to feed her self-absorbed lifestyle – are you her publicist she cares only about herself. I can’t believe this fameho gets so much attention and true singers like Sade and Corinne Bailey Rae are ignored. Without sheeple,there would be no Beyonce.
Errm, to the pretentious music enthusiasts, ALL music has to be promoted including “great music” (whatever that is considering people from all over the world have different music tastes.) Fela Kuti’s music was and is still being promoted, so was Jimi Hendrix.
And so no one sounds like a hypocrite, how many of us ‘average’ people sacrifice comfort for charity? I’d like to see people in the West give up ‘comfortable’ housing for people in Africa who live in huts. Or cycle instead of taking the tube. Just saying!
If Beyonce (someone who already gives much to charity) should downgrade just cos Zuckerman did then maybe we all should too!
By ‘music enthusiasts’, I especially mean # 27 and 31
@ Miss O – I don’t know to which “West” you’re referring, but we donate to the ASPCA and the Humane Society, as well as local food banks and “End Hunger” programmes. I look at it this way: There, but for the grace of God, go I. A long time ago, I was a “sponsored family” for Christmas, and since then, we’ve sponsored families in return for our good fortune.
People (no matter WHO you are) need to put their money where their mouths are.
I asserted no such thing Jover, I said you can think other ‘musicians’are the greatest thing since sliced bread and still appreciate a woman that can put on an amazing stage show.
Calling her a ‘ho’ because you don’t like her music is a tedious low dive though. People should be allowed like what they like, and at different times we all like to listen to different artists, be it pop one day or blues the next.
@ bellaluna good for u!
Anyways, it’s nobody’s place to tell me how to spend my own hard-earned cash, that’s just rubbish! Only HYPOCRITES go around telling other people how to spend their own money… like wtf.
And to suggest that a 29yr old woman has a “void” just cos she’s not had a baby yet, and is in a habit of spending money on herself and her family is just … (fill in the blank)…
Also, I can’t help wondering how many other actors in Hollywood acted a blockbuster movie and donated their ENTIRE salary from the movie to charity??? Beyonce did and people still have the nerve to tell her what to do with her own money!
Who cares if they donate or not? Before you ask how charitable someone else is, how charitable are you and frankly it is no ones’ business. Being charitable is not a competition.
It is her money that she worked incredibly hard for and she can do with it whatever she wants. As far as the “baby void” as ridiculous as that sounds, it is possible that some people have no desire to have children and are perfectly fine and therefore have no void.
You only live once and what better way than to do this on your own terms. She will not take her money with her.
Isn’t this what rap stars do? Buy ridiculously expensive shit?
And hey, it’s their money. They earned it and can spend it however they like.
*deadly car crash* fingers crossed
Umm, you know the story is so true. Car seems bad ass but, a bit over the top to say the least.
How ridiculous. The time of the year when most will go w/o a real X-mas and this twat gives her hubby a $2 million car? And now we have to hear about it? What about her home girl Kelly Rowland in trouble with taxes? She owes $93,000. Where is the true gift of giving? I don’t care for anyone who defines themselves by the material things. What a bee-atch!
Kelly Rowland is an adult, and as such can and should be able to look after her own taxes. Same as Beyonce is NOT the casue of people having a crummy Christmas.
Artista- what a true scummy thing to say.
@gabriela
my thoughts exactly. what a bunch of self-entitled assholes. let’s face it you have money because … you sing and dance? hahahahahahahah!
many of you need to get over your broke asses and stop with the nagging charity train…..wtf? Mark zuckerbeg can infact donate himself to charity, why should that concern beyonce or any other rich ‘school dropout’ as some silly person put it. You want to tell people how to spend their own money…give to charity…bla, bla, bla…stop it. Always nagging about people and their insane money and how they spend it. What are you? Their accountant? You sound pathetic.
This may be the most expensive new car, but there are classic cars that sell for 20mill+
if beyonce and camel want to spend THEIR money on expensive cars, etc. that’s their business. Their fans are the ones paying for the concerts, cds, etc. and that’s their prerogative. if these two decide to give to charity, that’s also their business. i wonder how many of those yakking about these two buying extravagant gifts give to charity?
Not a fan of either one however, she is absolutely gorgeous, and I do not understand what she sees in him. He is not attractive in the least! Phew!
That fugly dude needs to give me that car. I would adore it and drive it, not lock it away with the rest of the expensive cars he owns and doesn’t use.
She’s 29, no need for kids! Look what happened to J.Lo and Gwen Staffani’s careers after having kids! Actresses can pull off kids, Much easier than artists!
So…people are on the Marion Cotillard post talking about how her alleged engagement ring is too small, but they’re pissed at this alleged purchase by Beyonce? It’s okay to be kind of materialistic, but not too much?
her face is ridiculously pretty in the second picture
Who cares? Whenever she is interviewed, she sounds like she hasn’t even finished high school. Meh.
that’s not the most expensive car in the world. the most expensive sold at auction for twelve million dollars.
You can do anything for love, as long as its a genuine love. So its not Beyounce’s choice.
It’s the most expensive PRODUCTION car of the world. And it’s a steal, because the production costs of that car are easily over 5 million US$ – VW is selling it underpriced simply out of PR reasons and we see it works. They created a lot of talk value.
people pls stop all this talk about lady b and he hubby anybody can spend their money on anything thing
I’m opposed to this kind of extravagance in general, but to all of these people lauding zuckerburg, stop. you need to read beyond the headlines. These billionaires aren’t giving away billions of dollars, because most of their wealth is in stocks and other financial instruments not liquid and they aren’t handing out any stocks.
i really dont kno wat prob is dont just understand y pple should b beefing dem its jt crazy whenever they are ready the kids would come n whatever dey do wit their money is nobodys business and the funny thing is the pple criticizing dem it nt like they are any better i think beyonce is great singer and jay z is great guy….
I couldn’t give a rat’s bollix about these two or the contents of her womb (or indeed the lack thereof).
Just replace their photos with more car pr0n! 😀
Why waste your money buying such an ugly vehicle?
