CNN —A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO has sold for $51.705 million, becoming the most expensive car from the Italian manufacturer ever sold at auction. “Now, it ranks among the most expensive cars sold at auction, a true testament to its singular place in history,” he added. Only 39 examples of the 250 GTO were built by the legendary Italian marque between 1962 and 1964, and it’s extremely rare for an owner to part with one at any price. Renowned car collector David MacNeil, founder and CEO of automotive floor-mat company WeatherTech, bought chassis number 4153 GT for $70 million in 2018. “The Ferrari 250 GTO is the motoring market’s equivalent of Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ and a talisman for any top-end collection,” said Knight.

The long-awaited rule is expected to require that real estate professionals such as title insurers report the identities of the beneficial owners of companies buying real estate in cash to the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Criminals have for decades anonymously hidden ill-gotten gains in real estate, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in March, adding that as much as $2.3 billion was laundered through U.S. real estate between 2015 and 2020. That debate has slowed down FinCEN's work on the real estate reporting rule, one of the sources said. PATCHWORKWhile banks have long been required to understand the source of customer funds and report suspicious transactions, no such rules exist nationwide for the real estate industry. FinCEN implemented GTOs in 2016 after the New York Times revealed that nearly half of luxury real estate was bought by anonymous shell companies.

Trei mașini concept din ani '50 au fost scoase la licitație cu o valoare estimată de până la 20 de milioane de dolari. Mașinile unice, care reprezintă concepte de inginerie și proiectare pionieră a anilor '50, sunt scoase la licitație ca un singur lot. Mașinile nu au fost prezentate niciodată împreună în anii 1950 și au fost vândute mai apoi unor colecționari separați. În 2018, un Ferrari 250 GTO din 1962 s-a vândut cu 48,4 milioane de dolari la vânzarea anuală de mașini de colecție RM Sotheby's Monterey, un record mondial pentru o mașină vândută vreodată la o licitație. GTO a câștigat campionatul italian din 1962 GT și a obținut peste 15 victorii în cursă din 1962 până în 1965.
