I hope I never own more in depreciating assets than the value of my home.

get the f*ck outta here....

over 1 million dollars worth of cars and his house is smaller than my parents home. WHY?

I know this is weird to say in a car forum but id rather live in an 17th century Castle and have one of those cars than have all those cars and his house.

Dumber things have happened, we have people taking out loans for an S65

Cant say I would ever finance a car nor would my car ever be worth more then my home, but to each his own.

When you can reinvest your cash at a rate higher than the rate on a loan, you take out the loan. Its not dumb, its financially sound.

I borrow for *everything* -- I reinvest every dollar into my business and I'd rather pay 4%-10% borrowing money to buy what I need.

If it flies, f--ks or floats, it is cheaper to rent.

Don't forget that. This is the first plane I bought rather than rent or lease, and I won't do it again, no matter how much money I have.

Thumbs down

Some of you sound like HATERS to me. Maybe he could get a better looking house, but it's his money. And from the posts, it looks as if he is located in California, where real estate values are sky high. So his house is probably worth close to about a million dollars or so. How do we know if he is not building a larger house later, or what his investment portfolio looks like, or if the guy just likes cars, and is not concerned about getting a placial mansion? The bottom line is that we don't really know anything about this person or most that post on bulletin boards. People should spend money on what they enjoy, based on each individuals priorities.

I bet his house is worth a couple mill.

The neighborhood looks great, and in CA the home prices are sky high. For a 2 bedroom condo in the f out of nowhere they ask for 600-700K in Los Angeles metro.

If the guy can afford all those cars, without a doubt he can afford a kick *** house. Maybe it is not his only house, maybe he has another, who knows.

I agree it looks funny that a guy lives in a beat up home and drives a Lambo, but this guy seems way different.

idk maybe its just me but i dont think owning 12 cars is very practical for 2 drivers.

Being a collector is one thing but i dont think any of those can be considered collector cars by todays standards.

I can understand the 5 exotics i guess, but owning 4 SUVs is kinda odd. I tell you one thing though those kids are pretty damn lucky. Im guessing hes a dealer license too, since i see no plates. So that might make it easier on the wallet.

Dang.... never seen a case like this. The closest I've seen is a member here who has two 65's in what it seems a "regular" 2-car garage (no offense to the member as pictures may be misleading)

I certainly wish he's in CA, lives nearby (don't think so... never seen a CGT parked around here) and a very nice guy who's willing to let me drive one of his exotics

Yeah, this guy four or five blocks down owns a ~$400,000 home, but owns a Carrera GT and a crapload of AMGs.

I would also spend a portion of my money on a nice car and just get a satisfactory home, but the guy posted on that forum is going way over the top.

Mortgage broker to high-networth people.... and his age is only 28 (unless he lied about his age ). His company is called Loan Advisors.

He must be doing some other business also... otherwise, it's hard to believe to see how he could afford maintaining (service, insurance, etc.), let alone, buying those cars.... Not impossible, though, especially if he has no savings left.

One thing that I notice.... he said he put 10K miles already on his CGT already.... but how come it still has dealer license plate? Buying and selling cars could very well be his side jobs. Might be wrong... but who knows.

I know couple mortgage brokers personally and a cousin who has a dealership.... from outside, my cousin seems as if he were a multi-millionare. And the mortgage brokers, just look OK or regular rich people

Either way, it's a fortune to have cars like that.

mortgage broker..

Trust me, if he's a mortgage broker doing good business in the most expensive market, he's doing very well. I do mortgages on the side I can tell you that brokers w/ their own firms make up to $2million easy.. Possibly more but it does depend on your market. I live in Northern Va/DC area where prices are bananas, comparable to Cali. I say good for him!! Life is short, enjoy them cars!

Maybe im stupid or smth but why would you have 3 ( awesome) Sports copes? I mean CGT is more then enough to have as a sports/weekend car! Ferrary F430 okay thats a ferrary you gotta have one, but whats the purpose of having the lambo? I'd rather have a ****ing S class or bentley GT as daily comfy car. I dont understand.


If i had 1 mil to spend on cars i would prbably have CGT or F430, and new s600 or S63.

Interesting.... Please entertain me more (who knows I'm interested in being a mortgage broker or alike myself )... $2mill, is it a take-home profit or revenue? Personal or firm?

I honestly didn't really expect to see a mortgage broker to get $2mill take-home profit (when interest rate is going down, yes, but not nowadays when interest rate seems pretty high compared to a year or two ago).

Yet... like I said, it's not impossible, especially if you have commercial clients who have hundreds of million dollar loans, which could give you couple mills in one shot.
