Clyde,

Let's put this in perspective....  What's Warren Buffet money?  About $50B??  That's $50,000,000,000.  So let's say that he wants to drop $50M ($50,000,000) on said Ferrari.  That's only .1% of his net worth.  (someone smarter than me check this math.....  Please!)

To put it another way, if one earns, let's say $100K/year, it would be like spending $100 on something that one really, REALLY likes, that one believes will only increase in value, and gives great pleasure owning.  I'd guess there are very few people earning $100K who would not spend $100 on something like that.  For someone with Buffet kind of coin, $50M is like pocket change ("pocket fluff"?) to a mere mortal like me.

In other words, someone with Buffet-like money won't even miss $50M dropped on a toy car.  So instead, they should skip the car and give it to me - $50M will be a great deal of difference in my and my families lives.

fwiw, ymmv, yadda yadda....  ;-)
