Conan O’Brien
If you want to buy the new Ford Taurus SHO base model, you will have to pay $42,000 for it. However, Conan O’Brien spent a lot less than that on it. His favorite car in his collection is none other than a 1992 model of the car that comes with lots of scratches and a manual transmission. It even has a retro ‘80s-style phone on the dash! In an episode of his show, he talked about the raggedy car with an insurance expert. The talk show host said that it was probably worth more money since Brad Pitt used to drive it.
Jim Walton
Considering how successful Walmart has since become, we are not shocked to hear that Jim Walton is now worth $40 billion. He is the youngest son of Sam Walton, the founder of the grocery store chain. He has enjoyed a blessed life, but this has not impaired his decision-making skills when picking a car. As of 2007, he had been driving his $27,000 Dodge Dakota for more than 15 years. It was quite shocking since he earned the 23rd spot on the Forbes Billionaire List. NBC reported that his dad taught the Walton kids to be practical when it comes to their purchases.
