In the publication, she discussed love, heartbreak, and domestic abuse at the hands of her ex-husband. When it comes to her daily commute, Fields has been seen out and about in a 2013 Lexus SUV. She recently joined the cast of a new HBO series set around the Los Angeles Lakers during the ’80s.

Jamie Lee Curtis – $33.4K, Honda FCX Clarity

The move signaled a step away from traditional diesel and gas-powered vehicles in favor of more environmentally friendly and renewable power sources. Equipped with a 100KW powerplant, the electric vehicle was powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

When Jamie Lee Curtis got delivery of her FCX Clarity, the True Lies actress was one of the first people to adopt the electric vehicle trend, followed by celebrities like Ron Yerxa, Laura Harris, and Jon Spallino. Curtis recently joined the cast of Lionsgate’s Borderlands as Dr. Tannis, alongside fellow co-stars Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart.

With a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 416hp, this is one beast of a truck. Keaton is regularly spotted cruising around the streets of Hollywood in her $100K SUV, at times sporting her signature top hat. According to multiple reports, Keaton’s daughter, Dexter, got married last week to fiancé Jordan White in a super-secret ceremony in Laguna Beach, California.

Chase feels the need for speed, and he is known to have owned a Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG edition.

For over a decade, Freeman has been a big believer in green energy when it comes to transportation. He was one of the first adopters of electric vehicle technology when he bought his first Tesla Model S sometime around 2012.

Freeman was apparently so impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the vehicle, he funded a start-up limo service that exclusively ran Tesla models. Today, Freeman is an investor in the Tesla company’s stock and a staunch supporter of its CEO, Elon Musk.

Richard Gere – $93K, Audi RS6 Avant
