Our minds race to images of private jets, beautiful houses and spectacular cars. Well, after seeing some of the dreadful, grotesque barbarities that celebs have turned their cars into, your perception of celebrities may change\u2026 and your eyes may sting. If you still believe that wealth and class go hand-in-hand, prepare to be proven wrong. Here\u2019s a list of some of the worst, most tacky celebrity cars that have ever existed.Justin BieberLet\u2019s start with a name that everyone knows, Justin Bieber. Much like his behaviour, choice of clothing and his lifestyle as a whole, this particular car of his is excessively outrageous and ridiculous.Yes, he got it wrapped in a leopard print vinyl. I mean, could you make an R8 look any more tacky if you tried? But wait, you think that\u2019s bad? Well there\u2019s more…Hopefully the G wagon\u2019s job was just a wrap as well, because my god if that\u2019s an actual paint job that is just criminal. Not only does it look like a budget Christmas card from Card Factory, but also, he\u2019s literally spent thousands on a wrap job that\u2019s only relevant for 1 month of the entire year…Pink atrocitiesIt\u2019s a well known fact that celebs often have plastic surgery, but some take the plastic look a bit further by making their car look like a large scale Barbie toy. To name a few, there\u2019s Paris Hilton, Nicki Minaj, Amber Rose and Mariah Carey, all making their otherwise awesome and expensive cars look more like a child\u2019s plaything than a luxury car.One positive we can derive from these pink atrocities is that the colour is great for one thing\u2026 I\u2019m sure it acts as a great joy rider deterrent.Chris BrownA while back, famous pop artist Chris Brown applied some pretty ghastly designs onto his Lamborghini Gallardos. One turning the exotic car into a Hot Wheels toy and the other design was a military jet themed arrangement.Chris Brown\u2019s \u201cHot Wheels\u201d design looks more like a Fisher-Price \u201cMy First Lambo\u201d playset and the fighter jet paint\/vinyl job wasn\u2019t much better.Deadmau5But if you think Chris Brown\u2019s taste in car customisation is appalling, wait \u2018til you see what famous DJ Deadmau5 has done with his fleet of motors. His victims: 1 Ferrari 458 Spider and 1 Lamborghini Huracan, both sufferers of the same abuse.The funny thing is, Ferrari saw what he did and disliked it so much they formally ordered him to remove some of the elements of the design with an official cease and desist notice! There must be some justice in the world after all.LeBron JamesNow, LeBron James is known for his exceptional athletic talent and is considered one of the most successful basketballers around. However, all his Lamborghini Aventador says is that he\u2019s still got the same taste in design as a 10 year old. However, we don\u2019t know if LeBron genuinely thought this was a good looking design and was the one responsible for it or whether the whole thing was just a promotional brand deal with Nike.The design comes from the inside of Nike\u2019s LeBron 11 trainers and the car was presented at an event which also had various displays of some of Nike\u2019s shoes meaning the whole thing was set up for commercial gain. Still, no matter who\u2019s responsible for this, Nike or LeBron James, they should be ashamed for ruining a car that costs as much as a house with what looks like a child\u2019s bedroom wallpaper.Flo RidaOur penultimate terrible celeb car is owned by the well known pop artist Flo Rida. This could be the worst of them all considering the sheer cost of the car. It\u2019s a Bugatti Veyron, in gold…Logically speaking, making something gold should make it look more valuable and therefore more desirable. That is unfortunately not the case with cars and Flo Rida\u2019s \u201cbling bling\u201d gold Bugatti proves this point.Will.I.AmLast but not least, Will.I.Am from The Black Eyed Peas has some rather unique vehicles that often turn heads, but not in a good way. One of his most well-known cars is the matte blue custom-made hot rod\/classic, made by West Coast Customs and allegedly costing $900,00!It\u2019s a shame because if it wasn\u2019t that ugly matte blue colour with the silver details, I think this car could have looked amazing. But that\u2019s not the only motor monstrosity Will.I.Am has created. Straight out of his lab of horrors, he\u2019s also birthed a custom DeLorean that shamelessly degrades and disregards the original.On top of the offence of ruining the iconic design of the DeLorean, Will.I.Am also had his car impounded due to the offence of driving without license plates. Once again, justice was served.So there we have it, at the end of the day celebs are people too, meaning their taste in cars isn\u2019t necessarily superior and in many cases, it\u2019s much much worse."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Unbelievably Bad Celebrity Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/unbelievably-bad-celebrity-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
