BOSTON Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has a low-key car collection for one of the NBA’s most high-profile stars.
Tatum is in the middle of a five-year contract with the Celtics worth an eye-opening $163 million.

But he has turned his back on many of the trappings that come with being an NBA megastar.
“It was never about the money and the cars and being famous or that lifestyle,” Tatum told The Athletic.
“I truly love the game because I love basketball, not for all the things that come with it.
“There’s a lot of people that play the game and get caught up in the lifestyle and choose that over the game.”
Tatum recently revealed that he only spends his endorsement money, rather than his NBA salary.
“[My mom and I] had a deal before I got drafted that I couldn’t spend the money I make from the Celtics, that I have to live off my endorsements,” Tatum told Graham Bessinger.
“Her and my accountant agreed.”
Tatum has three exclusive cars in his $700,000 garage – a Rolls Royce, Mercedes and a classic Ford Mustang.
And he still takes great joy in buying snacks when he fills his cars up with gas.
“If we’re at a gas station, I always still buy my bag of chips because I used to dream about moments like these,” Tatum said.
ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH
Tatum has regularly shown off his white Rolls-Royce Wraith on social media.
He took great delight in the Spirit of Ecstasy on the front of the car retracting into the hood.

The Wraith is the quickest Rolls-Royce on the market and currently retails for around $350,000.
It can go 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph.
Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis also owns a Wraith.
MERCEDES-AMG G 63
The G Wagon is the ultimate status symbol for the rich and famous.
It is one of the finest – and most luxurious – SUVs on the market.
Regular G63s come with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine that makes 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque.
The 0-62 mph varies from 4.5 seconds to 6.4 seconds.
The car is on the market for around $150,000.
VINTAGE FORD MUSTANG
The NBA star celebrated his 23rd birthday in 2022 by getting a vintage Ford Mustang.
The customized car has the initials JT embossed on the rear end of the cabin.

Such is his move of the Mustang, that he released a pair of Jordan Brand sneakers that pays homage to the car.
The Air Jordan 14 PE has unique detailing that includes Mustang-inspired heel.
