Rappers tend to have some of the biggest paychecks known to man. Even "Birdman" who may not be the most recognized or the most talented rapper has enough money to splurge now and again. Keeping that in mind, it’s no wonder that he recently became the owner of a Maybach Exelero for which he paid an incredible $8 million. Considering Forbes lists him as the fourth wealthiest rapper and he is also the proud owner of a Bugatti Veyron and a Maybach Landaulet, this latest purchase shouldn’t astound anyone. "They got this new Maybach that I want that costs $8 million, I gotta have it," he said in a recent interview, and why shouldn’t he when his net worth is estimated to be $100 million? The Exelero is powered by a V12 biturbo engine that develops an impressive 700 HP at 5,000 rpm and 753 lm.ft of maximum torque at 2,500 rpm. It can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and hits a top speed of 218 mph. If that isn’t impressive enough, there is only one Exelero in the world. UPDATE 08/15/2011: Either Birdman has changed his mind or the money from his old CDs isn’t coming in as fast as he would like it to because the rapper has yet to pay for his expensive new ride. According to a representative of European entrepreneur, Arnaud Massartic (the current owner of the Exelero), Birdman has yet to pay for the Maybach. All this means is that anyone with a spare $8 million can still snag the vehicle and pull a Jay-Z/Kanye makeover. (MotorAuthority) .
25 comments: Birdman becomes proud owner of an $8 million Maybach Exelero; (...) Well, you’ve said it. He’s not-so-famous, so I don’t even know why Maybach allowed him to have it in the first place. Maybach Exelero certainly appeals to rappers’ tastes because of its flashy design and impressive engine.
Based on what I have read before, he already owns the vehicle, but it seems that he is just tested driving the car. And I agree, that he doesn’t like the excessive power output of the car. I think it would be better if he chooses a slower car like the Mercedes AMG.
Well, in the first place, I think he will not enjoy the high speed performance of the Bugatti, since he is not that into speed! What’s the use of owning a speedy vehicle when you are not happy on its awesome ponies!
I like the styling of the vehicle. This luxurious car deliver an impressive amount of power. I think its kind of odd for a supercar.
haha. I was laughing on the news about the unpaid Bugatti Veyron of Birdman! Just like what I have thought, how come a not so well-known artist owned such vehicle!
I doubt if Birdman can really catch up this one. Well, the article said that he hasn’t paid it yet so I wonder why is that so. Maybe he still needs
to work hard for him to pay that thing.
For an unknown rapper like him. Me either wonder on how can he afford this million dollar car! Maybe he is just test driving the car or he borrowed from a friend!hehe
hahaha. Oh yeah! I guess guys there’s no more reason to envy this rapper! Well, it seems that needs to sell his Veyron in order to cash out this one!
Birdman, the rapper? He afforded this $8 million Maybach Exelero? whoa! Maybe I’ll change my career now. haha kidding aside I’m so impressed with him. He may be really like this car for him to throw $8 million just for this one. I can’t blame him co’z this car is really pretty and cool.
