How to Spend Millions of Euros on Supercars Without Having "a Penny to Your Name"

The truth is, this is a question we would love to answer with something simple and easy to carry out, so that all of us could keep a supercar in our garage and enjoy it without fear of anything.

Unfortunately, building a good collection of supercars requires a lot of money, which might come from founding a company with enormous international success, a generous inheritance… or having more nerve than a brick wall and conning every living soul.

The latter, apparently, is what an American gentleman as famous as Cole Russell devoted himself to, a character who, according to Anton Trizna, basically made a living by swindling companies as important worldwide as Best Buy, from which he obtained a fortune valued at 31 million dollars.

Apparently this man made a large fortune thanks, as we have already mentioned, to defrauding companies like Best Buy in the sale of computer parts, something he did through his company dedicated to designing and manufacturing chips. At that factory, never one to be idle, this gentleman built two enormous warehouses: one devoted entirely to factory operations and another to store his huge car collection.

So much so that this man was known for buying cars the way someone buys Hot Wheels, to the point that, for example, if he bought a Bentley one day and the next decided the color didn’t quite convince him, he promptly went out and bought another.

So much so that, once all his shady dealings came to light, 11 cars were seized from him, which were nothing more than the tip of the iceberg of his empire. Among them, we should highlight for example an SLR McLaren, a Saleen S7, a Ford GT, a Lamborghini Diablo VT, a Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster, a Porsche Carrera GT, a Ferrari F430 Spyder, a Aston Martin Vanquish, a Ferrari Superamerica and two Ferrari Enzo.

As I was saying, this was apparently just the tip of the iceberg, since in a second warehouse vehicles as iconic and, above all, expensive as a Bugatti Veyron, a Ferrari F50, F40, F430, 599 were discovered… Truly a shame that these kinds of gentlemen can afford such “whims” at the expense of other people. Finally, if you have enough money, this entire car collection will go up for auction on the 19th of April in Milwaukee.
