, like Kim Kardashian, who recently had a minivan built to suit her extravagant tastes. What's it like, and how much did it cost her? Read on to learn all about it.

What makes Kim Kardashian's minivan so unique?

Minivans on the market today, like the

Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey

, offer some luxurious features to make your purchase worthwhile. You can get amenities like heated seats, backup cameras, and even Bluetooth to connect your devices. These vans can cost anywhere from $30,000 to over $50,000, depending on which trim and model you buy.

However, Kim Kardashian's new minivan is on a whole new level. Her Maybach model costs about eight times more money than most of the minivans we see on dealership lots today. According to the

Toronto Star

, it was specifically built for her, and it cost $400,000 to have it customized for her family. Of course, the price includes all the amenities that you wouldn't see in a typical minivan, though.

The builders of her new vehicle installed flat-screen TVs that automatically roll up, reclining business-class leather seats adorned with diamond stitching, a sophisticated climate control system, and color-changing mood panels embedded in the ceiling. It was created as a project on the Discovery Channel show Million Dollar Wheels.

What kind of minivan is it?

According to

AutoTrader

, the van began as a Mercedes-Benz Metris, which is actually a bit smaller than the automaker's more popular Sprinter model. The Metris, however, can be customized easily for interior plushness, whereas the Sprinter works great for commercial purposes.

The team at Million Dollar Wheels set out to revamp the Metris in a luxurious Maybach style, seen in many other Mercedes vehicles, like the

S-Class sedan

. Other features installed with this van are tables that can be pulled out and pushed back when needed, rests for under the knee, and a frosted partition to provide some privacy when necessary.

Editors at AutoTrader feel Kardashian's van still has the same Mercedes crash avoidance features the Metris offered due to having the same panel in the center of the grille, which house some of the sensors. The new van could come with the adaptive cruise control feature, the

Distronic Plus

, which Mercedes-Benz is known for.

According to

U.S. Weekly

, Kim Kardashian considers herself a "car girl" because of all the vehicles she's owned during her lifetime. This new minivan is set to haul around her four children, ranging from 2 to 8 years old. She plans to take them to their school.

Besides this new minivan, Kardashian also has four Maybach-style trucks, which she felt she needed a fleet of. She also has a private jet, many purses and heels, mansions, and huge fridges. With her estimated worth being $1.8 billion, she can undoubtedly afford all of them.

As for vehicles, you might not be surprised to find out she owns a Lamborghini, a Maybach sedan, and a Rolls Royce, all with the same gray color to match her million-dollar home, according to the

South China Morning Post

website.
