For celebrities who have a fancy car collection, it is safe to assume that they know how to drive. However, reports and numerous celebrity interviews suggest that not all know how to go, and not all possess a driver's license. For example, Cardi B admitted that she has five fancy luxury cars and only bought them to flaunt them on her social media accounts since she cannot drive. It seems ridiculous, but this seems ordinary for people who have so much money and wealth.
The list below is some of the celebrities who admitted that they do not know how to drive and do not have a driver's license. Yet, these celebrities can afford to have someone drive them around, and a driver's license seems to be the least of their problems. Take a peek at the list below.
11 Kate Beckinsale
The English actress and model Kate Beckinsale owns numerous luxury cars; however she still does not have her driver's license. She may have acted behind the wheels innumerable times, but in real life, she does not sit in the driver's seat since she does not have her driver's license. She has been open about it in her interviews, stating that she did try passing the driving test however she seems to fail every time.
10 Ricky Gervais
Comedian and an actor Ricky Gervais has had opportunities traveling the world thanks to his job unfortunately for him, he has not been able to drive himself to any of those trips because he does not have a driver's license. Gervais was offered to host the show Top Gear before to replace Jeremy Clarkson, and as much as he loves to host the long-running show, he had to decline because hosting the show would be difficult for him since he does not drive.
9 Mariah Carey
Unsurprisingly, Mariah Carey, who is known for her diva behavior, is among the celebrities who do not have a driver's license. She has always been seen with a chauffeur in public and whenever she needs to go anywhere, she has to be chauffeured. Although she has a decent collection of cars, the All I Want For Christmas Is You singer does not plan to drive those cars. She has her driver to get around, and she's totally fine with that.
8 Robbie Williams
The former Take That member Robbie Williams has about five cars in his collection; unfortunately, he cannot drive those fancy cars on his own because he does not have a driver's license. As soon as he got famous and earned his wealth, he immediately bought fancy cars, including a Ferrari, a Mercedes, a Porsche and an Aston Martin. However, it seems like driving them is not on his priority list since he still does not have a driver's license even to this day. In 2020, Williams attempted to drive a golf cart and failed miserably by crashing the cart. "I never had driving lessons, I never passed the test," Williams defended in a video taken by his wife Ayda Field. She responded by telling Williams he was no longer allowed to drive golf carts.
7 J. K. Rowling
Famous author of the Harry Potter book series J. K. Rowling does not have a driver's license. She has joked about not having a license in interviews and on social media, and some fans even teased that she would rather be flying a broom like the characters in her iconic young adult series. The writer blames her lack of spacial awareness and difficulty with machinery for the choice of not taking the driver's test. Rowling has previously taken driving lessons, but decided it was in everyone's best interest if she stayed off the road.
6 Cardi B
Quirky rapper Cardi B has an impressive luxury car collection; however, she cannot take them for a spin since she does not have a driver's license. She is well known for flaunting her impressive fleet of cars through her Instagram account, where she has posted a Fiat 124 Spider, a customized Rolls-Royce, numerous Lamborghini, and a lot more. It is acceptable for her not to drive those as she has a driver to take her around. However, in her interview with James Corden, she has admitted that she plans to take some driving lessons and plans to get her driver's license soon.
5 Tana Mongeau

Tana Mongeau is a very controversial YouTuber. She has had a lot of scandals during her time in the public eye, but her diehard fans are still consistent with keeping her videos popular and relevant. Despite the internet fame, Mongeau never got around to getting a driver's license. She never even received a driving permit. The YouTuber has admitted to only being behind the wheel a handful of times and having no idea how to drive. Thankfully Lyft and Uber exist, and Mongeau has plenty of friends who can drive her around.
4 Tina Fey
American actress, comedian, writer, producer, and playwright Tina Fey has a lot of talents and things she is good at; unfortunately, driving is not one of them. She has confessed that she really does not have a driver's license, although it is not clear why she does not plan on getting one. Technically, it is realistic not to drive around since she is living in New York City where driving can be a little hassle. She would much rather get around by other means and avoid getting stuck in traffic. In addition, she can just pay someone to drive her around since she can afford to anyway.
3 Vincent Kartheiser
Vincdent Kartheiser was one of the stars of the hit show Mad Men, and was previously married to Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel for eight years before they separated in 2022. It is surprising that for someone who lives in Los Angeles they choose not to drive. While the actor admits that part of the choice is due to nerves about being behind the wheel, Kartheiser mostly chooses not to drive because of the environment. The Mad Men actor takes public transportation everywhere he goes in order to do his part in decreasing pollution.
2 Lena Dunham
American writer, director, actress, and producer Lena Dunham is among the celebrities who haven't gotten their driver's license yet. Some people just don't feel like getting their driver's license and some even think that there's really no point in getting one. That seems to be the case for Dunham as she has tweeted before admitting that she cannot drive, and it's gotten to the point from being cute to pathetic and tragic. At least the actress has the self-awareness that she is not the kind of person to be behind a wheel. She has accepted that she will be stranded for life.
1 Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand fell victim to the renewal process of having a driver's license. Though she has been driving all her life and renewing her license, she suddenly had to re-take the written and driving portions of the license test. The famous singer actually failed the driving test three times during the process. When she appeared on James Cordon's Carpool Karaoke, she told the story and even had some driving mishaps while filming the sing-along. Though talented in many ways, driving is certainly not one of her strong suits.
