For most people, it may seem that having a particular car will symbolize your wealth to the extent that some people are willing to be in high debt so that they can live a lavish lifestyle. This is because the more expensive their car is, the higher their status, and the more successful they will be in the eye of society.

If we can see cars from Germany for instance, they produce some of the most luxurious cars in the world which indicates wealth and success. 

But to your surprise that some of these Billionaires who have more money than any of us could wish to not see having posh cars to be a symbol of success in their life. For them, it is merely a transport vehicle to get them from one place to another and no more than that.

Let us see some of the most famous billionaires and the type of cars that they drive every day to work.

1. Jack Ma

 

He is the richest man in China as of writing. He is the chairman of the biggest e-commerce company in Asia which is Alibaba. 

He is seen only driving a China-made car which is the Roewe RX5 SUV considering that he has a net worth of $37.3 Billion.

2. Jeff Bezos

He is currently the richest man on the planet. He owned nearly 12% of Amazon shares which made him worth $110 Billion as of writing. 

For your information, Jeff Bezos still drives made by Honda after 2 years since Amazon was floated in the stock exchange market of the United States of America. 

In the 60 minutes show which was recorded in 1999, Jeff Bezos was asked why he chose that particular car since he was able to afford a better car with his current wealth status at that time.
