My point was, everything comes down to risk and if you are coming from rich background (like the 70mil example above) you can take the risks / have the start up capital risk free - to try it. Many rich kids probably fail too.

I remember watching some program like fifth gear once, who was like 'this kid made his first million by the time he was 18' - his business was selling ferraris / lambos etc.

- Was quite obviously from wealth and no non rich person could have done that by 18 - as the cost of stock alone must of been in the millions.

I know someone who was a millionaire at 16. .com as Paul mentioned, and at just 25 has had cars and properties that are simply unbelievable.
Currently going through the motions of selling one of his businesses for 'telephone numbers'.
Works bloody hard, has his head screwed on and has an eye and brain for a winner. He also shares his wealth and asked his mates to come on board as equal partners so they dont feel left out when house & Ferrari shopping.

458 is nice from the front but I don't like the 3 exhausts, even though its a design used I think because of a previous Ferrari.

The 599 has an Chevy Stingray look about it, one of the old 1970's models.

Looks nice, but I still prefer the F430. Still need time for the 458 to grow on me perhaps.

I have been out in one, and the car is clearly the nuts, but I feel more drawn to the F430, perhaps because its been out for a while and the 458 is new.

No, but the F430 is hardly a bad car either
