Jays never shy about what he has but he also never rubs it in your face or brags about it. Always a classy guy that does a lot of charity for others

Worked with many celebrities and Jay with his wife are one of the most humble and nice folks one can meet. Very down to earth.

There's something about Jay that's very authentic doesn't inspire envy and just motivates. I really like that about him. He's like that cool wise uncle that just wants to show you cool things and share knowledge with you. Always picking your brain asking you questions. Love it.

I met fellow that worked in Jay Leno's garage, before starting his own vintage race car shop, years ago He told me that guy you see in these videos and his garage show, is exactly how he is.

Jay doesn’t have “old money”, he earned every nickel of it, and he’s comfortable showing (not show off) what he has, especially the car collection, which he graciously allows us to drool over! Italian boy made good !! 🇮🇹🇺🇸

I have met Mr. Leno and he said call him Jay. We were showing my 69 Buick Riviera at a car show. He came and admired it. He was dressed in jeans and his trade mark chambray shirt, with a grease stain on it! A great down to earth guy, who admired my Made my day

The "homing peacock" story in itself was worth watching the entire video. I could watch a 2-hour long episode of this. Thanks, ARS. Great video.

[jonnyrox]

Jay has never made you feel that he owns all these wonderful things, especially his car collection! He simply views himself as the caretaker of these wonders to be passed along to the next worthy soul that cherishes treasures as much as he does....his own words !

[joannbennett]

Thanks for showing this beautiful place my dad actually lived in it for a time while he was in the Navy over 50 years ago when I was very small my sister and I got to visit it.

[comicman]

I remember driving by this house as a kid and being amazed! So cool that Jay and his wife purchased it.

[sheerwillsurvival]

He’s living the dream and he earned it . My hats off to him 👊🏻

[donnabenson]

I love the fact that you, Jay would invite us into your home to see your stuff. Your home is a beautiful work of art. Your wife is a lucky girl. My husband never bought me a castle! Lucky girl! Yay!!!

[Nick]

That peacock story is freaking amazing

[stevekimball]

Jay Leno is a a National Treasure. He Loves his Veterans, so humble and kind.

I had the pleasure of performing music at this house for the previous owners. The place is amazing. The owner at the time was Richard L. Bready. CEO for NORTEK INC., chair of the RWU, and philanthropist.

One of the few fancy houses that I actually like the interior decor. It looks cheerful and livable

[andrewheffel]

I am very happy that sometimes good, hard working people become wealthy, not just jerks. I am happy for you Jay!

[georgeshaw]

Beautiful home Jay, congratulations buddy, we’ll deserved. You’ve been making us all smile for years.

[craigcampbell]

Imagine buying a house so large and expensive that it COMES with a painting in the entry way that is worth more than a lot of people’s entire house.

I love how humble he is. Just wearing a t shirt and jeans. My friend in California has met him several times and he said he is the nicest guy. He's also said he's made enough money for a lifetime as well as his kids. Meaning he's not interested in making more. ❤
