The Wrong John Lennon Luxury Car Sells at Auction

On the heels of an immense wave of John Lennon nostalgia stemming from Rolling Stone publishing previously undisclosed tapes from his final interview, 30 years after his death, a luxury car crime has been committed (see photo below).

It seems that the ‘Mean Green Machine’, an eyesore that was the daily driver for John Lennon and wife Yoko Ono during the final years of his life, has sold at auction. Why does this amaze me? Because he also owned a 1965 Rolls Royce Phantom Limousine painted in wild psychedelic colors and patterns. Which would you rather have for an inflated price because it was formerly owned by a legend? Thought so. I would even settle for a Rolls Royce rental over a putrid green putter.

Entertainer Pat Boone Purchases Luxury Estate on The Utopia Residential Ocean Liner

Legendary entertainer Pat Boone seems to have the right idea, as he has recently purchased a luxury residence aboard the Utopia Residential Ocean Liner. I suppose a luxury yacht charter simply would not do! So what exactly is the Utopia?

Utopia is essentially a floating community, much like the World ResidenSea we have mentioned before. Utopia actually means “An ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects. This is a very fitting name, considering the fact that Utopia is a mega yacht of not only massive proportions, but also colossal social and cultural aspirations.

Beyonce Bestows Bugatti Upon Jay-Z for Birthday Gift

Beyonce Knowles may well be the best girlfriend in the world, having bestowed a brand spanking new Bugatti on her husband, Jay-Z, for his 41st birthday on December 4th. She is a keeper! She could have indulged him in a special night out with an exotic rental car Miami style, but she went the extra million…I mean mile here.

Billionaire Pays $330,000 For Truffles, Matching His Own World Record

Billionaire entrepreneur Stanley Ho has matched his own previously held world record price paid for a truffle, indulging his sweet-tooth with two white truffles, 900 grams and 400 grams for the bargain rate of $330,000. As you may have guessed, this was a luxury auction. I am thinking that for that price, I would prefer a shiny new Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, or a nice long run of exotic car rentals Miami style whenever I travel. Well, Ho has owned a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, so I suppose he can also afford the little things. Sigh.

The luxury auction was held in Macau, a former Portuguese colony returned to China in1999, where Ho is reigns as the wealthiest person. Stanley Ho, also known as Ho Hung-sun and Stanley Ho Hung-sun, is nicknamed “The King of Gambling”, thanks to his impressive government-granted monopoly he held in the Macau gambling industry for 40 years. I guess you could say it is good to be Stanley Ho, his daughter is pretty hot, too!

What Recession? BMW Expands for Second Time This Year

German luxury car marquee BMW Group has made the satisfactory announcement that it intends to expand its capacity for the second time in under a year. What recession? These plans come due to the increased demand for exotic cars, correlating to a recovery of purchase power. This trend has even expanded to an increase in exotic rental cars Miami like the Ferrari F430 rental, it is a potential signal of economic recovery.

BMW X1

Of course other rumors paint a nasty picture, of the wealthy holding back money during the recession in efforts to appear sympathetic and frugal, you know, keeping up appearances. I prefer the bright side of situations, and would like this to serve as a sign of economic recovery.

Mysterious Exotic Car Auction, Who is Selling the Sultan’s Cars?

Recently a staggering collection of exotic supercars went on sale, including around 25 Ferraris, 3 Lamborghinis and a Cizeta. The sheer volume and uniqueness of the collection indicates that it is almost certainly that of the Sultan of Brunei. So who is selling the Sultan’s fleet?

All of the luxury cars are unregistered with delivery mileage only, and all were ordered brand new from the factory and delivered directly to the owner. The owner then never drove them. I don’t know if that displays extreme willpower, or extreme stupidity.

Billionaire Gifts Luxury Cars to Staff at Christmas Bonanza

Forget lofty and extravagant Christmas bonuses intended to bolster employee retention-Billionaire Clive Palmer has outdone them all by gifting luxury cars to his staff! I think an exotic rental car like an Aston Martin rental Miami may have sufficed, yet why bother with the pain of returning it?

So how big is this gift? The bar for bonuses has now been set impossibly high, as he has given all 750 of his long-term employees at his Yabulu nickel refinery in north Queensland a stay at a luxury resort in Fiji, and showed his appreciation to his 50 most valued employees with a brand-spanking-new Mercedes-Benz B-Class Hatch luxury car, mostly production workers. For the record, I would have been impressed by a Mercedes-Benz rental Miami style!

The final bill for his generosity was an extravagant Christmas party that cost an estimated $2 million, including more than 20 performing artists, the 50 Mercedes Benz cars, the 750 luxury resort vacation packages and trips for 50 new hires to a Queensland resort, for an estimated $10 million.

Gulfstream knows luxury jets, and for the swanky G550 business jet, they have ‘pulled out all the stops’, so to speak! The Gulfstream G550 is an ultra-long range luxury business jet charter that has been setting records since its inception, beginning with a nonstop flight from Seoul, South Korea to Orlando, Florida in 14.5 hours, just two weeks after it entered service. This model certainly stands out among other private jet charters!

Don’t worry, it is available for charter for far less, and there are always light jet charters and medium jet charters for smaller trips. The G550 jet effortlessly links Washington D.C. with Dubai, London with Singapore and Tokyo with Paris, removing the angst of commercial air travel from business trips.

Next time you feel a twinge of jealousy about the high-roller lives of those on Wall Street, with the fat cat salaries and obscene bonuses, remember that they at least help keep the exotic car rental and luxury car industries afloat! The movie Wall Street’s Ducatis were pretty sweet, too!

Can You Guess The Most Expensive Zip Code?

Do you know where the current most expensive zip code in the United States is located? This question will come easily to real estate and luxury property buffs. I will narrow it down- it is in California.

Did you guess the infamous 90210? While that was correct in the past, and the sitcom rocked, it is no longer the winner of the most expensive zip code! That coveted and prestigious title now belongs to Duarte, 91008. If you ask me, it is ok, it simply lacks that familiar “90210” ring that those of us from the 90s are so accustomed to. So what is so special about Duarte, and where, pray tell, is it?
