Default CGT Owners: What is your occupation?

I don't need to know salaries or anything too personal like that, but after looking at the stables of some of the CGT owners, I had to question what occupation allows for such lavish vehicles? I would donate several organs to science for 1 of the cars that the CGT owners have.

Help me plan my career path....

Cool

Since nobody has chimed in... Let's see... Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Jay Leno...

I do know of a guy that bought a C-GT by selling apples... he bought one apple at 25 cents and sold it for 75 cents... with that he bought three more apples and did the same (selling them at 75 cents each). After a week his old man died and he inherited 25 Million dollars and he bought a C-GT.

I hope you can enjoy some humor while the real owners reply...

i'll speak for many when i say, not many jobs alone will be able to afford a CGT without taking a huge toll on a person's future money situation. Rich people aren't typically rich because of their jobs (although some are, ie. ceo's, etc.). Many are rich because they handle money more efficiently than others (read: investments).

He shipped it straight to Scottsdale Porsche and consigned it for sale. I think they sold it several weeks ago. It had tobacco interior with red exterior - an unfortunate combo IMO

Although I am not an owner yet, I will be in less than 12 hours so I feel I can chime in on this thread.

I own a software / electronics company and a couple of bar / restaurants.

I can't sleep waiting for my car to be delivered tomorrow!!!
