Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason to Drum Up Exotic Car Investment Returns

Nick Mason Pink Floyd

When he isn’t busy being the drummer for Pink Floyd, Nick Mason is an avid classic and luxury auto enthusiast.  Mason is on an advisory board of IGA Automobile LP, an investment group that is interested in purchasing $150 million worth of classic and exotic cars to gain a 15% ROA.  It is possibly the first classic-car fund that is poised for returns, rather than a passion for automobiles.

Mason has a passion for fast cars, luxury cars and likely exotic rental cars when traveling and has competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours race five times, and is likely not short on cash, so this is a surprising move.  In his garage lurk the likes of Ferrari, Porsche 962, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Bugatti.  A new machine, indeed.

2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione Expected to Snag $2.5 Million at Auction

A rare Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, one of just 30 built, is set to hit the auction block on January 21st in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The exotic Ferrari is expected to fetch $2.5 million by the time the gravel drops at Gooding & Company.  That is correct, a rare Ferrari is going to sell for the price of a new Bugatti.  For those of us who do not have a few million, take comfort in the variety of exotic car rentals Miami style you can afford!

2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione

The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione is part of an exquisite collection of exotic cars owned by Benny Caiola, who was a Sicilian-born Manhattan real estate mogul and avid Ferrari fan.  The collection includes the FXX Evoluzione, a 2005 Maserati MC 12, a 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo and eight additional Ferraris (Prancing testaments to Caiola’s brand dedication, I presume).

The Most Expensive Sports Teams: You Gotta Pay to Play

Forbes has been having some fun listing the most valuable teams in sports.  If the following teams were to sell, they would fetch some impressive prices, making them among the most expensive sports teams in the world.

Manchester United F.C. – $1.87 Billion
England’s Manchester United is a Premier League club and the most valuable soccer (football) club in the world. This could be thanks to the team’s 18 league titles, four Football League Cups and 11 Football Association Challenge Cups, but that is just a guess!  I am wondering how many luxury cars, Bugatti’s and exotic rental car indulgences one could buy with that price tag.

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 Residential Ocean Liner
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.
