His wealth makes him one of the money-no-object customers that luxury carmakers want to woo, yet his daily driver is a relatively practical [Cadillac CT5-V](). Zuckerberg revealed his car after posting a video highlighting the new Ray-Ban Meta glasses [on his personal Instagram account](). While the short video doesn't show his car, he replied "mostly Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing these days but sometimes other things" to a comment from Hoonigan OG [Brian Scotto]() asking about what he drives. He omitted a crucial detail: is his Blackwing fitted with the six-speed stick or the optional 10-speed automatic? Either way, a CT5-V Blackwing is an interesting choice for a tech executive that you'd expect to see behind the wheel of a high-end EV. It's the last V8-powered American sport sedan now that [the last-generation Dodge Charger]() is [out of the picture](), and it's a middle finger to the trends sweeping across the automotive industry. As its rivals [downsize](), [electrify](), or both, Cadillac is happy to sell you a 6.2-liter V8-powered family car. With a base price of $97,000, the CT5-V Blackwing is also a surprisingly reasonable daily driver for someone with incredibly deep pockets. Not every mega-rich executive is as humble as Zuckerberg. ChatGPT founder Sam Altman, whose net worth is estimated at $2 billion, [was spotted]() driving [a Koenigsegg Regera]() finished in white with black wheels on the streets of Napa, California, earlier in 2024. The Swedish-built 1,500-horsepower hypercar carried a base price of about $2 million and was limited to 80 units; the production run sold out in less than a year. We're curious about the "other things" Zuckerberg mentioned in his Instagram reply. While he's been seen driving low-key cars over the past couple of years, including an Acura TSX he praised as being "safe, comfortable, and not ostentatious," he [reportedly owns]() a Pagani Huayra too. ## Author Ronan is a contributing writer for The Drive.
