Beyonce Bought Jay-Z $2 Million Sports Car


Beyonce Knowles gave husband Jay-Z a speedy treat for his birthday last week - the singer reportedly bought him a $2 million sports car. The hip-hop mogul turned 41 on December 4 and the "Halo" hitmaker treated her beau to a Bugatti Veyron to mark the occasion.
Beyonce reportedly had to wait a full year after ordering the Grand Sport edition because of the attention to detail carmakers spend on the vehicle, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper. The Veyron can reach 255 miles-per-hour (410 kilometres-per-hour) and accelerates from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

But the expensive gift won't have made much of a dent in the "Crazy In Love" hitmaker's bank account - Forbes magazine estimates the superstar, who wed Jay-Z in 2008, earned a total of $89 million in the 12 months to November 2010.
