If you have $300 million in assets but still own a 25-year-old truck.
The celebrity world is not covered by us often and we have good reasons for this. Except for a few rare exceptions, most famous and wealthy people don’t have the same taste in cars as us. Kanye West is the best example that we can find to prove this. Let’s not forget about the exceptions.
After playing the role of Ally, a struggling singer, in Bradley Cooper’s romantic musical drama A Star Is Born, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanyotta (or Lady Gaga) is back in the spotlight. Her nominations for Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress were all based on the movie. The film also produced the Shallow single that reached number one in U.S. charts. She’s simply killing it now.
The success of Lady Gaga is obviously a huge financial gain. It is more precise that Lady Gaga has an estimated net worth around $300 million. This means, The Drive states, she could buy any car in the world. She is, however, not following the supercar hype and instead driving a 1993 Ford SVT Lightning daily. Lady Gaga regularly posts photos of her red pickup truck on Instagram.
An example of the model in good shape costs between $15,000 to $20,000. This is according to a quick search on several online platforms that sell used cars. There are still a few SVT Lightnings in excellent condition from the original generation. The most expensive one we found is , which sells for nearly $40,000.
Although we don’t know what Lady Gaga paid for the V8 pickup, we believe it will increase several times if she sells it. We know one thing for sure: this truck is one lucky one. Its price will never go down and it will be treated as a star forever.
