Popular YouTuber and entrepreneur Ranveer Allahbadia has recently been on the news for all the wrong reasons. After being trolled for his controversial comments, Allahbadia was forced to publicly apologise after YouTube took down the episode. According to reports, Allahbadia lost over 4,000 followers on his personal Instagram account. Despite the controversy, we shift our focus on Allahbadia’s cars collection. With a net worth over Rs 50 crores, the surprising part is that he owns just one car—the Skoda Kodiaq.
Why Ranveer Allahbadia believes one car is enough?
Many expect celebrities, influencers, and entrepreneurs to own a fleet of cars, but Ranveer Allahbadia has a different mindset. Believe it or not, despite his success and a net worth of over Rs 50 crores, Allahbadia owns just one car – a Skoda Kodiaq, which was bought by his family.
In a YouTube video, Allahbadia shared that he made a promise to himself not to buy a car until he could truly afford one. True to his word, he relied on public transportation for years. As success came his way, it was his family who bought him the Kodiaq. In the video, which was a collaboration with Skoda, Allahbadia explained that his primary concern when choosing a car was having a comfortable and practical cabin, given that he is constantly on the move.
He also revealed that meditation plays a vital role in his daily routine. Whether it’s in the morning or while commuting in his Kodiaq, Allahbadia finds peace and clarity through his practice. Apart from the spacious cabin, the Skoda Kodiaq offers him features he finds crucial like the being able to heat up coffee by using the power output, connect devices like an Apple iPad, enjoy a premium infotainment system, but not for music, but to watch and figure out how to improve his video content. Let’s not forget the sunroof.
Despite his busy travel schedule, Allahbadia emphasized that he is constantly working on his business, reviewing analytics, and always working on his videos. His story reflects a grounded approach to success, where thoughtful decisions and a focus on personal growth guide him, rather than excess or materialism.
