Rowan Atkinson – $12.2 Million, McLaren F1

Rowan Atkinson is almost synonymous with the comedic character he popularized, Mr. Bean. However, unlike Mr. Bean, who rolls around in a green-colored Leyland Mini 1000, Atkinson loves his vehicles, and he once owned a McLaren F1. He got a cool $12.2 million from the sale.

Despite crashing the F1 twice, Atkinson still made an impressive $8 million profit, considering he bought the vehicle in 1997. Early in 2021, Atkinson vocalized his disapproval of the cancel culture (call-out culture,) which he likened to medieval mobs. He said that we should embrace wide spectrums of opinion.

Jerry Seinfeld – $700K, Porsche 959

Is This Anything? is the title of the collation of comedic writings Jerry Seinfeld released in 2020. His impressive Porsche collection would make a great subject for a follow-up publication. In 1999, Seinfeld bought a New York brownstone for $1 million and transformed the space into subterranean parking for his fleet.

One of his prized Porsches is the hyped 959 released in 1986. The automobile is street-legal, reaching a top speed of 197 miles per hour, and it also comes with a flat-six turbocharged engine. Seinfeld paid $700K for the vehicle, and his fleet also includes a 2000 Carrera GT Prototype and a 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder.

Dick Van Dyke – Approx. $70K, Jaguar XJ

Dick Van Dyke earned recognition on Broadway and later in his self-titled show. Van Dyke is currently working on the big-screen production Capture the Flag. In 2013, Van Dyke had a close shave when his Jaguar XJ went up in flames. 

He was driving on the Los Angeles freeway when “a little smoke” coming out of the engine bay turned into a raging fire, and a good samaritan pulled Van Dyke, who was 87 at the time, out of the burning vehicle. Van Dyke remained loyal to the brand, and he revealed on Access Hollywood that they sent him another Jaguar as a loan the next morning.
