Jay Leno And His Million Dollar Car Collection
Who Is Jay Leno, Anyway?
Jay Leno, a prominent YouTuber, comedian, and former host of The Tonight Show, began buying cars in the 1980s. Today, he has about 450, some of which cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Man, The Legend
Apart from being a former TV show host, Jay Leno had his own CNBC show called Jay Leno’s Garage. Although it was canceled in 2023, he continues to talk about these beauties on his YouTube channel. Let’s see what all he’s got in his 14,000 sq. ft. garage.
1934 Ford V8
This was the first vehicle in Jay's collection. In 1934, Ford began marketing the Ford V8 as a cheap but powerful choice for the public. It was so affordable that Leno bought it for about $350 when he was only 15.

McLaren F1
Jay believes the F1 was one of the greatest automotive innovations of the 20th century. Designed by Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens, this baby could reach a speed of 240.1mph. He bought the car in the 2000s for $800,000.
Lamborghini Miura
Legendary singer Dean Martin initially owned this car. After it broke down, it was sold to another person for peanuts and eventually landed in Leno's garage. The Lamborghini Miura featured a transverse V12 engine and a low-slung profile that became the benchmark for future sports cars.
