You can get a brand new Bentley Flying Spur for LESS than that, so a used one would be worth much less.

I know that it cost more for him to get the 3 Lexus(in place of his Bentley) but all I was saying was he could have went w/ 3 Ultra Luxury cars for his family thats all, which obviously would have cost much more than the 3 Lexus. How do we know he didnt go w/ 3 $100k+ Ultra Luxury vehicles instead of the 3 Lexus b/c he has reduced cash flow?

Why don't you go further & ask why he didn't get 3 Bentleys plus a few exotic sports cars & a private yatch & a private jet if he had better cash flow then ?? We don't even know if he has the yatch &/or the jet now anyway. The original point is that he traded the Bentley for the Lexus because of how he was treated by the dealer, & it's not because of costs since he had to spend more for the Lexus cars.
Some super rich don't splurge on ultra high end cars anyway even if they have private yatch/jets & a few mansions, & they could have just write a check & buy fleets of ultra high end cars but choose not to.

totally agree. some people they have so much money it's not even funny. not to say the guy here with the bentley doesn't have a lot of money (for sure a lot more than i do already), but like andrew said there are people who can buy a row of ferrari and still don't break a sweat. they might even have several boats and couple of jets here and there that he forgot

Reminds me of a conversation I overheard at a resort between 2 obviously ultra rich couples, one guys asks the other if he visits Colorado much and the guy turned to his wife and said "Don't we have a house in Aspen?" Now you have to be loaded to forget if you own a damn house somewhere or not.
