John O’Quinn pays $335,000 for Batman Forever Batmobile
Remember John O’Quinn? That Houston Attorney who made a fortune in a multibillion dollar Texas tobacco settlement?
This time he went on to spend $335,000 on a Batmobile used in the film “Batman Forever.” Some other purchases he has made at the auction include a 1938 Cadillac Town Car used by Pope Pius XII which he bought for $250,000, a 1941 Packard limousine used by President Franklin D. Roosevelt for $290,000 and a celebrity-signed 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo for $500,000.
All proceeds from the sale went to benefit those groups which develop educational programs aimed at preventing child abuse, abduction, exploitation and injury.
And don’t miss this one – O’Quinn paid $690,000 at a Kruse auction in Las Vegas last year for a 1975 Ford Escort GL once owned by Pope John Paul II.
2054 model-year car, Lexus on eBay for $88,000
Remember Steven Spielberg’s film “Minority Report”? Or do you atleast remember the luxury auto brand Lexus which featured as the car of the future in the movie?
So yeah, this car was up for sale on eBay at an asking price of $88,000, but alas! It has been sold out.
According to the seller, the 2054 model-year car, which is one of only three made by Lexus, is about the same size as a Chrysler 300 and has only 38 miles on it since it was built. The car boasts a six-cylinder Chevy engine–which is 47,000 miles old–and comes with a manual transmission.
Bernard Madoff's luxury yachts and Mercedez Benz to go under the hammer
Federal agents will be auctioning off Bernard Madoff’s possessions – that include several luxury yachts and a Mercedez Benz “” on Tuesday in Ft. Lauderdale at an auction held by U.S. Marshals Service.
The auction will also include four vessels and one vehicle – a black 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 convertible, which has just 12,800 miles on the odometer. The most anticipated item is Madoff’s M/V the Bull, a 55-foot 1969 Rybovich custom-built sport-fisherman. The other vessels are Madoff’s 38-foot Shelter Island runabout, named “Sitting Bull,” and a 24-foot Maverick center console named “Little Bull.” There is also a 61-foot Viking fishing yacht formerly owned by Madoff’s ex-chief financial officer, Frank DiPascali.
All proceeds from the sale will go towards the victims of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.
Antoine Preziuso’s Mega Tourbillon is worth $310,000
Known to be one of the world’s largest wrist watch tourbillon, The Mega Tourbillon priced at $310,000 is fabricated by master watchmaker Antoine Preziuso.
Preziuso manufactured this tourbillion to commemorate the opening of his new boutique at the Dubai Burj Al Arab hotel.
Specifications:
- 65 mm watch
- Dial: hand engraved in pink gold
- Titanium and pink gold case
The most striking feature for me has been the use of lighter metal as titanium to make the watch wearable.
Reevu helmet launched with integrated rear-view system
While a rear-view helmet might sound like a technology developed for marines in combat zones, our over congested roads are no better than the war zones where bikers are the most vulnerable. However, Reevu’s MSX1 helmet with an integrated rear-view mirror system will be a lifesaver for everyday commuters and probably for professional racers. To make this all possible, Reevu’s MSX1 helmet relies on an entirely mechanical mechanism rather than rear-view cameras. The innovative technology that took 10 years in development has a built-in 180 degree unbreakable rear-view mirror system that allows the rider to see the road behind, thereby improving the situational awareness. It would be obvious to think that the improved technology would come with added weight, but the Reevu MSX1 helmet is nicely balanced along with the availability of a custom-fit helmet to the owner’s head.
