who owns the original batmobile

The original 1966 Batmobile has been sold multiple times over the years, so ownership has changed hands. The most widely reported recent owner in the sources I found was Rick Champagne , who bought it at auction in 2013 for $4.62 million.

What “original” usually means

  • If you mean the 1966 TV-series Batmobile , it was built by George Barris from a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car.
  • That same car was auctioned in 2013, and reports at the time said Rick Champagne won it.
  • Some later articles note that ownership can move between collectors, so the exact current owner may have changed after those reports.

Quick answer

If you’re asking about the famous 1966 screen-used Batmobile , the last clearly documented owner in the results I found was Rick Champagne.
