<p>This is a really stupid question, and im not one of those people who makes career decisions just based on money. But, how well off do these high salaries make you. Like how much money per year would you have to make to afford a ferarri. 300,000 or 500,000? or more</p>
<p>Maybe a million? You’ll net 500-600k.</p>
<p>To live like someone who should afford a Ferrari, you should be making over $1m a year, for a few years. Of course, you could afford a Ferrari if you make less, but the fact is that people who own Ferraris and live up to the standard of their cars have to spend $100k+ redoing their kitchens, $20k+ on weeklong tropical vacations, and $30k+ a year to be a member at a country club…not to mention $1000 on going out to eat each week and clothing and jewelry shopping that can total well over $10k each time.</p>
<p>
That’s the truth.</p>
<p>You would probably need to be making more than $2 million to be able to afford a Ferrari and not have it substantially dent your wealth.</p>
<p>I consider net worth of $100MM+ rich.</p>
<p>You should make $2MM or more, and expect your salary to grow significantly in the foreseeable future.</p>
<p>Are you sure that much. I’ve cars in that price range for 3 or 4 thousand a month. Now if you made even 600,000. That would be 50,000 a month. Three thousand a month out of 50,000 doesnt seem like that much. Ferraris are expensive but they arent million dollar cars.</p>
<p>Like the other posters said, you can’t exactly drive to Applebee’s for dinner in a Ferrari wearing a Polo shirt. Just doesn’t fit…</p>
<p>Also you probably want another car…or three…to drive around when you don’t feel like driving your ferrari.</p>
<p>My friend saw a guy come into a dealership and buy a ferrari enzo, and a ferrari F430 at the same time. Now that is rich.</p>
<p>Heh net worth of a 100+ to be rich huh? Anyone with 10+M is doing well. It also varies depending on where you live.</p>
<p>
Life is not that simple. There simply aren’t enough Ferraris to go around. There are more people who make $600,000 than there are Ferraris produced. Ferrari caters to the uber-elite.</p>
<p>Using personal income of $600,000 a year isn’t cutting it for a Ferrari. That’s like having a Porsche but not enough money to fill up the tank.</p>
<p>$100MM invested in 30-Year Treasury YTD 6.5%</p>
<p>$100MM x6.5%= $6.5 Million</p>
<p>You don’t even have to touch your principle. Just use the interest! Provided that this money is cash and not in any hard assets. But then again, most people who have this kind of money, it’s often in a form of stocks in the company they own or real estate.</p>
<p>that would lose principle, the inflation adjusted spread is like a percent; and really less because you’ll probably need to buy shorter dated bonds</p>
<p>wow… the numbers you guys are throwing out are crazy. come on its a 150k car. most people, atleast here in san jose (silicon valley) have atleast 100k in the garage… if not a ferrari, but usually an escalade and a nice Mercedes S55atleast 1/2 of silicon valley could own a ferrari without changing their lifestyle one bit. heck, my uncle owns a red one. he owns 3 jags, 1 mercedes, and a couple suvs. sure the ferraris nice, but it doesn’t stop traffic around here</p>
<p>If you make 50k and save 15k a year which is easily possible, you can afford one after ten years.</p>
<p>just because they sell for 150k doesn’t mean you’ll only need 150k. The only way that would go down would be for you to buy the car and just keep it in the garage. Ferraris are one of the priciest cars to maintain and that’s why they’re truly expensive.</p>
<p>the only time I’d buy a ferrari is if I pulled in nearly 10 million dollars.</p>
<p>if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it.</p>
<p>"Originally the talk was of building only 349 Enzos, but demand was so intense that Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo got everyone at the company factory in Maranello to roll up their sleeves and build 50 more by late 2004. At an asking price in U.S. dollars of $670,000 each, all 399 Enzos were sold even before that Paris show debut. That’s what we call good business. "</p>
