Jerry Seinfeld has just become even more rich than he already was after he auctioned off 17 cars and received over $22 million for them. Seinfeld sold 15 Porsches and two Volkswagens on March 11 at the Gooding & Co. auction house and he raked in $22,244,500.
LA Times reports there was a bidding war for his 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder and it ended up selling for over $5 million alone.
Seinfeld made an appearance at the auction, which might’ve helped him sell all but one car – his Carrera GT concept car, which is one of two made.
TMZ reports Seinfeld made shy of the $28 million he was predicted to make by selling his rare Porsches and Volkswagens, but he still made a killing.
Last month he said of auctioning off his cars, "The reason I wanted to bid these cars farewell in this way is really just to see the look of excitement on the faces of the next owners who I know will be out of their minds with joy that they are going to get to experience them.”
