โšก๏ธ๐Ÿš— ARCHIVE - At age 28, Elon Musk treated himself to a McLaren right after selling his first company for $307 million.

In 1999, Elon Musk sold his company Zip2 to Compaq for approximately $307 million and personally pocketed nearly $22 million thanks to his stake in the company.

He then decided to fulfill a dream: to buy this McLaren, the fastest production car on the planet, with a top speed of 386 km/h, of which only 62 exist worldwide.

A few years later, he actually wrecked that same McLaren in an accident during a demonstration for a friend, though none of the occupants were seriously injured.

Truly amazing what #elonmusk has achieved. Incredible string of wildly successful companies.

Just to be clear - are we fanboying on the #mclaren, which is a truly amazing car, or are we jealous of musk's success?

From rags to riches...but what about those blood emeralds from that mine in SA?
