Prime Minister Narendra Modi made news last December when he was spotted moving around in an expensive Mercedes Maybach S 650 Guard during the two-day visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to New Delhi.
The Maybach, reported to cost around INR 12 crore, is a top-of-the-line protected vehicle that is both bullet and blast-proof.
However, it's not just Modi who gets to ride in a Mercedes Maybach. The hefty price tag of the ultra-luxurious sedan doesn't seem to be a hurdle for our B-town celebrities.
"Top-end Mercedes-Benz products like the GLS Maybach luxury SUV, the Mercedes-Maybach luxury limousine, the S-Class luxury limousine, the GLS luxury SUV, the Iconic G 350 D, and the AMG G 63 SUVs are highly preferred by celebrities internationally and in India," said Santosh Iyer, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz India. "Our clientele comprises business icons, company CEOs and heads of states."
From Ranveer Singh to Kriti Sanon, here are seven Bollywood celebrities who own Maybachs.
Shahid Kapoor: Mercedes Maybach S580
Kapoor gifted himself a swanky Mercedes-Maybach S580 worth INR 2.79 crores on his 41st birthday on February 25. Celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani uploaded a video of Kapoor and his wife Mira taking the new car's delivery.
Ranveer Singh: Mercedes Maybach GLS 600
On his 36th birthday, on July 6, 2021, the "Padmaavat" star bought the Mercedes Maybach GLS 600, launched in India at INR 2.43 crore. With its impressive exterior design and its high-class interior appeal, the Maybach is a hell of a beauty.
Janhvi Kapoor: Mercedes Maybach S560
In October 2019, Jahnvi was cruising around in a Mercedes Maybach S560. Interestingly, the car has the same registration number as Janhvi's mother's (the late actress Sridevi) Mercedes Benz S Class. Both the vehicles have 7666 as the last four digits of the registration number.

Hrithik Roshan: Mercedes Maybach S 500
The Greek God of India is perhaps one of the earliest owners of the Mercedes Maybachs in India. His all-white Mercedes Maybach S 500 houses a powerful V-type petrol engine. It is available in Metallic Obsidian Black and Polar White colours. Though the sedan is no longer available in India, it once bore a Rs 1.8 crore price tag.
