James Cameron’s films have raked in over $6 billion worldwide, so it’s safe to say he could afford the most extravagant car on the market if he wanted to. Surprisingly, the “Titanic” director owns a futuristic, alien-like Mercedes Benz model that might just outshine any luxury vehicle you’ve ever seen. However, back in the day, his ride of choice was a 1991 Callaway Speedster. This rare car was listed for sale in 2019 with a hefty price tag of $300,000—quite the jump from its original purchase price of $185,525 in 1991. That same year, Cameron made a return to the “Terminator” franchise with the release of “Terminator: Dark Fate.”
