Jerry Seinfeld pocketed enough money to buy more than a few coffee shops, let alone cups of coffee, thanks to the $22 million earned by selling some of his Porsches at an auction last weekend.
The funny man sold off 18 cars, 16 of which were Porsches, via Gooding & Co.'s auction at the 2016 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Seinfeld is believed to still have at least 150 cars, most of which are Porsches.
Highlights from the sale included a $5.35 million bid for a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, $3 million for a 1973 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, $2.3 million for a 1974 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR, $1.65 million for a 1990 962C race car, and $1 million for a 1994 964 Flatnose/Flachbau Turbo.
