Many self-made billionaires don't spend on what they don't want or need. Note the two who still use Lincoln Town Cars.
Now, the Town Car isn't at the top of anyone's list of I-want-it luxury cars, but it's plush, comfortable, quiet-riding and dependable. What more do you need in a car? If you're working 20 hours a day like these guys, you don't want a built-in cellphone, brain-wracking radio controls (BMW I-Drive) or wireless internet. You just want a comfortable car that'll take you home and back.
And if you want sporty, why go for a luxury sports car you'll never be able to use in anger? Bill and his friend have it right, get the most hardcore no-frills supercar money can buy, the 959. I wouldn't be surprised if other young IT millionaires are driving F1s and F40s instead of the celebrity default Ford and Carrera GTs.
And note how the others drive trucks. Practical daily cars that they can use for work and for commuting.
Ang galing nga... what you'll notice of the industry billionaires... they don't care about the prestige of the car (since when was a 959 prestigious in a world that has more expensive and flashy supercars?), they just care that it does what it does very well... coddle (Town Car), play (959), work (Pickups).
Note the one billionaire who actually drives an Integra... I'd still do that if I were a billionaire.![]()
