Palmer Luckey's vehicle collection includes TK and TK.

Palmer Luckey can travel by land, air, and sea — in some expensive and offbeat vehicles.

The Oculus founder and Anduril cofounder is known for his new-age tech. In his day jobs, he built virtual reality headsets and military drones. Behind the scenes, Luckey has designed some more far-out tech, and also built the ModRetro Chromatic, a portable console that runs Game Boy cartridges.

Luckey also commands a fleet of collectible vehicles. From a 1967 Disneyland car to a Humvee, here's how Luckey gets around.

Mark V Special Operations Craft

On Bloomberg's "The Circuit," Luckey told Emily Chang about his extensive vehicle collection. That includes a Mark V Special Operations Craft, which he said he purchased from the Navy. It is the fastest boat ever built by the force, he said, with a little over 5,000 horsepower.

"It was designed specifically for Navy SEAL insertion and extraction missions," he said. "It runs really fast, and it's a lot of fun."

Luckey still has the real M2 heavy-barreled 50 BMG machine gun that came with the boat, but keeps fake ones fitted "most of the time," he added.

"Most of my neighbors like it, and a handful hate it," he said.

UH-60 Black Hawk

Luckey's passion for the military started when he was young, he told Chang.

"I grew up watching the Marine Corps practice right offshore in their helicopters," he said. "Watching Navy ships do exercises gets in your brain, and it doesn't leave."

He's now the proud owner of six helicopters, including a UH-60 Black Hawk, which he posted a photo of on X in 2023.

1967 Disneyland Autopia car

Luckey owns a 1967 Disneyland Autopia car that was used in Disney theme parks and designed by legendary park designer Bob Gurr and Walt Disney himself.

"As far as I know, mine is the only complete Autopia that is outside of the parks. Mine has the original mechanicals, original gearboxes, original wheels, the whole deal," Luckey told Chang.

The small vehicle, typically seen tearing up Disneyland racetracks, suffered a minor breakdown mid-interview and had to be fixed with a flathead screwdriver.

In his interview with Chang, Luckey said that he owned a 1985 ex-Marine Corps Humvee.

He owned the Humvee while he worked at Facebook, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. After Facebook acquired Oculus, Luckey worked at the company for two years. The Journal reported that Luckey drove the vehicle to work, and that he once had to move it from the Facebook parking lot after police were called.

Luckey posted a photo of his Humvee on X in 2022.

In 2018, Luckey described what he splurged on after the Oculus acquisition to CNBC Make It. Two of those purchases were cars.

"The first thing that I did when I got a bit of money was buy a [1969 Ford] Mustang convertible," Luckey said. "Then, I bought a Tesla Model S, which I think is the best overall car made in the entire world."

Parking his cars has been more challenging. In 2024, Luckey sued the elevator contractor and the construction company behind his garage, alleging that the building's four-car lifts were faulty, per Forbes. Luckey's lawyer told the outlet that he was once stuck in the elevator.

Submarines and motorcycles

Luckey also owns "a couple of submarines" and a "fleet of motorcycles," per the Los Angeles Times.

The tech billionaire owns these vehicles through various LLCs, the LA Times reported. The LLC names reportedly include Luckey Arms, Luckey Air Transport, and Luckey Ground Technology.

Jetson One
Palmer Luckey completed his Jetson One flight training in under 50 minutes.

Jetson recently completed the first delivery of its personal aircraft to Luckey, presenting him with a Jetson "wings" pin.

The electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft was first announced in 2021. Luckey purchased his in for shipment in 2023, but the delivery "took a bit longer than anticipated," Jetson founder Tomasz Patan wrote in a press release.

Luckey spent 50 minutes training before taking flight, which the company said was "a record, demonstrating Palmer's unique understanding of advanced technologies."

In August, Luckey seemed to be mulling another purchase: A United States Coast Guard CB-OTH.
