This is a real eye opener, guys worth billions riding modestly.
Meanwhile some guys who make $100,000 a year driving the most expensive car they can afford. Something to think about....

Solid Bob · 09-16-2006, 10:35 PM

A lot of rich people are weirdos. I've been to estate sales in multi million dollar homes where the bed was held up by bricks. The only reason these guys don't have expensive ass cars is that it's not something they are interested in. I doubt they have any bling on either.

It doesn't. My bed is held up by bricks right now. I also tip 3 cents no matter how much dinner costs because I'm such a thrifty bastard.

A lot of wealthy people simply don't want people to know how much money they have. It can lead to security issues.

Some people here can take a lesson from successful people like this -- it's not all about "showing it" and the bling. I personally believe I'd rather spend money on doing things than buying things. Just my 2 cents!

georgeyw · 09-17-2006, 05:12 AM

alot of those buys would have REAL status symbols

like 200+ft yachts...

Boobs · 09-17-2006, 05:28 AM

it's how many cars they own is the question

Mr. Romance · 09-17-2006, 05:34 AM

Yeah different strokes for different folks..

Mr. Romance

Minte · 09-17-2006, 07:03 AM

I think it has more to do with age,and the fact that most of the people on that list get their adrenalin fix in other ways..Like crushing their competition in business.
Even so,there were a number of porsche's in that group.

Basic_man · 09-17-2006, 07:18 AM

Gates only own 2 Porsche? Wow

Drake · 09-17-2006, 07:19 AM

It might seem trivial to people who can buy anything in the world and who aren't car aficionados. They're probably representative of the general population. Some will buy expensive cars, some won't. There is no right or wrong in either, it's just personal preference.

No doubt their kids drive the best cars though.

Good point. Age is an important factor.

If i ever become billioner i will still buy lamborgini who doesnt cost a lot.

scottybuzz · 09-17-2006, 07:47 AM

if i become a billionaire , a merc is all i need, shows uve made it.

Rochard · 09-17-2006, 08:29 AM

What cracks me up the most is the cars parked in apartment complexes. If you can't afford to buy a house you shouldn't be buying a $60k BMW.

Back in the day a nice car used to be a status symbol. Now it's not; You can finance anything.

I've been toying with the idea of buying a Ferrari, and yes, I would have fiance the $200k car. But I just can't do it. My commute is all of five miles; I just can't justify it. I just bought me a new Mustang and before I got plates I got rear ended, and yesterday we discovered someone nailed my wife's truck. I could just imagine how I would feel if my $200k Ferrari got so much as a paint chip in it.

Nah, I'll stick to my Mustangs.

I have one of those also .. My wife drives it the most but i love that car .. loaded with function and pretty fast. the auto stick can be fun also ..

andrej_NDC · 09-17-2006, 09:01 AM

And that is good how? When they can't enjoy their life. They die with a shitload of money and had a worse life than many people with an average income. Some people think they will be young for 200 years and can start enjoying the earned money later. But there is no later.

And some people will stick to $60k cars with their 2 bedroom apartments. Doesn't make you better or them worse. Why does it cracks you up in the first place? If you are happy with how you live your life, you don't care about others. I surely don't.

It's simple: Looking back, I wish when I was 25 I bought a house instead of buying a car I couldn't afford. I bought my second new car which was more than I could afford where if I bought the house I could have had two room mates maying my monthly mortgage for me.

CheeseFrog · 09-17-2006, 09:34 AM

Funny how they didn't mention Ellison's two McLaren F1's he had (not sure if he still has them though).

But when you look back you surely have some nice memories connected with the car. ;)

That's why some Billionaires are the way they are, they keep their money instead of spending it needlessly.

cayne · 09-17-2006, 04:07 PM

They don't got style. It's easy as that. And besides that...these guys are all old as fuck. Of course it isn't that important what you drive, when you're 50. But I'm 22, I want a fucking Lamborghini!! :>

cayne · 09-17-2006, 04:09 PM

But I have to say, this is big-pimpin, by Bill Gates:

In fact, due to the 959’s questionable emissions and unknown crash ratings, it took a federal law signed by President Clinton for Bill Gates to legally drive his 959 on American roads. Rumor has it that Bill Gates and Paul Allen employed Microsoft engineers to write a computer program that could simulate the 959’s crashworthiness, which helped in the bill’s passage.

Basically the president signed your driver license...not bad! ;)

rodney25 · 09-17-2006, 04:17 PM

Amd why the fuck do we care? life is about enjoying it, if a 3 million dollar car makes you happy DO IT, these people remind me of a bunch of cheap ass jews which i bet alot of them actually are, or arab, both races are famous for being the cheapest pieces of shit on earth.
