Expensive luxury cars have always been a status symbol for celebrities — the more expensive and exclusive the car, the more clout it represents. The latest vehicle to signify this is the Tesla Cybertruck, which is particularly popular with athletes who want to show off when arriving to the arena or stadium.

The electric vehicle allows stars to feel like they’re doing something good, while also flaunting the fact that they’re special enough to get one of the coveted purchases. If you’d like to join your favorite celebs in this trend, a Cybertruck will run you somewhere between $79,990 to $99,990. But in case you don’t have $100,000 lying around, relax and live vicariously through our fun roundup of the Black stars who own Tesla Cybertrucks.
Shaquille O’Neal
Obviously Shaq had to get the already huge Cybertruck specially made to fit his legendary 7’1 frame. He had the truck tricked out with a blacked-out design and 26-inch rims. Even Elon Musk chimed in with his stamp of approval.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z
No one is surprised to find out the power couple owns an exclusive, expensive vehicle. They’ve gone with a classic contrast of matte black exterior and white interior. The real question is do they actually drive? Has anyone ever seen them driving a car?
Pharrell WIlliams
If anyone is going to have a futuristic, spaceship looking car, it’s Pharrell. We really need to know if there’s a LEGO version of his huge 800 horsepower, 19-inch Cybertruck in his new animated biopic “Piece by Piece.”
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian
The couple’s tricked out truck has already become an essential part of their lives, even earning the nickname “Cerberus.”
Lamelo Ball
If you’re a star athlete with millions in the bank, of course you’re going to drop some of it on the car that everyone’s talking about. It’s in the young, rich and famous handbook. He had his latest luxury vehicle adorned with his logos “LF” and “RARE.”
Spike Lee
To be honest, we’re kind of shocked that Spike’s Cybertruck isn’t decked out in orange and blue New York Knicks colors.
Rick Ross
If any celeb is going to make sure they have a Cybertruck, it’s Rick Ross. The car aficionado has several high-end vehicles, so this one will fit right in with his Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class W223, a few Rolls-Royces several BMWs, Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but also several classics such as a Mercury Monterey and private jet.
Big Sean
With fans desperate for new music, let’s hope he’s using his time riding around in this over the top vehicle to write new rhymes. With “ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel,” he won’t have to worry about any dings while it’s in self driving mode.
Kevin Durant
It’s no surprise that Kevin Durant went with the simple, yet classic, matte black for his truck.
Trae Young
Considering how flashy Trae Young is on the court, it’s not surprising that he chose to get his Cybertruck in a custom ice blue, so he can call it “the Snowmobile.”
Anthony Edwards
If you’re going to make waves and show up with confidence in your first NBA Finals, a Cybertruck is certainly one way to get people talking. We wonder if one day he’ll need the 7,700 pounds capacity to carry championship trophy.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Is it just us, or does the gloss black make these trucks look even more futuristic?
Stefon Diggs
Like most wide receivers, Stefon Diggs has never been known for his humility, so we expect him to have a flashy car.
DJ Envy
DJ Envy referred to his Gloss Black model as “Knight Rider,” and we have to admit, it does look a little like K.I.T.T.
