Check out Tom Hanks’ Updated 2023 Car Collection
Tom Hanks is the fourth highest-grossing actor of all time, with a profit of almost $10 billion, and he has a net worth of over $400 million. Tom Hanks spends his money very wisely. He invests his money in real estate and donates to charities, among other things. Besides that, he has also bought cars with some of that money, but not as many as you might assume.
For Tom Hanks, the main purpose of buying cars is to get from one place to another, and this is clearly reflected in his collection. At one point in his life, he had around eight cars, but since then, he ended up selling four of his cars at auction. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at Tom Hanks' updated 2023 car collection.

7. Chevrolet Tahoe
The first car on this list is the Chevrolet Tahoe. The Tahoe was a full-size SUV that was released by General Motors in the early 1990s, and it is a car that was quite popular among actors during that time. Tom Hanks has a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe in its base trim.
The estimated value of a second-generation Chevrolet Tahoe is $4,500 in the used market while the starting price back then was around $46,300. The actor was also spotted in an early-generation Tahoe where he was stopped by the police.

6. Toyota RAV4 EV
Tom Hanks is one of the few owners of the rare Toyota RAV4 EV, which was sold from 1997 to 2003. Tom Hanks has the 2003 model of the RAV4 EV. According to Hanks, the RAV4 EV is one of his favorite cars because it has room for his family (including a dog in the back), and it also comes with what Tom described as the "fastest, most effective windshield defroster known to mankind."
A total of 1500 RAV4 EVs were built, but a majority of them were destroyed after they got done with their leases, and only roughly 328 were sold after their leases. The estimated value of a 2003 Toyota RAV4 EV is around $5,000 in the used car market but came at a starting price of $42,000 before grants & tax credits.

5. Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius is another green car that is part of Tom Hanks' car collection, which isn’t surprising to anyone because his contributions to environmental causes are well-known and well-documented.
And because of that, paparazzi are more likely to see Hanks driving a Toyota Prius around Los Angeles than a Bentley or another fast car. The estimated value of a 2004 Toyota Prius is $6,500 in today's market but the starting price back then was around $20,295.

3. Fiat 126p
The next car on this list is the 1974 Fiat 126p. The story of how Tom Hanks got his hands on one of these is quite interesting. During a trip to Hungary in 2016, Hanks came across this car on the street, and as a joke, he ended up taking pictures with it and posting them on social media. A huge Tom Hanks fan named Monika Jaskólska spotted the tweets and set out to purchase one for him.
Jaskólska eventually succeeded in obtaining enough cash with the help of business sponsors to not only restore a 126p but also create a unique interior for it. Before being delivered to Hanks in Los Angeles via cargo jet, the custom Fiat 126p was unveiled in Poland just in time for his birthday in 2017. Hanks ended up selling the car at an auction, with all of the proceeds going to a charity called Hidden Heroes.

He ended up getting $83,500 for his 1974 Fiat 126p. The 1974 Fiat 126p is powered by a naturally aspirated 594 cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 23 hp and 29 lb-ft of torque. The car can go from 0-60 MPH in 51 seconds and reach a top speed of 65 MPH, which makes it the slowest car in Tom Hanks’ collection.
2. Ford F-450 Super Duty Lariat
Tom Hanks got the 2011 Ford F-450 Super Duty Lariat pickup truck to tow his Airstream trailer. This was one of the cars that he ended up selling at an auction. Hanks sold the 2011 Ford F-450 Super Duty Lariat at the Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction for $84,000.
At the time of the auction, the 2011 Ford F-450 had less than 5,000 miles on it, which means that it's obvious that because of his busy film schedule, he wasn’t able to use it. The 2011 F-450 Lariat had a starting price of $58,090.
