Rumour has it Jay-Z and Beyoncé are proud new owners of the world's most expensive car

If there’s one celebrity power couple with the style and talent to commission their own custom Rolls Royce, it’s got to be Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Naturally, the duo is rumoured to have done just that, asking the luxury automobile manufacturer to design a Rolls to their exact specifications — built-in trunk champagne cooler included.

The car company revealed the new vehicle this week, along with its price tag: $28 million USD. (Please excuse us a minute while we do the math on how many overpriced condos that money could buy in Vancouver or Toronto.) 

Dubbed the Rolls Royce Boat Tail convertible, the baby blue drop-top features a “rear deck” (trunks are for civilians) with a champagne chilling mechanism, a picnic umbrella, and picnic furniture. The “double refrigerator houses the clients’ favorite vintages of Armand de Brignac,” which can be “rapidly cooled to precisely six degrees,” reads the Rolls’ sales description. As PageSix points out, Jay-Z was once the owner of a 50% stake in Armand de Brignac champagne.

“It’s thought,” said one auto industry insider speaking to UK paper The Telegraph, “[that] this fantastic car has been commissioned by Beyoncé and Jay-Z with all its detailing matching their favourite things.”

Rolls Royce describes their creation as a car “envisioned by extraordinary clients and realised by the master artisans of Coachbuild, this singular imagining honours the owners’ lifelong reverence for life at sea.”

The bespoke vehicle is meant, in fact, to evoke a boat itself. The design was based on “graceful J-class yachts and a 1932 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail the owners lovingly restored as part of their expansive collection.”

As documented by GQ, the couple’s car collection already includes rare automobiles like a 1957 Corvette C1, a Rolls Royce Phantom VIII, and a Latvian-built Dartz Prombron that buyers had the option of having upholstered in whale foreskins (actually).

In case you were concerned for Jay and Bey’s bank balance after this jaw-dropping splurge on another set of wheels, don’t be. Together, the pair are worth nearly $2 billion. With that kind of money, why WOULDN’T you get a convertible just for picnics?
