Gumball 3000 earned renown for its mind-blowing races attended by the crème de la crème — and opulent parties as well. Lasting for about a week, the event can be described as a crossover between a 3000-mile road trip and a more traditional car race.
Previous attendants include rappers like Bun B, Tinie Tempah, and Dizzee Rascal, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, and celebs like Michael Madsen and Adrien Brody. Gumball 3000 takes its name after the movie, The Gumball Rally.
"Gumball 3000 is not a bunch of rich people just showing off cars," Bun B told The Washington Post. "I understand why people would think that because the people that do it are wealthy. But once we get on that highway, money can’t help you in certain situations. You're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, you’re gonna be happy and angry. And it takes your brothers to help you get through it all. Gumball 3000 is a brotherhood."
Maximillion is also the producer of coinciding TV series like Gumball 3000, Rally On, and several other productions. Per IMDb, Eve made cameos in the 2011 Gumball 3000 LDN 2 NYC and documentaries like the 2012 Gumball 3000: Number 13. Maximillion's empire also includes an apparel line and more.
A Central Saint Martins alum, Maximillion has a strong interest in fashion. According to outlets like Married Wiki, he used to model for leading fashion houses like Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Mulberry.
Maximillion Cooper shares four kids with his first wife, movie producer and Cash & Rocket founder Julie Brangstrup.
Maximillion and Julie Brangstrup tied the knot in 2003. They share four teenage children, 19-year-old Lotus, 18-year-old Jagger, 15-year-old Cash, and 13-year-old Mini.
Maximillion and Eve started dating circa 2010, after first meeting at a Gumball 3000 rally. They got engaged in December 2013, and their wedding ceremony was held in June 2014 in Ibiza, Spain.
