Biography & Early Wealth Journey

That was a wise choice. In November RM Sotheby's, the car-auction arm of Sotheby's, will offer Jim's 250 GTO at auction with a STARTING PRICE of $60 million.

Jim Jaeger's Ferrari 250 GTO

There's a little additional history behind the car, as it's one of two GTO models that Scuderia Ferrari actually raced. Since most car collectors are not professional racers, it would likely be the closest the buyer comes to winning a tournament event. The car was driven at the 1962 Le Mans and finished second overall in the 1962 Nürburgring 1,000 km race.

Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

And if you're thinking a $60 million starting bid is insane, consider the following –

Back in 2018 RM Sotheby's sold a 1962 250 GTO model for $48.4 million. And that same year a 250 GTO reportedly traded hands privately for $70 million.

Believe it or not, even if Jim Jaeger's 250 GTO sells for $70 million, that still won't be halfway to the most expensive car sold at auction. That record belongs to a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Coupe which sold at auction for $142 million in May 2022.
