Is there a figure in the world right now that is more divisive than Donald J. Trump? The notorious and successful Mr. Trump has made an incredible amount of money working in property investment finance as well as a host of other areas. Now Donald Trump is only a few months away from potentially being elected as the President of the United States. Trump is everything that shouldn’t be: loud, brash, emotional and vindictive. Having said that, however, the Trump Institute founder does have a collection of incredible rides. We pulled together 17 peaks into Trump’s luxury lifestyle that’ll be sure to get your mouth watering for his kind of money.
2011 Chevrolet Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car
Donald Trump is the kind of guy who wants the best thing that he can have and he’ll make sure that he gets it. For Trump buying the 2011 Chevy Camaro Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 was no big deal. In fact, Trump was actually supposed to open up the Indianapolis 500 by driving the vehicle. A host of bad press quickly had Trump back pedaling, instead insisting that he had scheduling conflicts and had to bail. We’re not saying that Trump took a cheap flight out of Dodge, but he definitely gout outta there quick.

Rollys Royce Phantom
You don’t get ahead in life by taking the cheap ticket to nowhere. Trump parlayed his family money and combined it with real estate investor loans to turn into a billionaire*. The Rollys-Royce Phantom is just another badge on the lapel that is Trump’s high end car collection. For once ni his life if Trump told you that he has ‘the best cars, believe me’ he might just be telling the truth. Of course, we wouldn’t be in a rush to take any of his online real estate training course offerings, that is.

1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.
You don’t need to be a car buff to take one look at this piece of metal and know that it is valuable. The 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud has been in Trumps possession for quite awhile. While some expensive vehicles end up looking pretty tacky on the road, this one does anything but. Trump and wife, Ivana from the looks of it, are ready to go out on an important ride to do…something. We’re not sure exactly what Trump does on a day to day basis. Oh well, apparently it is working out pretty well for the guy.

2003 Mercedes SLR McLaren.
The ’03 Mercedes SLR McLaren is one of the most popular sports cars in the world as well as a bonafide attention magnet. I there is one thing that Mr. Trump loves more than his money, it is attention. The SLR McLaren is just about as sporty as they come and it looks great on the road — everything Trump could want.

Trump Chopper.
Here we see a ‘Home Alone’ era Donald Trump posing in front of his admirable chopper. Composed, well dressed, and wealthy — this is the look that many Republican voters think of when they push Trump as a Presidential candidate. It’s hard to argue with them though we would add that at the time of this photo Twitter had not been invented.

Ivana’s Yacht.
When you’re married to one of the wealthiest men around you get to have your own treats. Though Ivana and Donald are no longer together, this yacht definitely still shows itself well. We’d take the Ivana out for a ride any day but we’d probably get security called on us before getting arrested. Oh well.

All Aboard.
We aren’t sure who looks the most awkward in this picture. On second thought, it doesn’t really matter. The combined wealth of the four people in this photo is enough to make us contemplate the concept of money and its place in society. At least money can’t buy fashion, c’mon Donald ditch the hat!

Trump Chopper 2.0.
If Paul Verhoeven ever decided to get back into the dark and gritty world of science fiction he would be wise to incorporate the Trump Chopper 2.0 in some fashion or other. This specially customized chopper looks like something the bad guys in RoboCop would fly around in.

Luxury Riding.
Take a look at the interior of this airplane. Does it kind of hurt to realize that Trump flies in better conditions than most people actually live? Well, hey at least the television looks like it is sort of too elevated, or something. We’re just kidding ourselves, this is a great place to chill.

The Private Jet.
Here’s a great look at Mr. Trump’s gorgeous private jet. The sleek design and minimalist aesthetic sort of stands against everything that Trump believes in: being the loudest, most well heard person in the entire room. While we may differ from Trump politically, he sure as heck knows how to pick his vehicles.

With the King of Pop.
Pretty much nothing about this picture would make sense today. Trump looks young, Michael Jackson is alive, and there appears to be a Middle Eastern passenger at the back of the plane. When Trump’s policy pretty much calls for the banning of folks who look like this passenger…well, let’s just say that this picture would be quite shocking to appear in today’s news cycle.

1968 Boeing 727.
When we fly we get stuck looking at crappy magazines that are filled with gaudy swimming pool designs. When Trump flies he gets to fly in style. Seriously, is that picture frame gold plated? Is that couch 12 feet long? Does any of this make any sense?

The Next President?
Here The Don is escorted out of his sleek Royale Limo by the security team that is so important to Trump’s day to day campaign activities. Is Trump starting to realize just how deep he is into this political game? Does he care? Will the Trump Family Icon manage to defy all odds and score the Presidency of the United States? We’re not sure about any of that, but the care sure is nice.

Absurd Wealth.
White jacket coats thrown over your shoulder are pretty much the signifier that you might be the bad guy. Seriously, watch any film from the ’80s and ’90s and you’ll see every ‘rich bad guy’ pull off this exact same pose and outfit. We’re not saying Trump is a bad guy but we are starting to hear that from people, great people. I don’t know, you tell me, is he a bad guy?
Absurd Wealth
The Infamous Pace Car.
Here we see Donald Trump flashing smiles next to the Pace Car we mentioned above. While Trump never got to drive it to open up the 100th Indianapolis 500, he certainly got to take it home. That’s the kind of smile that says, “No matter what happens, I’m still better than you.”
The Infamous Pace Car
The Infamous Jet.
Mr. Trump is the kind of guy that doesn’t need a hotel reservation made in advance. His hotel reservations simply appear by showing up and that is exactly what his infamous jet does for him. The 757 Boeing has become as much of an iconic vehicle as the polarizing Republican nominee himself.

Contemplating Tweeting.
Some people say that Donald Trump has small hands but we’re not sure about that. If so, those same hands have never stopped the business mogul from tweeting away scathing messages to his political opponents (and anyone else who has ever bad mouthed him). Here we see Mr. Trump chowing down on some McDonalds, allegedly delivered by Chris Christie, while no doubt trying to think up his latest hit piece on Twitter. The media waits with bated breath.
