This Guy Just Bought A 64 Years Old Car For $35.5 Million by ibinaboonline(op): 4:08pm On Mar 19
The guy on the left just paid $35.5 million (approx. 49.7 billion naira) for that white car in the background. That's a Ferrari 250 GTO. Yeah, it's a unicorn because this lineage is known for their red color. This one is white for reasons I don't want to get into here because the car isn't the point of this post.

My point is just look at that guy, man. He just forked over $35 million to collect a car - a frigging hobby. And he's got a polo t-shirt and pants and sneakers. No million-dollar Hublot on his wrist. No agbada and a retinue of armed soldiers flanking him left and right. He's just sitting there in his white polo.

It's the mindset, man.

In case you want to know, his name is David Lee. That particular GTO is called the Bianco Special. It's only white Ferrari in history.

Edit: I hate how it's so difficult to insert photos where you want it in the body of the post.

People who spend money like this have conquered life, they know if you die you don't take your money to the grave so they spend it on things they like.

What we call too much money

No argument there. He's a Ferrari collector. The one on the second-right was named after Enzo Ferrari himself. The second-left is the Testarossa. Expensive classics, man.

They drive them around in summer just cruising. Lots of the vintage are still in use, with sound engine, no over smoking. Surprisingly

Car collection is a big business in america / Europe. You may be able to flip that ferrari over for more money.

Sure thing. He just has to wait a few years.

What I’m
Saying these cars and not cars used on daily basis.
They use them on special events and shows.
They spend most of their life in the guarage
