22 million out of 800 million dollar fortune from his tv series....daaaamn!!! |
why did he sell the Porsches? |
^ the porsche bubble is going to burst. sell the cars now, get some money out of them and then when they get cheap, buy them all back. lol. |
we will never understand celebrity. Successful life, large collection of cars, house, and woman, then all in a sudden fuck it, let's do charity |
Lol what's not to understand about it? Most of them feel empty and if you'd look into life of successful business people, most are highly involved in charity work (albeit some are just for show to make them feel better internally). Still better than many brainless celebrities that end up killing themselves though. |
Porsche > drugs |

I'm guessing that he realizes he can no longer drive them all and give each of them the attention they deserve. I'm sure he has to hire a team to maintain them and drive them once in a while, otherwise, P-cars like any other car, if they sit, they will deteriorate and die. I think that he is enough of a car nut in general to know that if these cars aren't being enjoyed and will slowly die from aging, he might as well auction them off to people who will put them to good use and make a buck or two out of it. No shame in letting go. |
he collecting 22mil in P car is probably like us collecting few thousands dollars worth of diecast models, hobbies, toys, memorabilia...etc rich or poor, sometimes people grow out of that interest and decide to sell it all. If you no longer have interest in those objects, best thing is to sell it to someone else who actually appreciates them. Plus you can use the money for things that means more to you now. (be it charity or another "hobby") |
i think i read it somewhere in a jalopnik article or something, but i recall him giving a statement saying that he doesnt drive all of them as frequently as he wants to and wants to send them back out in the world for someone else to be able to enjoy driving them as he did. which i think is a pretty nice and touching thing for such a well known car collector such as himself. |
He has a 100+ collection so it's not exactly Porsche liquidation warehouse or anything. If this is the type of calibre of cars in his to go pile, I wonder what he considers keep worthy in that warehouse... |
Yeah, if you've watched his film Comedian or CICGC, he's just kinda bored. He made one of the best shows of all time. He has everything he could ever want. What do you do when you're as successful as you can be? His hobby is Porsches, so he probably collected like crazy. Just like when anyone gets older, the tendency is to simplify one's life. No way he has the energy to drive all those cars. So good for him for selling some off. I'm sure his collection of P-Cars is one of, if not the best in the world. |
