Vin Diesel is one of the most popular actors in Hollywood thanks to the Fast and Furious franchise. The actor started his career during the '90s and achieved some roles in famous movies like Saving Private Ryan and the Iron Giant. However, until his career took off, the actor had to have side jobs like working as a bouncer for a nightclub.
His persistence was worth it. Vin Diesel has a fortune estimated at $200,000,000. The actor is one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood and he has enough money to have the best life money can afford — and he does. Keep scrolling to discover how Vin Diesel spends his millions.
Hollywood Hills Home - $562,500
What would be the first thing you would buy when you had some money? For many people, the answer would be a house and Vin Diesel would agree. The first expensive purchase the actor did was this house in Hollywood Hills in 2000, and he paid $562,500 for it. The house looks good but is far away from being lavish as the other properties he purchased. It has Mexican tile accents, dining area outdoors, and a great swimming pool.
Diesel rented the place for $5,800 per month, and he put it back on the market for $1,400,000. It sounds like a considerable profit if compared to the price the actor paid almost two decades ago.
Trailer - $1,100,000
Back in 2012, when he was shooting Fast and Furious, Vin Diesel welcomed a television staff to his home away from home: a trailer with two floors evaluated at $1,100,000, almost the same price as he was trying to sell his former home. The actor travels the world with it when he has to work abroad, like when he had to ship it to Puerto Rico. It is a luxury most actors can't afford.
It is easy to understand why since the trailer looks better than a luxury hotel. Vin Diesel invested $70,000 on technology, and the vehicle features 3D flat-screen televisions, among other things.
Classic Car Collection
Vin Diesel is not a random choice for his role in Fast and Furious. The actor has a passion for cars and has several models in his garage. Diesel likes to invest part of his fortune on classic vintage models like the 1974 Plymouth Barracuda, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 F-Bomb, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville, a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette StingRay Grand Sport.
Are you Impressed? His collection also includes modern cars that could easily appear in his movies. We didn't expect less from the Fast and Furious main star.
Private Jet
We all love to spoil our children sometimes, but when you are a wealthy Hollywood star, you can take it to a whole new level. In 2015 Vin Diesel decided to take his son to watch his first basketball game, Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies. It looks like a great moment between father and son! But Diesel is not only picky when it comes to cars.
The actor decided to make it memorable, and they traveled in a private jet to California. He shared a video of their journey on social media. The boy seemed to be having a blast, and he will probably never forget that night. Of course, Vin Diesel is often spotted traveling on private jets.
Rights To xXx Franchise
Many people don't know, but Vin Diesel has a production company called One Race Films. He bought the xXx franchise that gives him the right to produce the upcoming movies. Revolution production, the studio that had the rights before, still owns the first three movies. There is no information about how much Vin Diesel paid for it, but it wasn't a cheap investment.
The first movies have grossed impressive $600,000,000 around the world. Unsurprisingly, Vin Diesel will have a leading role in the next film, and D.J. Caruso will be still the director.
Vacation
Vin Diesel works a lot! At least once a year, we see his face on a blockbuster, and he does deserve some time off. The actor doesn't share much information about his vacation on social media, and paparazzi just saw him on vacation a few times. That makes us wonder what he might invest part of his fortune in exclusive private holidays.
One of the rare times we saw him traveling with his family was in 2012 when he was in the Canary Islands. He seemed to have fun by teaching his daughter to do push-ups at the beach. Those moments on life are priceless.
Party On A Yacht
Back in 2016, Vin Diesel posted some images of he and a friend partying on a yacht in Miami. It seemed like they had a great day, and according to Page Six, during the night, he and his friend went to a club where he danced reggaeton, and they were drinking Dom Perignon. The actor has a reputation for being very difficult to deal with, but it does sound like a lot of fun to be Vin Diesel's friend.
As we mentioned, Diesel is often spotted on parties and clubs, and being part of his personal circle sounds like a guarantee of having great fun.
Atlanta House - $3,300,000
In 2014 Vin Diesel bought a mansion in Atlanta for $3,300,000. Before the purchase, the property was also available for rental for astronomical $30,000 a month. The 11,000 square-foot house seems to be worth it. It has seven bedrooms,.nine bathrooms, a gym, a master suite with two terraces, a spa, a wine cellar, a rooftop deck, and a fully equipped guest house. Perfect for receiving his friends and also hosting parties.
It looks like a perfect place to rest after spending a day shooting an action movie. To be honest, it sounds like a place you would not want to leave.
Fancy Restaurants
Vin Diesel probably has a very strict diet and working out routine to keep his body. However, it doesn't mean he can't enjoy great meals. The actor is often spotted on fancy restaurants, like in 2014, when he went to the exclusive Nobu Berkeley in London, while promoting a movie. The porch place has restaurants all over the world, and they are famous for the select menu options.
However, Vin Diesel doesn't go only to super expensive restaurants. In 2018, he made the headlines on Hartford's news when some clients noticed the famous actor eating at the Puebla's Kitchen.
After-Party Event
Vin Diesel might be over 50 years old, but he still loves to party. This year he attended the Nina Dobrev Coachella-themed birthday party. The actress turned 30, and both seem to have a lot of fun. For Diesel, it was not enough, and he organized a crazy after-party event in his home. The Vampire Diaries' star said her second party just finished at 5:30 am.
Although people were curious to know more details, the star didn't tell much about it. But the pictures released of the first party seemed really fun.
