What car does Lamar Odem drive? Unfortunately, Lamar has been under the raider since he and his ex-wife divorced. This situation makes it challenging to keep tabs on his personal life since he is rarely in the spotlight. However, back in 2014, his ex-wife got him a white Rolls-Royce worth $400k. It is uncertain whether he kept the car or returned it after the divorce.
