C.J. Wilson
C.J. Wilson pitches for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team. He's also the owner of a McLaren P1 supercar. This is no small thing, as Car and Driver magazine said that owning one of these limited edition beauties will set you back a cool $1.2 million. But how can you stand out from the other 374 people who also own one?

In Wilson's case, you buy one in blue and purple, or, "blurple" and consider yourself part of a proud tradition. "Creative colors are the most common form of vehicle personalization we see from wealthy car owners," Brauer said.

Justin Bieber
In 2012, on the occasion of his 18th birthday, teen heartthrob and musical sensation Justin Bieber became the recipient of a $100,000 Fisker Karma from manager Scooter Braun. He promptly had it plated from top to bottom in chrome, much to the heartbreak of some car aficionados.

The car has earned Biebs a cozy relationship with law enforcement. The singer was cited for driving it in a "reckless manner" in July 2012 on the 101 Freeway in California.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger's days as a blockbuster movie star may belong to decades past, but as recently as 2012 he was still living the good life, as his purchase of a Mercedes-Benz Unimog proved at the time.

"Just the name, 'Unimog,' sounds like something out of a sci-fi cyborg movie, making it the perfect Arnold Schwarzenegger ride," Brauer said. Sadly, times change and celebrity fades, and in September 2014, he put his 5-ton ride up for sale for $275,000.

Riyadh Al-Azzawi

In August 2014, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported that the streets of London's most affluent neighborhoods were being overrun by expensive sports cars, owned predominantly by citizens of such countries as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The Daily Mail said that the owners park their cars there in the summertime to prevent the lava-hot Middle Eastern climate from damaging their pricey exteriors. In this case, the Gold Ferrari 458 Spider pictured here is owned by kickboxer Riyadh Al-Azzawi, who moved to the U.K. and won the world championship in 2008.

Tyrese Gibson
Actor and musician Tyrese Gibson became the proud owner of a customized Mercedes-Benz Ghost Sprinter in May 2014, and put photos of himself in its spacious interior on Instagram. The seats were pink and beige, for reasons best known to him, and guests whose eyes happened to wander from the 42-inch television screen had the suede interior walls to look at instead.

One suspects that Gibson might bore easily, because his possession of the van proved short-lived. In October, a mere five months after buying it, he announced that he was selling the van and moving on to greener automotive pastures. Onward and upward.

Michael Jordan
When buying a new car, many of us hope to have the privilege of seeing its odometer turn over many times. However, many of us aren't former NBA star Michael Jordan, who bought a 2007 Mercedes McLaren SLR 722, only to put it up for sale after driving it just 962 miles.

Jordan put the gently used car on eBay for $430,000, and according to the specs listed by Yahoo Sports, you get a lot of rear-wheel drive for that price. Specifically, you get the ability to go from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of 209 mph.

Dan Bilzerian
Professional poker player Dan Bilzerian does nothing halfway. That goes for his choice of vehicle, and who can blame him? After all, why drive a mere 4x4 when you can drive a Mercedes-Benz G63 6x6 utility vehicle and command six, count 'em, six wheels instead?

"We're well into the second decade of the 21st century, and that calls for 50 percent more driven wheels," Brauer said. However, it doesn't come cheap, and according to Autoweek it costs approximately $634,000 to garage one of these beasts.

Bonus: Nicki Minaj

Rapper Nicki Minaj caused a stir by painting a $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador in her trademark shade of pink, which debuted along with the launch of her fashion line at Kmart in Los Angeles, California October 15, 2013.
