Cars of Celebrities and Stars

Paris Hilton: Bentley Continental GT Base price: $171,285 Bentley's Continental GT is becoming like Paris Hilton: famous for being famous. Hilton is perhaps the most visible celebrity who has been spotted behind the wheel of one of Bentley's new-generation beauties, and a variety of other famous drivers have made the Continental GT an icon among the rich and famous.

Britney Spears: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Base price: $452,750 The flagship Mercedes-Benz is one of the world's ten most expensive cars, which for pop-star Britney Spears is not an obstacle, but fodder for bragging rights.

Madonna: Maybach 57 Base price: $335,250 As one of the music-world's most successful people, Madonna fittingly chooses to be seen in what may be the ultimate symbol of success: a Maybach. This is more than just a limousine. Sure, it has every creature comfort you could imagine, but it also has a 543-hp V-12 with twin turbochargers. This means that the owner can take the Maybach out to kick butt in the occasional street race (OK, so we doubt this happens often--but it's possible). (Source: America Online)

Julia Roberts: Toyota Prius ; Base price: $22,305 Actress Julia Roberts is part of a vocal group of celebrities who have been seen driving gas/electric hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius sedan. You can get a highly fuel-efficient car for $10,000 less than a Prius, meaning the benefits of the Toyota are less about saving money on gas and more about saving the environment with lower emissions. For Roberts and other advocates, hybrids are a visible commitment to doing good--a choice that is as much about principle as Britney Spears' McLaren is about power.

Having dominated several African rallies, the Range Rover is known for its ability to conquer the wide variety of off-road terrain on that continent, from deserts to tricky mountain passes.
