Real Wheels: What the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Drive
Since 2010, fans of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) have captured fans with some truly memorable moments, like “The Dinner Party from Hell” or Crystal’s ugly leather pants from the 11th season.
We’re also positive no one could forget the time Lisa accused Dorit of letting her guests take drugs in her bathroom during the cast trip to Hong Kong in Season 7. Talk about awkward.
Being in Beverly Hills, though, it begs the question: what kind of cars do the cast members drive when the cameras aren’t rolling?
This story is 100% human-researched and written based on actual first-person knowledge, extensive experience, and expertise on the subject of cars and trucks. No AI was used.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kyle Richards – Lamborghini, Maserati
Kyle Richards loves a fast, beautiful car, she told viewers of Bravo TV’s short tour of her Lamborghini convertible.
“I don’t know what any of these buttons mean, and I don’t really care,” Richards said from the driver’s seat. “When I drive in this car, it seems like everyone stares so you don’t want to be picking your nose or something.”
While she admitted the Lambo was one of the fastest cars she’s ever driven, she doesn’t drive it fast. Instead, she enjoys a “smooth” ride through the congested Southern California town.
When not in the Italian supercar, she’s also been spotted in a Land Rover, Vanderall Speedster, and a Maserati convertible.
Erika Girardi – Lamborghini Huracán
Girardi, coming from the south, grew up around cars before appearing on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In a video similar to Richard’s Lambo tour, she’s quoted saying, “I like cars. I like to go fast. You know, I was raised in a car culture down south, so I love fast cars.”
She’s posted multiple photos of her Huracán – an easily over $200,000 supercar – on her Instagram before, with the caption, “Bring your car to work day.”
For daily driving, similar to Richards, she’s been spotting in a Range Rover SUV.

Dorit Kemsley – Rose Gold Bentley Continental GTC
In 2016, Dorit’s ultra-wealthy husband PK bought her a brand new Bentley Continental GTC convertible in a custom rose gold color. The retail price back then was $230,000, making it an extremely extravagant birthday gift. She’s also been seen cruising around in a McLaren.
“I tried to think of something reflective of Dorit’s personality, and I thought a rose gold Bentley was perfect,” said PK. Even the cameraman couldn’t refrain from commenting, “You’re the best husband ever.”
Kemsley wrote she was made speechless by her 40th birthday present. She cherished it so much, it took her a while to drive it.
“I was literally speechless when I came out to see such a luxurious present—I absolutely love the car. It was a grand gesture and totally unexpected,” she wrote. “I feel so blessed to receive this from my darling husband. The funny thing is, it was so special that I was quite scared to drive it!”
Garcelle Beauvais – Land Rover, Cadillac
Like Richards and Girardi, Garcelle Beauvais has a taste for British luxury. In many videos posted to her Instagram, she’s seen piloting a Range Rover SUV and being pictured in front of a lovely new Cadillac Escalade in between filming for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The Escalade is used to haul her two sons and dog, Kobe, in while driving around Beverly Hills.
In season 11, she was also spotted in Bentley Continental GTC – just not rose gold like Dorit’s.
Lisa Rinna – Tesla
Sutton is the first Real Housewife who doesn’t drive a Land Rover or a Lamborghini. Instead, she was excited to talk about her 2014 Tesla Model S P85. She admitted she had no idea what “P85” meant (it’s just a performance model, so staggered wheels and sporty suspension).
In her video tour of the car, she said her favorite feature was that it checked all the boxes. Comfortable, efficient, and technologically advanced.
“This computer does everything, I mean, you could probably even have sex with it, I don’t know,” she said.
Kathy Hilton – Land Rover, Rolls Royce
Kathy married into the Hilton family, increasing her net worth to about $350 million. Because of her incredibly wealthy husband Rick, she’s able to afford two incredibly posh British luxury cars, a Range Rover SV Autobiography, and a Rolls Royce Ghost.
The Range Rover SV Autobiography at the time had an MSRP of $157,600, making it one of the most expensive Land Rovers on the market. The Ghost, unsurprisingly, had a sticker price of $311,900.
Lisa Vanderpump – Porsche, Bentley, Rolls Royce
You likely remember the black Porsche with pink wheels she was driving around in season 6. Recently, Vanderpump took after Hilton and bought herself a Rolls Royce Ghost, and was spotted several times driving around in a Bentley Continental, too.
Her Ghost is more expensive than Hilton’s at $343,000, and the Bentley was a staggering $238,325.
Denise Richards – Ford, Mercedes
In November 2022, Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers, were driving their Ford F-150 Shelby truck when they were brutally attacked and shot in a road rage incident in LA. So safety is top of mind for Richards and her family.
Recently, though she was criticized for buying her daughter, Lola, a Mercedes after the teen’s Volkswagen was totaled. She said likes Mercedes-Benz because they’re “safe” and “like a sedan.” And we get that. They are.
Yolanda Hadid – GMC, Range Rover
Hadid’s Instagram is full of pictures of horses on her property, so it’s not at all surprising that she has a GMC Yukon Denali to help tow a horse trailer, feed, or other ranching supplies.
Also on her Instagram was a photo she posted of a river reflecting a beautiful sunset, with a Range Rover logo on the passenger’s side window. So, like so many others on this list, she too enjoys a jaunt in a luxurious British SUV.
Bozoma Saint John – Porsche
Currently the CMO of Netflix, Saint John shows off her exquisite taste with the purchase of a Porsche Panamera S. The current model of Panamera has a base MSRP of $102,800 and comes with 348 horsepower from a 2.9-liter V6.
Before being hired by Netflix, Saint John stayed busy with Uber as the chief branding officer, so a six-figure Porsche is easily affordable to the self-made businesswoman.
Crystal Minkoff – Audi, Mercedes-Benz
In October this year, Crystal and her husband Rob were sued by an LA woman after her Audi was rear-ended by a Mercedes-Benz Crystal’s brother, Jefferey, was driving. Even though Rob and Crystal weren’t in the car at the time, the Audi driver took the Minkoffs to court.
She’s currently suing over emotional distress, anxiety, and monetary loss from the accident. Jefferey reportedly exited the car and told the driver he was “distracted,” but didn’t admit to what diverted his attention. The suit is still in progress.
Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave – Lincoln, Tesla, Land Rover
In January, Teddi was spotted driving around town in a brand new Land Rover Range Rover Sport and has posted several promotional videos on her Instagram as a bliss partner in her Lincoln Navigator.
In the background of all those promotional videos, a white Tesla Model Y was spotted charging. The Range Rover Sport is the most lavish of the three, with a base price of $83,000 and a top price, the First Edition, at $121,500.
Adrienne Maloof – BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, Tesla
Maloof loves fancy cars as much as she loves her two dogs, Stormy and Jips. She’s not shy about posting pictures of them either, having posed with her Mercedes-Benz SUV, a Cadillac Escalade she uses for daily driving (including a photo of the trunk full of college supplies), and her German Shepherd enjoying her BMW.
Last year, she posted a video of her Tesla Model Y that she programmed to celebrate Christmas in her driveway. There was also a photo of a sports car with a burgundy interior, but we couldn’t make out what it was.
