Here is some surprising information for those of you that think that Hyundai is still that same old cheap Korean brand. According to Hyundai U.S. Chief John Krafcik, about 6% of American Express Centurion Card Holders – you know, those that are astonishingly rich enough to get the ‘Black Card’ with an unlimited credit line – own a Hyundai model.

That’s the same percentage of Black Card holders that own a Bentley and Audi. 22 percent of Black Card holders own a BMW, 21 percent own a Mercedes, 15 percent own a Porsche, 11 percent own a Lexus, 8 percent own a Ferrari and 7 percent own a Acura.

“I know you all can’t believe this,” Krafcik said at a presentation in Ann Arbor today. He also admitted to not ever being offered a Centurion Card invitation.

The average AmEx Black Card holder has $16.3 million in assets and an annual household income of $1.3 million.
