He\u2019s just America\u2019s favorite financial guru, New York Times bestselling author, TV Show host, and nationally syndicated radio personality. The man has nearly one million followers on X (formerly Twitter), so when he talks, people listen. Last month, Mr. Ramsey made an X post that particularly reverberated in the automotive world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post implied that contrary to common perception, millionaires don&#8217;t drive flashy cars. Without going into details about where he got his data, Ramsey made a list of the top ten car brands driven by millionaires, and there was not a Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Lamborghini represented.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in upper-middle-class neighborhoods where parking lots are dotted with Teslas and Maseratis, you might find Ramsey\u2019s claims a bit too hard to swallow. That\u2019s a debate for another time. Today, we focus on determining if the cars on Ramsey\u2019s list are worth their prices.<\/p>\n<h2>Toyota<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1242687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1242687\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1242687 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='1280'%20height='720'%20viewBox='0%200%201280%20720'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"2024 Toyota Land Cruiser\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-150x84.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1242687\" src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser.jpg\" alt=\"2024 Toyota Land Cruiser\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toyota-land-cruiser-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1242687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Toyota.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first on Dave Ramsey&#8217;s list of top ten cars driven by millionaires is none other than the ubiquitous Toyota, easily the most popular automobile brand in the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbaskool.com\/business-lists\/top-brands\/17621-top-10-car-brands-in-the-world.html#:~:text=The%20list%20of%20top%20car%20brands%20in%20the%20world%20include,brands%20in%20the%20world%202023.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">MBASkool<\/a> placed Toyota second after Volkswagen in its ranking of the top car brands as of 2023.

Perhaps, they buy the Bimmer because they want the best in German engineering and technology.<\/p>\n<h2>Acura<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1260962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1260962\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1260962 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='1280'%20height='720'%20viewBox='0%200%201280%20720'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Acura RDX 2020\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-50x28.jpg 50w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1260962\" src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998.jpg\" alt=\"Acura RDX 2020\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/imresizer-1709929860998-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1260962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Acura.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the MDX is Acura&#8217;s bestselling model, it should be the favorite SUV of the rich and frugal.

The Century will reportedly cost around $170,000, making it a smart choice for the frugal rich.<\/p>\n<h2>Ford Mustang Dark Horse Premium<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1287054\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1287054\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1287054 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='1280'%20height='720'%20viewBox='0%200%201280%20720'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Ford Mustang Dark Horse Premium\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-50x28.jpg 50w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1287054\" src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559.jpg\" alt=\"Ford Mustang Dark Horse Premium\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/imresizer-1712247333559-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1287054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Ford.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ford is one of the brands on Dave Ramsey\u2019s list of cars millionaires prefer to drive, but he didn\u2019t say which model. That said, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ford.com\/cars\/mustang\/models\/dark-horse-premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">2024 Mustang Dark Horse<\/a> is a Ford we heartily recommend to rich gearheads.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by an updated 5.0-liter V8, the Dark Horse boasts 500 horsepower routed to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic or a 6-speed (our favorite) manual transmission. Buying one will make you $60,000 poorer, but the Dark Horse gives you a GT350 and GT500 in one package.
