Tom Cruise Banned from Bugattis

While celebrities and luxury cars often go hand-in-hand, Tom Cruise has a surprising black mark on his record: a permanent ban from buying Bugattis.

Bugatti Ownership: Not Just for the Rich

Bugatti ownership isn't just about the hefty price tag (ranging from $3 million to $12.5 million). It also requires commitment:

Steep Maintenance Costs: Bugatti owners spend a cool $21,000 annually on maintenance.

Frequent Tire Changes: Tires need replacing every 10,000 miles.

Tom Cruise's Ban: Not About Money

Despite his wealth, Cruise can't buy a new Bugatti due to a seemingly trivial incident in 2006:

A Doorway Debacle: At the Mission Impossible 3 premiere, Cruise struggled to open the passenger door of his Bugatti Veyron.

Moment of Embarrassment: This minor fumble was deemed damaging enough for Bugatti to permanently blacklist him.

Cruise Isn't Alone:

Other celebrities share Cruise's fate:

Floyd Mayweather, Flo Rida, Simon Cowell, Jenson Button: All banned from Bugattis for various reasons.

Cruise Still Has a Fleet

While no new Bugattis are in his future, Cruise's garage boasts other impressive cars:

BMWs, Chevrolets, Mustangs: Cruise has a diverse collection of luxury vehicles.

The Infamous Veyron: Cruise presumably still owns his original Bugatti Veyron.

The Takeaway

Bugatti ownership comes with a price tag and a set of expectations. Tom Cruise's story is a reminder that even for the rich and famous, a minor misstep can have lasting consequences.
