Buying a new car is one milestone that not many can say they’ve achieved. That’s why it’s even more impressive when teens and twentysomethings manage to acquire their first vehicle all by themselves.
Gen Z celebrities, for example, burn the candle at both ends and keep a tight grip on their earnings just to save up for their dream ride. Fortunately, some of them can now say that their efforts have finally paid off! Ahead, we round up eight young stars who decided to invest in their first car in their teens and 20s.
8 Gen Z Celebrities Who Have Already Invested In Their Own Car
1. Gabbi Garcia
Years after receiving a taping van for her 18th birthday, Gabbi Garcia decided to buy another vehicle using her own savings. Although she initially considered buying a Lexus UX and a Forester, she ultimately went for the Subaru XV1 due to its sophisticated build.
2. Angelina Cruz
Just last month, Angelina Cruz gifted herself a Mazda3 for her 22nd birthday. Valued at over P1.5 million, the sleek vehicle was certainly the perfect birthday gift for a young adult!
3. Jillian Ward
GMA actress Jillian Ward went viral on social media when she got a brand new BMW in 2021. The best part: She was only 16 years old at the time, making her one of the youngest celebrity car owners in the country! Months later, she also shared photos of her new Porsche. 
4. Barbie Forteza
A daughter of a former tricycle driver, Barbie Forteza was extremely proud of herself for buying her own car in 2021. She flaunted her new ride on Instagram with the caption, “I think I’ve found the best gift for my dad since he always drives me to work.”
5. Bella Racelis
Bella Racelis is another Gen Z personality who bought a vehicle in her teens. Since the student influencer regularly goes back and forth from Batangas to Manila, she deemed the van as a necessary investment.
6. Mavy Legaspi
