A Mar-a-Lago billionaire, 87-year-old Dr. Herbert Wertheim, buys Ferrari’s first electric car, the Ferrari Luce, at auction for more than $40 million. The purchase happens on Saturday, according to the reports.
The sources also say Wertheim does not plan to drive the vehicle. Instead, he says he will donate the proceeds from the sale to charity. One outlet describes the electric car as “controversial,” but does not provide additional specifics in the provided text.
Overall, the coverage is consistent on the buyer, the model, the reported auction date and price range, and the stated intention to donate proceeds rather than use the car personally. The differing emphasis is mainly on the novelty of the vehicle and the idea that it is controversial, as well as the buyer’s stated lack of plans to drive it.
