Beyonce treats hubby Jay-Z to a $1.3 million sports car

Singing superstar Beyonce treated her husband of two-years, Jay-Z, to a Bugatti Veyron sports car for his birthday which was estimated to have set the singer back $1.3 million.

The rap star and music producer turned 41 at the beginning of the month and was presented with his impressive present by his wife who’d placed an order for the supercar a year ago to ensure it was ready in time for Jay-Z’s birthday.

The Bugatti Veyron broke the Guinness World land speed record to be named the fastest road car in the world, so it’s no wonder this sports car as a year long waiting list. In July the latest Bugatti Veyron achieved 267.81mph creating a new world record for a production car.

The Bugatti boasts 1.200bhp and can achieve 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds, and 0-189mph in just over 14 seconds. It’s not surprising it was named motoring show Top Gear’s Car of the Decade (2000-2009).

Jay-Z is in good company with his new ride as other celebrity names rumoured to own a Bugatti Veyron include Tom Cruise and Simon Cowell.

Despite the $1.3 million price tag, the purchase would have hardly put a dent in the couple’s bank balance as the US magazine Forbes estimated the couple had made $89 million over the last year.
