Jay Leno Owns 286 Vehicles Estimated at $50 Million

Almost everyone in the US has heard of Jay Leno. He is a comedian, actor, and legendary host of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Did you know that he is also one of the most well-known car collectors on the planet? 

Most collectors simply carve out some space in their garage for an extra project or two, but Leno’s collection is so large that he had to build a custom garage that’s bigger than most people’s homes to hold all of his vehicles.

286 Vehicles

Leno also is a famously avid car collector, owning over 200 automobiles that together have an estimated value of more than $50 million,” reports Bankrate.com

Money Inc. states that “of the 286 vehicles that Leno owns, 169 are cars and the rest are motorcycles. He’s become such an esteemed car aficionado that Jay Leno has his own Popular Mechanics and Sunday Times columns. When the developers of the hit video game L.A. Noire needed to do some research into late 1940s cars, they didn’t hit the internet — they went to Jay Leno’s garage, which is full of them. As he owns a large number of antique and vintage automobiles Leno’s collection is quite pricey, and some of the cars are worth over $1 million”.

He has a website and a TV program called Jay Leno’s Garage, which contains video clips and photos of his car collection in detail, as well as other vehicles of interest to him.

Columns
