1. Ferrari 250 GTO ($38 million)
And the most expensive car owned by Ralph Lauren is also the most expensive car sold at auction, the most expensive Ferrari car in the world, and the most expensive sport memorabilia ever sold. Wow.
It is arguably the best classic car this Italian manufacturer ever built. It was built not just as a classic vintage sports car. But it was driven by some of Ferrari racing legends, such as Jo Schlesser, Henri Oreiller, Paolo Colombo, Ernesto Prinoth, and Fabrizio Violati during GT racing series in the 1960s.
There were 39 units of Ferrari 250 GTO produced. One hit the Bonhams auction house in California, United States two years ago, it broke the world record as the most expensive car ever sold with $38-million bid.
This 1962 car’s initial retail price was only $18,000 per unit. Who would have thought that after several races and decades later, it could turn into the costliest car in the world?
Ralph Lauren is kind enough to let us take a closer look on his luxury car collection. Just come to the exhibit at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France.
