As one of the most successful actors in the world, you would expect Cruise could buy any car he wants. But apparently, he's not allowed a Bugatti, it seems.
Before you start worrying that Tom Cruise has somehow gone broke, no - the reason he can’t buy one has nothing to do with money.
In case you know absolutely nothing about cars, Bugatti’s are a somewhat rare luxury car; not just anyone can have one, even if you can afford the expensive price tag.

The problem is, the company has simply banned Cruise from buying one after making a blunder in public. Not many companies would have the gall to ban one of the biggest celebs in the world, but here we are.

The French company is known for having some of the fastest cars on Earth, as well as tight rules in place for its clientele.
Not only do owners need to spend approximately $21,000 on yearly maintenance - more than the cost of a lot of cars on the market - but they're also encouraged to change their tires every 10,000 miles.

The cars themselves can cost anywhere from $3 million to $12.5 million (per MotorTrend), but it's not the financial aspect of buying a Bugatti that's limiting Cruise.
His ban actually comes from an incident that took place in 2006, which likely still haunts the actor to this very day.
It all went down at the premiere of Mission Impossible 3, when Cruise was spotted apparently struggling to open the passenger side door of his Bugatti Veyron, inside which his then-wife, Katie Holmes, was waiting to be let free.

Holmes did eventually make it out of the car and onto the red carpet, but the high-profile fumble was enough to catch the attention of Bugatti.
The awkward moment was ultimately deemed too embarrassing for the supercar brand to ever allow it to happen again, resulting in Cruise's lifelong ban.
Don’t feel too bad for Cruise, though, because he's actually not alone in the 'banned from Bugatti' club.
For one reason or another, stars including Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, Flo Rida, Simon Cowell, and 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button have also been indefinitely banned from purchasing a Bugatti.

Thankfully, Cruise has found solace in other luxury car brands, including the likes of BMWs, Chevrolets, and Mustangs, all of which have found a home in his garage at one point or another.
