Ferrari is a legendary name in the world of luxury cars. From its iconic red color to its powerful and revving engines, owning a Ferrari symbolizes sophistication and wealth - and for some, the forbidden fruit.

Unfortunately, some of Hollywood’s biggest stars have been blacklisted by Ferrari and cannot own one of these prestigious vehicles. Below we look into why these celebrities can not own a Ferrari, despite their success and fame.
The Rules Behind Owning a Ferrari
Owning a Ferrari is no easy feat. Even if you can afford it, they come with strict rules that all potential owners must abide by.
For starters, owners must have the ability to demonstrate that they are an individual of class and distinction. This means they must prove their commitment to the Ferrari brand through a history of owning other luxury vehicles, like Lamborghini or Mercedes-Benz.

On top of this, there is a waiting list for potential customers who wish to own a Ferrari. Each customer has to wait at least six months before being able to buy one. And there is no guarantee that even after that time frame, you will be granted permission. Therefore, celebrities often get blacklisted when trying to purchase one.
Blacklisted Hollywood Stars Who Can Not Own A Ferrari
Below are some of the most famous Hollywood stars who have been blacklisted by Ferrari and are not able to own one of these luxury vehicles:
50 Cent
The number one A-list celebrity who can not own a Ferrari is 50 Cent. The rapper made the mistake of publicly promoting a Ferrari in one of his music videos and was then banned by the Italian car maker.
Nonetheless, it is essential to note that it is not yet clear why the rapper has been blacklisted.
Justin Bieber
In 2013, the pop star attempted to purchase a Ferrari 458 Italia, only to be denied due to his young age and lack of experience with other luxury cars.
Chris Brown
The R&B singer was also denied when he attempted to buy a Ferrari in 2012. It is believed that he was rejected because of his history of reckless driving and legal troubles.

Lindsay Lohan
The troubled actress has had her fair share of legal issues, and as such, she too has been blacklisted from owning a Ferrari.
The Final Word
Ferrari is an iconic name in the world of luxury cars, but owning one can be a difficult process. Even famous celebrities are not exempt from these rules and have been blacklisted by Ferrari due to their age, lack of experience with other luxury cars, or previous legal issues.
So, while some stars may dream of owning a Ferrari one day, these blacklisted celebrities will never get that chance.
