Apparently, Ferrari has a 'blacklist' that includes some pretty big celebrity names.

Known for creating some of the world's finest cars, the Italian car maker has a list of individuals who, despite having the money, are forbidden from buying their exquisite vehicles.

There are various reasons why these celebrities might find themselves unable to purchase these cars.

A common issue is that they've modified their Ferraris without getting approval from the manufacturer.

Let’s take a look at some of the famous personalities who are not likely to be seen driving a new Ferrari any time soon...

Justin Bieber

The pop star previously owned a Ferrari 458 Italia F1 Edition and ended up on Ferrari's bad side by modifying the car without permission.

It's widely understood that Ferrari has about 15 crucial rules that owners are expected to follow, and not making unauthorized modifications ranks high on this list.

Reportedly, Bieber had his originally white car wrapped in electric blue by West Coast Customs.

He didn’t stop there; he also switched up the original wheels and altered the iconic prancing horse logo on the steering wheel, as noted by Carbuyer.

50 Cent

The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has also reportedly made it to Ferrari's blacklist.

In 2020, 50 Cent faced some car trouble when his Ferrari's battery died, requiring the vehicle to be towed.

He vented his frustration on Facebook by posting pictures of his luxury red car being towed and stating:

"I don’t want this 488 Ferrari no more, I think I'm a get a smart car."

Experience Ferrari highlights that maintaining the brand image is crucial, a rule 50 Cent clearly violated with his public complaint.

Kim Kardashian

Lately, the reality TV star turned business mogul has been spotted in a Tesla Cybertruck around Calabasas, but she is believed to be on Ferrari’s infamous blacklist.

Reports suggest that the Kardashians didn’t meet the carmaker's expectations for how their cars should be cared for.

Moreover, it's been rumored that Kardashian landed on the blacklist due to an incident in 2011.

She received a Ferrari as a wedding gift from a Malaysian businessman, who was later implicated in financial fraud, according to HotCars.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

When you buy a Ferrari, you are typically expected to keep it for at least a year before selling it.

Experience Ferrari points out that, for certain models, the company sets rules against reselling the car too soon after purchase.

However, Mayweather reportedly sold his luxury car just a few months after buying it, which resulted in his name being added to the manufacturer’s blacklist.
