Supercar brands are not simply sold for money, they fanatically maintain their exclusive image and often 'punish' even world stars who do not respect the unwritten rules.
Bugatti's 'blacklist'
Tom Cruise
Since the premiere of Mission: Impossible III in 2006, Tom Cruise has been unwanted by Bugatti. The famous actor appeared in a new Bugatti Veyron, but failed to open the passenger door in front of the cameras on the red carpet: a moment that went viral and damaged the brand's image. Since that day, Cruise has been unable to buy new Bugatti models.
Ferrari's 'blacklist'
Ferrari is the most strict brand when it comes to its owners. Models like the LaFerrari, Monza or Daytona SP3 are only sold to select customers and any violation is punished immediately.
Justin Bieber - banned after painting his Ferrari 458 electric blue and putting it up for auction.
Floyd Mayweather - penalized for frequent buying and selling, as Ferrari does not like quick trading of its cars.
Tyga - the rapper was kicked out due to late payments and unapproved modifications.
50 Cent - according to rumors, Ferrari no longer sells them due to the modifications of the cars and their use in a way that damages the image of luxury.
Ferrari's unwritten rules
It is not allowed to modify the car in strange ways.
You shouldn't sell it too soon after buying it.
You shouldn't use it for a 'publicity stunt' that damages the brand's image.
Ferrari and Bugatti make it clear: money is not enough to be part of their automotive elite, respect for image is above all.
