Something money related to take our minds off the stock and crypto markets for a little while:
Mercedes-Benz confirmed on Thursday that it recently sold the world's most expensive car. A very rare 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR coupe that had been kept in the German automaker's collection was sold to a private owner for €135 million, the equivalent of $142 million. That price makes it the most expensive car known to ever have been sold, according to Hagerty, a company that tracks collector car values.
Money from the sale will be used to establish the Mercedes-Benz Fund, a global scholarship fund, Mercedes said in an announcement.
The previous record sale price for a car was reportedly $70 million paid in 2018 for a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO.

At that price point, you're buying rarity more than you are beauty. I imagine when you have frick you money many times over, owning the same beautiful things as all the other rich people gets rather boring

142 Million? That's it? I would have paid 150 million for it.

I"m now wondering how much "frick you" money I'd need to buy a car for $142M. Even if I had a $10B net worth, $142M on a car still wouldn't feel like a good idea

i hope they replaced the tires.

The most beautiful car of the 1950s, possibly excepting the C1 Corvette.
