Read about Khaled Mohamed Khaled and you’ll learn that he’s loved rap music since he was just a tyke. It was that love that transformed him into the infamous DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled is a radio personality, DJ, producer, CEO, and all-around entrepreneur that has made plenty of waves in the hip-hop world. With his ever-growing stash of money, it’s obvious that he loves one thing as much as rap music—cars. Seen in a variety of rides, it’s hard to know what’s temporary and which are permanent. But one thing is certain—DJ Khaled has impeccable taste in vehicles. Here are some of his sweetest whips.
Ferrari 458 Italia
So it’s true—Snapchat and driving don’t mix, and DJ Khaled admits that. However, trust him to create a positive and humorous spin on crashing such a glorious vehicle. His red 458 Italia suffered the brunt of the injuries. Prior to the damage, it featured a price tag of over $200,000, Ferrari’s legendary styling and the ability to reach speeds of almost 200 mph.
Maybach 57
When DaimlerChrysler AG revived the Maybach at the beginning of the millennium, the 57 was one of the first models available. The style inspiration came from the Mercedes S-Class, but the interiors are decidedly an ultra-luxurious step up. Khaled’s $400,000 black Maybach has been customized, and is known as his mobile office. He talks about conducting business from the backseat, which according to Maybach fans, is very comfortable. Maybach’s powerful performance gives a thrill beyond looks. For the lucky people with the V12 Maybach 57 S, you can reach 60 mph in mere seconds.
Range Rover Supercharged
Range Rover has become the—yawn—SUV for discerning hip-hop moguls. That said—DJ Khaled’s Range Rover has some personalized perks from Unique Autosports in Miami. The 2011 ride was equipped with a JL Audio System to enhance sound clarity, cleanness and quality. The slightly more unique Range Rover now boasts the right sound system to listen to music in the style it deserves. As far as the Supercharged features go, drivers get a smooth and powerful ride with navigation, parking assist and a roomy, comfortable interior.
BMW F10
BMW’s F10 series takes sedans to the next level. Equipped with a potent engine and BMW’s world-class engineering, it’s not your sedate, everyday vehicle. According to Khaled’s Instagram stream, his BMW F10 represents how he is #sufferingfromsuccess. Poor guy—such a heavy burden to bear.
Rolls Royce Wraith
It’s a Wraith, no it’s a Phantom—actually, it doesn’t matter. DJ Khaled is an all-inclusive Rolls Royce enthusiast. A video on YouTube has Khaled rapping in a starry-roofed Wraith, but other sources say he owns a powder blue Phantom. Either way, DJ Khaled has driven his fair share of Rolls Royce vehicles, and you can be pretty sure there are more in his future. What he owns or doesn’t own is merely a technicality. When you’re given the keys to Rolls Royce’s kingdom, you just shut up, drive and enjoy.
Bentley Mulsanne and Bugatti Dreams
Being the president of a label like Def Jam and a producer of hip-hop and rap music means you are going to encounter a lot of nice rides. DJ Khaled’s Instragram feed reads like a fairy tale. There are visions of Bentley Mulsanne’s and multiple Bugattis. Some are for videos and others are probably in his garage(s). You may never know exactly what DJ Khaled owns, but you can rest assured that he has driven the world’s hottest cars.
As Khaled’s career continues to explode, keep an eye on his growing collection. Rumor has it he already has a new red Range Rover and has his eye on several other rides. They say money may not buy happiness, but it’s better to cry in a really fly ride.
