The ItemFerrari 250 GTO (Chassis 5111GT)

A 1962 race car sold privately for more than most companies are worth on the stock market.

$70,000,000

The Item

The 250 GTO is widely considered the most desirable classic Ferrari ever made, built for FIA GT racing homologation in the early 1960s.

Each of the 36 original examples carries its own well-documented racing history, which auction houses treat as central to its value.

Why It's Obscene

The reported $70 million private sale in 2018 briefly made it the most expensive car ever sold.

A record that lasted only months before another 250 GTO topped it at public auction the very same year.
