The Ferrari 250 GTO Is The Mona Lisa Of Cars. There Are 36 Left In The World. Here's A Definitive List Of All The Current Ferrari 250 GTO Owners

The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely considered the most beautiful car of all time. It is also one of the most valuable cars ever sold, whether publicly or privately. On the rare occasion that a 250 GTO goes up for sale, it almost always SMASHES expectations. For example, in 2018, David MacNeil, the founder of WeatherTech, paid $70 million for a GTO. The GTO is basically like the Mona Lisa of cars.

Between 1962 and 1964, Ferrari produced thirty-six 250 GTOs. They were originally built to compete at the 24-Hour Le Mans and other high-profile European races. Subsequent models were sold to consumers with a base price of $18,500. That's the equivalent of around $200,000 today. Over the next several decades, GTO prices fluctuated from an all-time low of $2,500 in 1969 to $48k in 1975, $180k in 1980, $300k in 1983, $500k in 1984, and $650k in 1985. One year later, a GTO broke $1 million for the first time. In 1989, a GTO sale broke $10 million for the first time.

Prices dipped a bit in the early 90s. Some sold for as little as $3 million before prices soared back in the early 2000s. Barring some catastrophic economic disaster much worse than 2008 or the Great Depression, you will probably never see a 250 GTO sell for less than $30 million again. It's more likely that within the next decade, a 250 GTO will sell for $100 million.

Series I vs. Series II – 330 GTO vs 250 GTO

When we published our first version of this Ferrari 250 GTO owners list back in November 2014, we stated that Ferrari originally produced 39 250 GTOs and that only 33 were remaining. After doing some additional research and reaching out to a friend who is an expert on these matters, it turns out we were wrong. But when you hear the explanation, you'll understand how we got confused.

First off, between 1962 and 1964, Ferrari produced 36 250 GTOs. We initially stated that Ferrari produced 33. The confusion lies in the distinction between Series I and Series II 250 GTOs. Ferrari produced 33 Series I and three Series II. The three Series II 250 GTOs were produced in 1964 and came with a different design, plus an upgraded chassis and engine. The three Series II GTOs that are missing from the list below have the Chassis numbers 5571GT, 5573GT, and 5575GT.

Interestingly, #5571GT is currently owned by Bruce McCaw, who is Craig McCaw's brother. Chassis #5575GT is owned by Rob Walton. Series II Chassis #5573GT was owned for many years by a French entrepreneur and world-class Ferrari collector named Pierre Bardinon. During his life, Pierre owned THREE GTOs. He owned #3607GT from 1966 to 1968. He sold #5575GT in 1996 to Rob Walton. After he died in 2012, one of his sons sold #5573GT to a Taiwanese collector based in New York for $48 million.

To make this even more confusing, at some point in the 1960s, four of the original Series I 250 GTOs were taken back to the factory and re-bodied in the Series II/GTO '64 style. Those four are Chassis #s #3413, #4091, #4399, and #4675.

And to make matters even more confusing, Ferrari also produced a small number of 4.0-liter cars that are usually referred to as 330 GTOs or 330 LM/GTOs. These cars looked very similar to the 250 GTO but used a larger engine. The best-known example, Chassis #3765LM, sold at RM Sotheby's in November 2023 for $51.705 million. Because the 330 GTO universe is its own rabbit hole, the list below focuses on the 33 Series I Ferrari 250 GTO chassis.

Bottom Line

If you add it all up, 39 cars were made that would look nearly identical to what we all think of as a Ferrari 250 GTO. Since one of the 330s was taken apart by the factory, only 38 remained. Those 38 today consist of:

• 29 Series I cars that still generally retain Series I-style bodies
• 3 Series II cars
• 4 Series I cars that were re-bodied in Series II/GTO '64 style
• 2 330 GTO / 330 LM-GTO-style cars

So, who are the 33 lucky people who own the original Series I Ferrari 250 GTOs today? And how'd they get rich enough to afford the most valuable car in the world? Below is a detailed list of the current Ferrari 250 GTO owners. One important caveat: 250 GTOs trade extremely rarely, and many modern sales happen privately. In a few cases below, the current owner is based on the best available public attribution rather than a public auction announcement or a confirmed bill of sale. One incredibly lucky collector owns TWO 250 GTOs, so technically, there are 32 individual owners of the 33 cars.

Ferrari 250 GTO Current Owners List

1. Chassis#: 3223GT

Owner: Joseph M. Barone and Vanessa Wong, Honesdale, Pennsylvania

Not much is known about the owners of 250 GTO chassis #3223GT. We know their names and that they paid $10.6 million for the car in November 2004. Historically, this car's most famous accomplishment was winning the 1966 Daytona 24-Hour race. Joseph Barone meticulously restored the car for several years after he bought it in 2004. The car won several awards at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, including the prize for "Most Elegant Sportscar."

2. Chassis#: 3387GT

Owner: François Perrodo, London, England

François Perrodo is a French oil executive, endurance racing driver, and major collector whose family fortune comes from Perenco, the international oil and gas company founded by his father, Hubert Perrodo.

This GTO was originally delivered through Luigi Chinetti Motors for Phil Hill and was raced at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its modern ownership history has been unusually dramatic even by GTO standards.

The car was previously owned by Bernard J. Carl. Carl started out as a real estate attorney. In the late 80s, he made a name for himself in finance after becoming one of the leading experts on mortgage-backed securities on Wall Street. He worked for Salomon Brothers before being hired away by billionaire Texas investor Robert M. Bass. Today, Carl is the co-founder of his own firm, Brazos Europe Inc. Over the years, Brazos has invested in everything from Canadian oil to natural gas in Chile to a French luxury linens maker. In 2006, Brazos set up a $300 million fund to specifically acquire family-owned luxury businesses in France.

Bernard Carl purchased his GTO in September 1997 for an undisclosed price. It is known that the previous owner, Dr. Ron Finger of Florida, turned down $3.75 million at some point in the late 90s and specifically wanted a minimum of $4 million.

Bernard Carl sold the car in a private transaction that was later reported at around $44 million. That deal became the subject of a court fight over the car's original gearbox, adding another colorful chapter to the already obsessive world of Ferrari 250 GTO provenance. The car is now publicly associated with Perrodo's collection, which also includes several other extremely important Ferraris and McLarens.

3. Chassis#: 3413GT

Owner: Harry Yeaggy, Cincinnati, Ohio

Chassis #3413GT is one of the four Series I 250 GTOs that went back to the factory to be re-bodied in the Series II/GTO '64 style. That's why this 250 GTO looks slightly different from many of the other cars on this list.

The former owner is Greg Whitten. Whitten bought the GTO in 2000 for $7 million from Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, the former Chairman and CEO of L'Oreal. In August 2018, Whitten sold the car at RM Sotheby's Monterey auction for $48.405 million. At the time, that made it the most expensive car ever sold at public auction.

The buyer was later publicly identified as Harry Yeaggy, a Cincinnati banker, businessman, and major collector. Yeaggy co-owns Union Savings Bank and Guardian Savings Bank and has assembled a private collection that has included some truly extraordinary cars, including the Aston Martin DB5 used by Sean Connery in "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball."

Care to guess how Greg Whitten earned his fortune? After graduating from the University of Virginia, Greg earned a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Harvard. He then got a job at a software company called Compucolor. At Compucolor, Whitten managed to pirate a copy of a rival programming language called Microsoft BASIC. His pirated version was apparently so good that instead of filing infringement charges against Compucolor, Bill Gates offered to forgive the transgression on the condition that Whitten come work for Microsoft.

Whitten worked at Microsoft from 1979 to 1998. He eventually rose to the position of Chief Software Architect. His most important early contribution at Microsoft was the development of the revolutionary programming language "GW-BASIC" for Compaq and IBM in 1983. There is some debate today as to whether the "GW" in the code's name stood for "Greg Whitten," "Gates-Whitten," or even "Gee-Whiz." After earning hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to Microsoft's enormous success, Greg Whitten became a noted vintage car collector. His collection has included a Ferrari F40, F50, Enzo, 275, 250 LM, and more.

4. Chassis#: 3445GT

Owner: Christopher Cox, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Chris Cox is a private investor and philanthropist who lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife Ann. He acquired his 250 GTO in June 2005 for an undisclosed price. The car was originally red but was repainted blue and yellow as an homage to a Swedish driver who raced the car in the 70s. On July 6, 2012, Christopher was driving the car as part of a convoy in France on the way to Le Mans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GTO. Other members of the Ferrari convoy included fellow GTO owners Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and businessman Sir Anthony Bamford. At some point on the way to Le Mans, one of the other GTOs allegedly rear-ended Chris Cox, which pushed his car into an oncoming Hyundai minivan. Christopher's GTO was widely reported as being "totaled," which would have made it the most expensive car crash of all time. Those reports have since been downplayed, but the car was definitely badly damaged.

5. Chassis#: 3451GT

Owner: Lawrence Stroll, Montreal, Canada

Lawrence Stroll is a Canadian fashion mogul who is currently worth $2.4 billion. Early in his career, Stroll struck deals with companies like Pierre Cardin and Ralph Lauren/Polo to license those brands in Canada and Europe. In 1989, he teamed up with a Hong Kong businessman named Silas Chou. Silas and Lawrence developed the Tommy Hilfiger brand from a relatively unknown clothing line to one of the most successful brands of the last 20 years. The duo continues to work together, investing in companies like Karl Lagerfeld, Pepe Jeans, and Michael Kors.

Stroll later became a major force in Formula One. In 2018, he led the investor group that rescued the Force India F1 team, which eventually became Racing Point and then Aston Martin. His son, Lance Stroll, is a Formula One driver who races for Aston Martin, the team controlled by his father.

Lawrence is arguably one of the most prominent Ferrari collectors in the world today. At one point, when he was interviewed in 2012, his car collection included 25 Ferraris. In addition to his 250 GTO, he owns a 330 P4, a 1985 288 GTO, an F40, an F50, an Enzo, and more. He acquired his 250 GTO in November 1996 for an undisclosed price.

6. Chassis#: 3505GT

Owner: Michael J. Cantanucci, Saratoga Springs, New York / Palm Beach, Florida

This car was previously owned by Craig McCaw of Santa Barbara, California. More recent public ownership records attribute 3505GT to Michael J. Cantanucci, a New York and Florida-based automotive retail entrepreneur and collector. The exact date and price of the transfer do not appear to have been publicly disclosed.

Craig McCaw is an extremely forward-thinking businessperson. After graduating from Stanford, he entered the family broadcasting and cable business. He eventually turned the company into the 20th-largest cable carrier in the United States by the early 1980s. Simultaneously, he began investing in the then-brand-new cellular industry. In 1994, he sold McCaw Cellular to AT&T for $11.5 billion. The sale personally netted Craig around $2 billion. Three years later, when he divorced his wife of many years, Wendy McCaw, Craig paid out a $460 million settlement. It was the largest divorce in American history at the time.

In 2012, McCaw bought this especially rare 1962 250 GTO for a then-record-setting $35 million. This particular GTO was originally made for British Formula 1 racing legend Stirling Moss. Moss never raced the car after suffering career-ending injuries in 1962, but the GTO went on to have an impressive racing career that included the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans and several major circuit appearances. It became a hotly desired collector's item thanks to its color and extreme rarity. It's the only 250 GTO that was painted lime green.

7. Chassis#: 3527GT

Owner: Dr. Richard E. Workman, Windermere, Florida

Chassis #3527GT was long associated with Baron Irvine Laidlaw, the Scottish businessman and collector. More recent public ownership records now attribute the car to Dr. Richard E. Workman, the Florida entrepreneur who founded Heartland Dental.

Baron Irvine Laidlaw is a Scottish businessman who has a net worth of $1.3 billion. The son of a mill owner, in the early 70s, Irvine bought a small US publishing company and single-handedly turned it into the world's largest conference organizer. He sold his company, the Institute for International Research (IIR), for $1.2 billion in 2005. Since then, he is probably more famous for being an alleged "Monaco-based UK tax exile." He has also donated large sums of money to the UK's conservative political party and a variety of charities.

Laidlaw's car collection has included a Porsche 904 GTS, a Maserati 250S, a Maserati 6CM, and a Bugatti Veyron. He acquired this 250 GTO in January 2005 for an undisclosed price.

The car is now publicly attributed to Dr. Workman. The transfer appears to have taken place privately, and the sale price has not been publicly confirmed. This GTO was originally built for Austrian owner Gotfrid Koechert and raced in period by Ecurie Francorchamps. Like many 250 GTOs, it has been restored, shown, and toured extensively in the decades since its competition career ended.

8. Chassis#: 3589GT

Owner: Christoph Stieger, Teufen, Switzerland

This car was previously listed as belonging to Engelbert Stieger, the Swiss textile magnate who bought the car in July 1988 for $4.2 million. More recent public owner records now attribute the car to Christoph Stieger, also of Teufen, Switzerland, so this appears to be more of a family succession update than a typical splashy private-market GTO sale.

Engelbert Stieger founded a company in 1962 that became known for producing high-quality curtains and decor materials. Apparently, there is a lot of money in the textile business because Stieger was able to acquire a very impressive car collection over the years.

Chassis #3589GT is one of the most distinctive GTOs. It was originally shipped to Tommy Sopwith's Equipe Endeavour racing team in the UK through Maranello Concessionaires. It's one of only two GTOs that were painted black by the factory.

9. Chassis#: 3607GT

Owner: Robson S. Walton, Bentonville, Arkansas

Rob Walton is the eldest son of Helen Walton and Walmart founder Sam Walton. Walton's $70 billion net worth makes him the wealthiest 250 GTO owner on the planet. He owns approximately 12.6% of Walmart and, as such, is entitled to roughly $800 million a year in cash dividend payments.

His car collection includes a 1965 Shelby Cobra, a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, a 1960 Maserati T60, a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB, a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, and, of course, a 250 GTO. He acquired his 250 GTO in 1996 for an undisclosed price. The seller was French entrepreneur Pierre Bardinon, whom we mentioned at the top of this article.

10. Chassis#: 3647GT

Owner: Chris MacAllister, Indianapolis, Indiana

This car was previously listed as belonging to James McNeil Jr. of Staten Island, New York. McNeil purchased the car in the 1960s, making him one of the longest-running private owners of any Ferrari 250 GTO. More recent public owner records now attribute 3647GT to Chris MacAllister of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Chris MacAllister is an American businessman and former racing driver whose family owns MacAllister Machinery Company, a major Caterpillar equipment dealer based in Indiana. He is also active in historic racing and has owned and raced several important vintage competition cars.

James McNeil bought this GTO in 1967, likely for less than $10,000. Four years before he acquired it, the car crashed during a race at the Nürburgring and was badly damaged. Over time, the car became famous not just because it was a 250 GTO, but because of McNeil's astonishingly long ownership period and the car's reputation as one of the more original examples in the surviving GTO population.

The exact date and price of the MacAllister transfer do not appear to have been publicly disclosed, so this is another update that should be treated as a public attribution rather than a confirmed headline sale.

11. Chassis#: 3705GT

Owner: Ed and Leslie Davies, Coral Gables, Florida

Ed and Leslie Davies are another pair of slightly mysterious GTO owners. They are frequently seen at car events dressed very casually, as if they just came from the beach. At a Florida car rally, a reporter managed to track Ed down for a very brief interview. When asked what he did for a living, Ed replied, "Not much of anything." Their collection includes a 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa, a 290 MM, a black Enzo, an F50, and many more. The Davies acquired their 250 GTO in 1994 for an unknown price.

12. Chassis#: 3729GT

Owner: David Lee, Los Angeles, California

John Shirley owned this GTO for nearly three decades after buying it in 1998 for a reported $6 million. In January 2026, chassis #3729GT crossed the block at Mecum's Kissimmee auction and sold for $38.5 million to Los Angeles-based collector David Lee.

Take a wild guess how John Shirley of Medina, Washington, earned his massive fortune. After attending MIT, Shirley worked for the Tandy Corporation from 1968 to 1983, at which point he was hired by Microsoft. He worked at Microsoft until 1990 and served as a director until 2008. At his peak, he was the President, COO, and Director of Microsoft. In 2001, a Seattle newspaper estimated Shirley's net worth at $582 million.

An avid collector, Shirley's high-tech, climate-controlled garage housed more than 100 cars of significant historic value. His 250 GTO had previously been painted white but was later returned to its original red before once again becoming famous for its factory white history.

The new owner, David Lee, is a Chinese-American entrepreneur, luxury retailer, real estate investor, and one of the most visible Ferrari collectors in the world. He is the Chairman and CEO of the Hing Wa Lee Group, which includes luxury jewelry and watch retail, real estate, and car-related ventures. Before buying this GTO, Lee was already famous for owning the Ferrari "Big Five": the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari. Acquiring a 250 GTO gave him the ultimate Ferrari crown jewel.

This particular GTO is nicknamed "Bianco Speciale" because it is the only 250 GTO delivered from the factory in white. It was originally built for British racing team owner John Coombs and was campaigned by major drivers including Graham Hill, Mike Parkes, Roy Salvadori, Jack Sears, and Richie Ginther. Its $38.5 million auction price was lower than several other modern GTO transactions, likely in part because its original engine was damaged during a 2023 Goodwood incident and replaced, but the car remains one of the most distinctive and historically important 250 GTOs in the world.

13. Chassis#: 3757GT

Owner: Nick Mason, London, England

Outside of being a Ferrari enthusiast, Nick Mason is probably best known for being the drummer of Pink Floyd. Mason has the distinction of being the only member of the hugely successful rock group to remain a member throughout the band's entire history. His net worth is $200 million. In theory, he might be able to significantly increase that net worth if he chose to put his prized 250 GTO on the auction block. Nick purchased his 250 for $54,000 in 1973. The car had four previous owners, starting with the original 1964 British purchaser, Peter Clarke.

And despite the fact that he once turned down $35 million for his car, he still periodically decides to park it on the streets of London:

14. Chassis#: 3767GT

Owner: Anthony Bamford, Oakamoor, England

Sir Anthony Bamford is a British businessman who controls the multi-national conglomerate JCB. JCB is the world's third-largest construction equipment maker, specializing in building machines for agriculture, demolition, digging, excavating, and more. Anthony Bamford's net worth is $4.2 billion.

Bamford is a well-known collector of cars who has a special passion for vintage Ferraris. He is also the only individual in the world who owns TWO 250 GTOs. He acquired his first 250 (Chassis #4399GT) in 1969 and the second one (Chassis #3767GT) in 1974. The final sales prices for both cars are not known. Can you imagine owning TWO Ferrari 250 GTOs??!! This guy must wake up laughing. His second 250 GTO (Chassis #4399GT) is one of the four that were re-bodied from Series I to Series II/GTO '64 style. Here is Chassis# 3767GT:

15. Chassis#: 3769GT

Owner: Anthony Wang, Long Island, New York

Anthony "Tony" Wang is the former president of Computer Associates International Inc., also known as CA Technologies. CA Technologies was founded by Anthony's brother Charles Wang in 1976. It became one of the largest independent software companies in the world and the first software company to achieve $1 billion in annual sales. The Wangs were both born in Shanghai in the early 1940s at a time when the city was under Japanese occupation. The family moved to Queens, New York, and eventually out to Long Island. Charles Wang co-founded CA Technologies when he was just 31 years old. He later owned the New York Islanders hockey team.

Tony Wang and his wife, Lulu, are avid Ferrari collectors. Beginning in the early 1980s, Tony started buying vintage Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, and Maseratis. And he wasn't just storing them in a garage, he was racing them all over the world.

At some point in 1986, Lulu Wang decided she was sick of being a passenger during Tony's races. So she went out and did what any reasonable person would do. She bought herself a Ferrari 250 GTO. Not the one listed above. Lulu bought Chassis#4713GT, which is listed here at #30.

Apparently, Tony wasn't satisfied borrowing his wife's car when he wanted to drive a 250 GTO, so in 1996, he bought himself Chassis#3769GT. Husband and wife matching 250 GTOs, why not!!?? Neither purchase price is known. There were also unsubstantiated rumors floating around the Ferrari world a few years back that the Wangs actually owned THREE GTOs. Those rumors may have started because the person who owns car #25 below is named Brandon Wang. In reality, Brandon is not related to Tony and Lulu.

16. Chassis#: 3809GT

Owner: Ernesto Bertarelli, Switzerland

This car was previously listed as belonging to Hartmut Ibing of Düsseldorf, Germany. More recent public owner records now attribute 3809GT to Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli.

Not much was known publicly about Hartmut Ibing other than that he lived in Düsseldorf and bought his 250 GTO in 1976 for "tens of thousands of dollars." That purchase alone turned out to be one of the greatest collector-car investments of all time.

Ernesto Bertarelli inherited and expanded the fortune behind Serono, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology company built by his family. Bertarelli became CEO in the 1990s and helped grow the company before the family sold Serono to Merck KGaA in a deal worth more than $13 billion. He is also internationally known for sailing through Alinghi, the America's Cup-winning team.

Chassis #3809GT was originally delivered in Switzerland and has long been part of the European collector-car world. Its exact modern transfer history is not as public as the auctioned GTOs, so the safest way to describe the update is that the car is now publicly attributed to Bertarelli rather than claiming a confirmed sale date or price.

17. Chassis#: 3851GT

Owner: Carlos Monteverde, Roma, Italy

Remember in the opening paragraph how we mentioned that the Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the most valuable cars ever sold? Chassis#: 3851GT sold on August 14, 2014, for $38,115,000. This specific 250 GTO was originally built to compete in the 1962 3-liter FIA GT World Championship series. Unfortunately, months before that event took place, the car crashed during a different race. The driver was killed, and the car was badly damaged.

The seller, Fabrizio Violati, had owned the car since 1965. The new owner, Carlos Monteverde, is the son of billionaire philanthropist Lily Safra. Lily Safra earned her $1.2 billion fortune by marrying very well four times. Her most lucrative marriage was to world-famous banker Edmond Safra. Carlos' birth father, Alfredo "Freddy" Monteverde, was the owner of an extremely successful Brazilian appliance company. Freddy committed suicide in 1969 and left his entire estate to Lily with the stipulation that the assets be managed by… Edmond Safra. Lily and Edmond dated for a number of years. In 1972, she married a man named Samuel Bendahan, only to separate after two months. She married Edmond Safra in 1976. Edmond was killed in a fire in 1999 that was started by his bodyguard. Edmond left 50% of his fortune to charity and approximately $800 million to Lily.

18. Chassis#: 3869GT

Owner: Giorgio Perfetti, Lainate, Italy

Giorgio Perfetti and his brother Augusto are Italian candy tycoons who have a combined net worth of $7.5 billion. Their father and uncle founded the company "Perfetti" in 1946. It was the first company to introduce chewing gum to Italians. In 2001, Perfetti acquired the Dutch maker of brands Mentos and Airheads for $900 million. The confectionery and gum maker employs thousands of people through dozens of subsidiaries and distributes its products in more than 130 countries. The press-shy siblings, who are Swiss residents, are no longer involved in day-to-day business operations. Giorgio acquired his 250 GTO in 1989 for an undisclosed price.

19. Chassis#: 3909GT

Owner: John McCaw, United States

This car was previously listed as belonging to John Mozart of Palo Alto, California. More recent public owner records now attribute 3909GT to John McCaw, a member of the McCaw family whose fortune traces to cable television and cellular communications.

John Mozart is a self-made entrepreneur who sold his first company, Eurasian Automotive Products, in 1979 to a company called SKF, which at the time was the world's largest ball bearings manufacturer. After selling Eurasian Automotive Products, Mozart launched a real estate business. Mr. Mozart is a passionate collector who bought his first notable car, a Duesenberg, in 1981. He built his collection very slowly and eventually housed more than 100 significant classic cars in a private museum located next to the Silicon Valley Computer Museum. He acquired this GTO in 1998 for an undisclosed price.

The car's current public attribution to John McCaw is interesting because the McCaw family has deep ties to the elite Ferrari world. Craig McCaw previously owned chassis #3505GT, while Bruce McCaw owns one of the later Series II GTOs. Chassis #3909GT was originally raced in Europe and is historically associated with Swiss driver Jo Siffert. The public record on the modern transfer is limited, so it is better to avoid inventing a sale price or precise transaction date.

20. Chassis#: 3943GT

Owner: Charles E. Nearburg, Dallas, Texas

Charlie Nearburg earned his fortune as the founder of a Dallas-based oil and gas exploration firm that he appropriately called Nearburg Exploration. But oil and gas were just a means to an end. Charlie's dream from a very young age was to become a racecar driver. So when he finally had the means, that's exactly what he became. Charlie raced for many years in a variety of competitions and leagues. He drove the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997 in a Ferrari 333 SP. He retired from professional racing in 2004 after a respectable career. Charlie acquired his 250 GTO from California car dealership mogul Tom Price (who now owns car #31 on this list) for $26 million in 2010. Tom bought the car in 1983 from the Maserati distributor of France, who had recently died. Here is an interview with Tom in which he discussed the history of the car:

21. Chassis#: 3987GT

Owner: Ralph Lauren, Long Island, New York

Fashion mogul Ralph Lauren has one of the most famous car collections in the world. His collection of 200+ cars includes pretty much every desirable vintage and contemporary car you could ever dream of. He literally owns dozens of Ferraris, with a special emphasis on those from the 60s, 70s, and 90s. He owns a 1996 McLaren F1, a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gull-Wing Coupe, a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Scaglietti, a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, a 1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa… and many more. Way too many to list here properly. Ralph acquired his 250 GTO in 1985 for $650,000.

22. Chassis#: 4091GT

Owner: Peter G. Sachs, Stamford, Connecticut

Peter Sachs's grandfather, Samuel Sachs, is the "Sachs" in "Goldman Sachs." After attending Harvard undergrad and NYU for business school, Peter somehow landed a job at Goldman Sachs. No idea how he pulled that off. He spent 37 years at the company before retiring as a director. At some point along the way, he began collecting and racing cars. Peter acquired his 250 GTO in 1981 through a trade. He traded his 275 GTB Speciale for the GTO, which was owned by a Chicago company called Joe Marchetti's International Auto Ltd. Peter Sachs' 250 GTO is one of the four Series I models that was re-bodied in the Series II/GTO '64 style.

23. Chassis#: 4115GT

Owner: Paul Vestey, Alresford, Hants, England

Sir Paul Edmund Vestey is the third Baronet of England's Vestey Baronetcies. A Baron is a hereditary title of honor bestowed by a European King or Queen. The Vestey Baronetcy was created in 1921 for Sir Edmond Vestey, Paul's grandfather. Edmond was the founder of Blue Star Line, a British passenger and cargo shipping conglomerate. Edmond's great-great-grandson, Paul's second cousin, is "Thor" actor Tom Hiddleston. Paul acquired his 250 GTO in 1981 for an undisclosed price.

Chassis#: 4153GT (Mike Hewitt /Allsport)

24. Chassis#: 4153GT

Owner: David MacNeil

David MacNeil earned his fortune as the owner of the automobile accessory company WeatherTech. David paid $70 million for his 250 GTO in June 2018, setting the record for the most expensive Ferrari ever sold. The seller was German entrepreneur Christian Gläsel. Gläsel is the Chairman of a private German company called Weidmueller, which manufactures machines and production lines that are used by companies to build everything from cars to refrigerators to tablets. Weidmueller generated $800 million in revenue in 2013 and currently employs over 4,600 people. The company was founded by Christian's great-grandfather in 1850. Christian competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1999 and 2000. He acquired his 250 GTO in 2003 for an undisclosed price.

25. Chassis#: 4219GT

Owner: Brandon Wang, London

Not much is known about the source of Brandon Wang's fortune. What is known is that he has used his wealth over the years to acquire a highly admirable car collection. He bought his 250 GTO for $3.5 million in 1993. In 2011, he purchased a 250 TR for $25 million. Here's a video of his black 250 GTO:

26. Chassis#: 4293GT

Owner: William E. "Chip" Connor, Incline Village, Nevada

Chip Connor's father founded "William E. Connor & Associates," a company that manufactures everything from garments and home textiles to furniture, toys, and stationery. William Jr., better known as Chip, took over the company in the early 1980s and soon moved the entire operation to Hong Kong. Today, he is worth $1.1 billion.

Chip acquired his 250 GTO in 2002 for a rumored $9 million. In 2000, a Ferrari historian called this particular Chassis "the very best Ferrari 250 GTO in the world with the most significant history. Additionally, despite being a pure race car, this GTO has never been seriously crashed or modified."

27. Chassis#: 4399GT

Owner: Anthony Bamford, Oakamoor, UK

As noted above, Sir Anthony Bamford is the only individual collector on this list who owns two 250 GTOs. He acquired Chassis #4399GT in 1969 and Chassis #3767GT in 1974. Chassis #4399GT is one of the four Series I cars that was later re-bodied in the Series II/GTO '64 style.

28. Chassis#: 4491GT

Owner: Publicly attributed to Johann Rupert, South Africa / Switzerland

This car was previously listed as belonging to Giuseppe Lucchini of Brescia, Italy. More recent public owner records now attribute 4491GT to Johann Rupert, the South African billionaire best known as the chairman of Richemont, the luxury goods empire behind brands such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Montblanc.

Giuseppe Lucchini is the Chairman of the industrial conglomerate Lucchini RS. The company, which was founded by Giuseppe's father, Luigi, specializes in building high-technology steel products such as railway tracks. It generates hundreds of millions of dollars a year in revenue and is privately owned by the Lucchini family. Giuseppe purchased his 250 GTO in 1981 for an undisclosed price from British Formula One driver David Piper.

Chassis #4491GT was originally delivered in right-hand-drive configuration and has been rebodied several times during its life, making it one of the more complicated cars in the GTO family from a bodywork/provenance perspective. Because the reported transfer to Rupert does not appear to have been publicly documented with a confirmed sale date or price, the safest language is that the car is publicly attributed to Rupert.

29. Chassis#: 4675GT

Owner: Claudio Roddaro, Monaco

This car was previously listed as belonging to the Lionshead West Collection in the United States. More recent public owner records now attribute 4675GT to Claudio Roddaro, a Monaco-based collector known for owning and restoring historically significant Ferraris.

I couldn't find much information about the "Lionshead West Collection." Whoever was behind the collection purchased the 250 GTO in 2013 from Swiss collector Jean-Pierre Slavic for a reported but unconfirmed $42 million in a private sale.

Before that, this car had been owned by British broadcaster and Ferrari collector Chris Evans, who reportedly bought it in 2010 in a deal valued at roughly $17 million. Chassis #4675GT was originally delivered to Pasquale Annunziata in Rome and raced in the 1963 Tour de France Automobile with Guido Fossati. It was also raced at the 1964 Targa Florio with Jean Guichet and later by Luigi Taramazzo.

Public owner records now say the car was sold in 2024 to Claudio Roddaro. The price does not appear to have been publicly confirmed. This is one of the four Series I GTOs that was re-bodied in the Series II/GTO '64 style.

30. Chassis#: 4713GT

Owner: Lulu Wang, Ronkonkoma, New York

See the description under car #15.

31. Chassis#: 4757GT

Owner: Tom Price, San Francisco, California

Tom Price is the Northern California car dealership mogul whom we mentioned as the previous owner of car #20 in this list. Price worked his way through the University of Colorado and then got a job with Ford for eight years. He bought his first dealership in 1976. Today, the Price Family Dealerships owns and operates Volvo, Toyota, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Infiniti, and Jaguar dealerships in upscale Marin County. He also owns dealerships in Sacramento and Sunnyvale. Here's a video of Tom parking his 250 at a local car show a few years back:

32. Chassis#: 5095GT

Owner: National Museum of Qatar

This car was previously listed as belonging to Carlos Hank Rhon of Mexico, who reportedly acquired it in a 2013 private sale for $32 million. More recent public owner records now attribute 5095GT to the National Museum of Qatar.

Carlos Hank Rhon is a Mexican businessman who has a net worth of $1.9 billion. Carlos was born to a family that controlled 93% of the Mexican financial group Grupo Financiero Interacciones. Carlos and his sons have also been reportedly linked to corruption, money laundering, and the drug trade. Hank reportedly purchased this 250 GTO from French entrepreneur Pierre Bardinon.

Chassis #5095GT has an important racing history. It finished second overall at the 1963 Tour de France Automobile and has long been considered one of the more significant later Series I GTOs. The car was also involved in a traffic accident that left the front of the car severely damaged, though like virtually every surviving GTO, it was too valuable and historically important not to be repaired.

The attribution to the National Museum of Qatar fits a broader pattern of Qatar building major cultural and automotive collections. Because the exact title structure of cars held by museums, royal-family-related collections, or affiliated entities can be opaque, the safest owner line is "National Museum of Qatar" unless a more precise legal owner is publicly confirmed.

33. Chassis#: 5111GT

Owner: Undisclosed

This car was previously listed as belonging to the mysterious Torrota Collection of Spain, but that attribution has always been difficult to verify. More conservative current owner records list the owner simply as unknown or undisclosed.

Very little is known about the buyer who acquired GTO chassis #5111GT in 2013. The seller was longtime owner Paul Pappalardo, and the reported sale price was $52 million. That number has not been definitively confirmed, but if accurate, it was one of the highest prices ever paid for a car at the time.

Chassis #5111GT is especially desirable because of its competition history. It was originally delivered to French driver Jean Guichet, who raced the car with great success. Most notably, Guichet and José Behra won the 1963 Tour de France Automobile in this car, making it one of the most historically important 250 GTOs. Unless stronger proof emerges identifying the current owner, the cleanest and safest way to handle this car is to say that the buyer remains undisclosed.

34. Series II Chassis#: 5571GT

Owner: Bruce McCaw, Washington

Chassis #5571GT is one of the three factory-built 1964 Series II Ferrari 250 GTOs. Its current owner is publicly attributed as Bruce McCaw, the brother of Craig McCaw, who previously owned the famous lime-green Stirling Moss 250 GTO, chassis #3505GT.

Bruce McCaw comes from the same telecom fortune as Craig. The McCaw family made an enormous amount of money through cable television and cellular communications, most famously through McCaw Cellular, which was sold to AT&T for $11.5 billion in 1994. Bruce has long been known in car-collector circles as a serious vintage Ferrari and racing-car collector.

Chassis #5571GT has one of the strongest competition histories of the three factory Series II cars. In 1964, a GTO '64 won the Daytona Continental with Phil Hill and Pedro Rodríguez driving for N.A.R.T., giving the Series II body style its most famous racing result. Among 250 GTO obsessives, #5571GT is generally associated with that achievement, making it not merely one of the rarest GTOs, but one of the most important late-period GTO competition cars.

35. Series II Chassis#: 5573GT

Owner: Undisclosed Taiwanese Collector, New York

Chassis #5573GT is another of the three factory-built Series II Ferrari 250 GTOs. It was owned for many years by Pierre Bardinon, the legendary French Ferrari collector who built one of the greatest private Ferrari collections in the world at his Mas du Clos estate in central France.

Bardinon was an heir to the Chapal leather and fur fortune, but in car circles he is remembered for something much more fun: he created his own private race circuit, Circuit du Mas du Clos, and assembled a Ferrari collection that became almost mythical. At various points, Bardinon owned multiple 250 GTOs, including #3607GT, #5573GT, and #5575GT.

After Bardinon died in 2012, #5573GT became the subject of a bitter family dispute. His son Patrick Bardinon sold the car in 2014 for a reported €38 million to a Taiwanese buyer. That sale prompted litigation from Patrick's siblings, Anne and Jean-François, who argued that the transaction had harmed the family inheritance. In 2020, an appeals court in Limoges ruled in their favor and ordered Patrick to pay €52.3 million into the common inheritance fund.

The buyer has generally been described publicly as a Taiwanese collector based in New York, but I have not seen a strong enough source to name the person definitively. For that reason, the cleanest and safest owner line is "Undisclosed Taiwanese Collector, New York."

36. Series II Chassis#: 5575GT

Owner: Robson S. Walton, Bentonville, Arkansas

Chassis #5575GT is the third factory-built Series II Ferrari 250 GTO. Its current owner is Robson S. Walton, the eldest son of Walmart founder Sam Walton.

Walton already appears in the main list above as the owner of Series I chassis #3607GT. That means if you count the three factory-built Series II cars, Walton owns two Ferrari 250 GTOs. The only other person in the main list with two GTOs is Sir Anthony Bamford, who owns #3767GT and #4399GT.

Before Walton acquired #5575GT, the car belonged to Pierre Bardinon, the French collector mentioned above. Bardinon sold #5575GT to Walton in 1996. Like the other Series II cars, #5575GT has the revised 1964 bodywork that makes it look closer to Ferrari's 250 LM than the earlier Series I GTOs. It is one of the rarest variants in the entire GTO family, and its ownership by Walton gives him one of the most extraordinary Ferrari collections in the world.

Conclusion

So there you have it! This is officially the longest article I've ever written. It also took three straight days of writing and research. I hope you enjoyed it! Maybe someday enough people will visit Celebrity Net Worth to allow me to buy my own 250 GTO. Or at least pay someone to take me for a ride in one.
