NBA legend Dwyane Wade’s car collection includes $270,000 Ferrari and Ford Bronco, gifted to him by movie star wife Gabrielle Union

NBA legend Dwyane Wade went from working at a car wash as a summer job to owning an insane collection of vehicles.

The Miami Heat icon spent his first big NBA salary on a custom electric blue Escalade, which included 26-inch rims and spinners.

And Wade’s love for luxury cars is such that at one point he had more than a dozen vehicles in his garage.

Wade’s car collection included a Mercedes Maybach that cost more than $6,000 a month, as well as several McLarens, Ferraris and Porsches.

The three-time NBA champion has clearly come a long way since working at a car wash in Illinois to earn extra money in the summer.

“One of my jobs in high school, I was a loader for a Bob Watson car company,” Wade told CNBC.

“So I would be the guy that when someone comes in and buys a car, I have to wash it, I have to make it look nice for them.

“When you walk past a parking lot, you see all these cars parked neatly. I had to be the one to put those cars in that little space.”

Wade didn’t have a financial advisor when he joined the NBA and used his career earnings of $190 million to live a lavish lifestyle.

But the NBA legend says the best financial advice he ever received was to “get rid of about 16 cars” he owned, for Men’s health.

Wade whittled his collection down to just “a modest Audi Q8”, but has since expanded his garage – and with some style.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet

Wade’s most famous car is undoubtedly his Porsche 911 Cabriolet.

He and his former Heat teammate LeBron James had matching Porsche 911s, which were nicknamed the Batman and Robin cars.

“Some1 please dial 911… Me and @kingjames call this our Batman and Robin [cars],” Wade captioned the image.

Wade is a huge Porsche fan – he also owned a Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

Earlier this month, Wade showed off his $198,500 Porsche 911 Turbo on social media.

“It’s Porsche, not Pors,” Wade captioned the image.

Mercedes Maybach S 580

In 2022, Wade treated himself to a brand new Mercedes-Maybach S 580 for his 40th birthday.

The car was customized by Omar McGee, owner of Posh Luxury Imports.

“When @dwyanewade called and requested a rare Maybach purchase with Sienna ‘basketball’ interior and told me no one could find it, my response was ‘I got you!’ with results in 24 hours”, McGee wrote.

“Happy birthday to one of the best to ever play the game! It was an honor.”

The Mercedes-Maybach sells for around $225,000.

1974 Ford Bronco

In 2020, Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, surprised the NBA star with a 1974 Ford Bronco for Father’s Day.

Wade shared a clip of his new car and wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to Meeeeee!!!!

“I mentioned years ago that when I moved to Los Angeles I would love a Bronco!!

“Well, the wife was listening. Thanks @gabunion you did it!!!!!

The heavily modified SUV has a creamy white exterior and a burnt orange interior.

1988 Mercedes-Benz SL

Wade’s Hollywood actress wife followed up on the Ford Bronco by buying the NBA star a 1988 Mercedes-Benz SL for his 39th birthday in 2021.

The vintage convertible has a white exterior and a light brown leather interior.

Shortly after receiving the car, Wade took his daughter Zaya out for a “father-daughter date.”

Wade said Union “raised the bar” with the birthday gift.

“Damn, okay,” he said in the clip before dancing alongside the vehicle.

“Damn, baby, that’s cool!”

Ferrari GTC4Lusso

In 2017, Wade taught his son Zaire, then 15, how to drive a $270,000 Ferrari GTC4Lusso.

Zaire can be seen on Wade’s Snapchat, sitting in the driver’s seat of the bright red luxury sports car.

“I’m a little nervous,” Zaire said.

“A little nervous, but it’s okay,” his father replied.

“You understand. Who wouldn’t be nervous? You see what he’s driving.”

Wade also has a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta in his collection.

Hummer H2 SUT

In addition to a fleet of supercars, Wade also owns a Hummer H2 SUT.

Wade displayed his Hummer at the Third Annual General Motors All-Car Showdown at Paramount Studios in 2006.

The sport utility truck can cost up to US$160,000.

Among Wade’s other cars are three McLarens – the MP4-12C, a 570S and a 720S Spider – a 2017 Jaguar XE, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Maserati Ghibli.

It is unclear how many of these cars he currently owns.
