Dwyane Wade has spent years earning the love and admiration of basketball fans while playing for the Miami Heat. While becoming one of the best known basketball players in the league, he found time to accumulate an impression collection of luxury and exotic cars suited to his superstar status.
Happy 30th Birthday
There is no better way to celebrate a birthday than being given an intensely cool sports car. Dwyane Wade received a black 2012 McLaren MP4-12C from a Florida car dealership for whom he’s done brand ambassador work in the past. Just in case the turbocharged McLaren wasn't extravagant enough to celebrate the Heat player’s landmark birthday on its own, the car was presented to Wade via crane, which lifted the vehicle over the exterior wall of the hotel onto a platform in front of the birthday boy, his friends, and a gathered group of spectators.
Happy 31st Birthday
Dwyane Wade received another generous gift from the same car dealership the following year for his 31st birthday. The basketball star was given a second McLaren MP4-12C, this time in a bright brick red paint job. There was no elaborate presentation for this gift; the car was parked in Dwyane Wade’s driveway the morning of his birthday. Just like the previous year’s gift, Wade’s second McLaren can reach impressive speeds thanks to its turbocharged engine.
Custom Escalade
While not the most expensive car owned by Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade, the custom Cadillac Escalade regularly driven by Wade makes a luxurious statement. The extra-large eight passenger SUV is adorned with chrome accents that highlight the vehicle’s lush blue paint job. True to the Escalade’s reputation of class and comfort, the interior of Wade’s custom Cadillac is outfitted with faux wood, leather, and the plenty of luxurious add-ons.
The King of Bling
Dwyane Wayne became the official King of Bling when his 2006 Hummer H2 SUT won first place in a celebrity custom car competition. Wade’s unbeatable entry into the competition to benefit charity was as stylish as it was enormous. Every detail of the white H2 reflects the player’s luxurious, and sometimes over-the-top, sense of style. The reward for topping famously car loving celebrities like Snoop Dogg was a well-deserved $10,000 donation to the Dwyane Wade Foundation.
It makes sense that one of the most recognizable NBA stars owns a veritable fleet of jaw dropping vehicles. While devoting his career to the Miami Heat, Wade has both purchased and been given some of car culture’s most sought after rides, from fast and flashy McLarens to a one of a kind Hummer H2. Dwyane Wade’s collection of cars exemplifies his sense of style, which is chock full of flamboyant charm and high class luxury.
