A-list celebrities have been blacklisted by Bugatti, meaning they will never be able to buy a car from the luxury car brand again.
Due to numerous PR mishaps, unpleasant modifications, and a host of other issues, many A-list celebrities have been told they can't buy Bugatti cars.
Bugatti is one of the most popular luxury cars in the world, and not everyone can own one.
Even celebrities have long waiting lists, and with brands not keen on people selling used cars, the waiting lists have become virtually irrelevant.
One celebrity who has been blacklisted for this practice is boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

He could be ousted from Bugatti and Ferrari after reportedly selling his coveted waiting list spot.
Another star who can't afford luxury cars is Simon Cowell.
The exact reason is unclear, but it's speculated that this often happens when a celebrity tarnishes their image through behavior the brand disapproves of, or, as Mayweather did, when they sell their seat on a waiting list.
And it's not the only luxury car brand with this policy in place.
Justin Bieber has been banned from buying Ferraris after the automaker criticised the modifications he made to his Ferrari 458 Italia as being in “poor taste”.
Flo Rida was kicked out of Bugatti for an entirely different reason.
In 2011, after purchasing a Bugatti Veyron, he was stopped by police and charged with drunk driving after failing a breathalyzer test.

One of the most infamous bans came after movie megastar Tom Cruise made an epic red carpet gaffe. Mission: Impossible III.
The actor arrived on the red carpet with his ex-wife Katie Holmes in a Bugatti Veyron, but when he walked around to open his wife's door, Several Attempt.
Although fans online speculated that the doors were in fact locked from the inside and not a fault with the car itself, Bugatti couldn't forgive Cruz's gaffe and subsequently blacklisted him from their waiting list.
But these celebs might be better off on the blacklist, since Bugatti owners not only have to spend $21,000 a year on maintenance, but also have to replace the tires every 10,000 miles.
While we won't be adding a new Bugatti to Cruz's garage anytime soon, he's filled it with other luxury vehicles over the years, including BMWs, Chevrolets, Mustangs, and the infamous Bugatti Veyron.
