I think 35-45. The last one was 2021 at 20m and the world has changed a lot. If f40s are 3m plus now, a very special F1 should double 2021

I could see $35,000,000. Last built, incredibly low mileage, history and provenance….

I wouldn't be shocked to see $50m. We're living in times where the very richest are getting rapidly richer. $50m for the highest status drivable car is almost reasonable.

It’s also a drop in the bucket if you’re worth a billion, let alone several billions.

Yup. To put it in perspective, this would be like spending $50 when you have thousands in your bank account. People don't grasp the incredible gulf between being a millionaire and being a billionaire. I am a millionaire even though a good chunk is tied up in property, and so are many other property owners. And we definitely ain't going to be buying up McLarens.

A Canadian with a net worth of $1,000,000 buying a $72,000 new car. The same buying power for a billionaire is $72,000,000. Many have billions, so multiply that number as needed. The wealth gap is absolutely massive. Like the Boeing CEO having a compensation package that pays him nearly the same as their highest paid employee every single working day of the year.

> It’s also a drop in the bucket if you’re worth a billion, I don't think 1/20 of your worth is a 'drop in the bucket.' You'd have to be worth several billion for this not to be a major purchase.

When you deal in absolutes, it is. Cost of living does not scale with wealth. Before you buy that car, you weren’t worried about money. After, you still aren’t.

> Cost of living does not scale with wealth. I guess you're right, that's why I'm buying 300 million dollar mansions now on my 65k income.

That’s lifestyle not cost of living. The one house costs the same regardless of how much you have.

You said a 50 million dollar car would be a drop in the bucket for someone with a billion dollars. If only 20 'drops' would exhaust that entire bucket, it suddenly doesn't seem so insignificant, does it? That was my only point.
