This $650,000 Rolls-Royce was made just for the super rich and famous
Unless your last name is Kardashian, Clooney, or Swift, this article is about as close as you're going to get to the $650,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Limelight, designed specifically for the very rich and famous.
Only 25 Phantom Limelights will be produced, The Verge reports, in light and dark options. The company admits that the target audience isn't even the wealthy but the incredibly well-known, saying the model was "conceived for that select group of people who spend their lives in the public eye and on the world stage." D-list stars need not apply.
So, what does $650,000 get you? Each rear door has special compartments for jewelry, ties, watches, and whatever other fancy things celebrities own, as well as two sets of three handmade fragrance bottles designed in France. Why three? So you can change your fragrance during the morning, afternoon, and night, you plebeian. The leather back seats have a 27-degree incline, a foot rest that comes out of the floor, and a motorized calf rest. Passengers can also relax and reflect on just how much money they have under fiber optics that create a twinkling star pattern in the roof.
