There are probably dozens. Having a net worth of a million dollars isn't a big deal. Most millionaires live poorly. They drive old, cheap cars and are penny pinchers. They aren't rich. They have wealth, but aren't wealthy, nor would they be considered rich. No way Joe-Shmo penny pincher or small business owner or cardiologist is going to be on Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous.

Most people with wealth drive cheap cars or something slightly more proportional to their wealth. Half the doctors in my hospital drive luxury cars and the others drive economy cars. Regardless of the cost, as a proportion of their worth or income, the cars are cheap.

Some people who win the lottery are at best wealthy, but most are not even close to that. A few become rich. Those guys listed are odd for people who are that rich, but then again, those cars listed were definitely not their only vehicles. Also, those examples are all people who weren't born rich. @Sergeb96 is probably correct that most rich people, especially those that are born rich, would probably not drive those cars. And it is why @Jordanwolf said:

The exercise is to answer the question: if money was no object then what would be your top car to buy? Another way to propose the question that typically elicits the same answer is as follows: what car poster did you have in your room that was hanging next to your favorite girl poster, even if neither poster is actually ideal?
