Jimmy Lin Drives A $700K Sports Car To Buy Bubble Tea With His Kid
He loves his fast cars.
Former ’90s teen idol Jimmy Lin, 43, is known for many things: his age-defying good looks, his success in the IT industry, and his love for fast cars. The latter became a trending topic again when Jimmy posted a photo of himself on a bubble tea run with his son Kimi. For some reason, sharp-eyed netizens decided to zoom in on Jimmy’s sunglasses, and from the reflection, they quickly deduced that he was driving a two-seater McLaren sports car that reportedly costs $700,000. Colour us impressed. First with how amazingly astute those netizens are — we guess they are car connoisseurs? And second, with how driving such an exorbitantly-priced vehicle to run such a mundane errand is just part of Jimmy Lin's daily routine.
Like we mentioned earlier, Jimmy, who is also a professional race car driver, is one of showbiz’s most avid car collectors and parked in his garage are vehicles that won’t look out of place in a James Bond or a Fast and Furious movie. You know, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Aston Martins, and a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. Click on the photo gallery above to see the cars that Jimmy owns… that we know of.

This is Iron Man's car. Really.
In 2014, his Audi R8 Spyder, the same model of car which Robert Downey Jr drove in Iron Man, was badly damaged in an accident. Jimmy had loaned the car to a pal, who lost control of the vehicle while driving it. "Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore, he's naughty! We are good friends, so what more can i say? It's between us, and I'll settle it," Jimmy sighed in an interview.
Car seat ready
In 2016, he threw a Ferrari-themed birthday party for his twin boys, Jenson and Kyson.
