A few days ago, we reported that Floyd Mayweather spent nearly $1 million on new cars ahead of his pay-per-view boxing match with YouTuber Logan Paul. If that sounds like a little much, the expenditure was made right before a fight at which he was estimated to earn as much as $100 million.
Naturally, the question on our minds was, what would you do with $100 million? The site being what it is, our minds of course ran to all the cars we could buy if we had a cool hundo coming in for having given one of the celebrities people love to hate a smack upside the head.
Mayweather is reported to have bought a Roll-Royce Ghost, which sounds like a lovely way to get around. I think if I had that much money coming in, though, I might call up the coachbuilding line and ask to get myself a bespoke Roller just like Jay-Z and Beyonce (are reported to) have done.

Collecting Cars reports that the Leonard Collection that was auctioned off not too long ago and featured 38 class classic vehicles, including some rare Porsches, a few Ferraris, and a tank, fetched a total of 7.5 million pounds ($10.6 million). Those were all auctioned off individually, so you might be able to get a deal if you bought out the whole collection.
In fact, the 10 most expensive cars auctioned off last year sold for a total of $61 million, which I think we still have enough cash left over to do.
You could also go another way, if you were so inclined and start a supercar hub or garage. Where I live there’s a salty winter, so you could do what my dad has always wanted to do and set up a fancy-pants garage where rich people park their cars and have them worked on while they smoke cigars and drink fancy liquor and do rich people things. With $100 million to invest, you could likely find a building in even the most densely populated cities.
If you did that, your money could make money. If you’re interested in just spending it all, damn the expenses, you might be able to start a racing team in a pretty good series. On the other hand, you know what the fastest way to become a millionaire in racing is, don’t you? Start out a billionaire.
But what would you do with all that money? Would you try and enrich yourself further? Would you build a collection, a racetrack, and hide away from civilization forever? Let us know in the comments.
