The rumor that Ferrari banned Kim Kardashian from purchasing a new vehicle for life has been circulating for quite some time, gaining traction as it persists. Known as a “car girl,” Kardashian’s garage resembles a showroom with an array of luxury vehicles, including Bentley Continentals, Lamborghinis, Cybertrucks, Rolls-Royces, and Maybachs. She has expressed her love for driving and prefers to be behind the wheel rather than chauffeured around, especially with such opulent and high-performance cars at her disposal.
However, Kardashian’s relationship with Ferrari seems to have soured over the years, with her last known ownership of a Ferrari dating back to 2012. Interestingly, she didn’t purchase this Ferrari herself but claimed to have received it as a gift from a businessman in Malaysia, Jho Taek Low, who was later implicated in fraud and corruption scandals.
The saga continued when Kardashian was reportedly questioned by US authorities regarding her involvement in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd scam, which also implicated Jho Low. While the fate of Kardashian’s Ferrari remains uncertain, her name allegedly appeared on an unofficial blacklist of individuals banned by Ferrari from purchasing new vehicles. Other notable figures on this list reportedly included Floyd Mayweather, 50 Cent, and Justin Bieber, although Ferrari never officially confirmed this restriction.
However, Ferrari clarified its stance in 2022, stating that it does not prohibit any buyer from purchasing its standard production vehicles but reserves the right to decide on special editions with restricted production. While Kardashian may not have access to limited-edition Ferraris, she still has a wide selection of luxurious vehicles to choose from, including her Tesla Cybertruck, Maybachs, Rolls-Royces, and Lamborghinis.
Despite the controversy surrounding her car choices, Kardashian recently made headlines for driving her new Cybertruck to Starbucks, sparking speculation about staged advertisement tactics aimed at helping Starbucks recover from financial losses amid global boycott calls.
