Correct. He is donating the entire proceeds to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI.
One of the best design schools in the world.
From the catalog:
Proceeds from the sale of this LaFerrari will benefit the College for Creative Studies. Based in Detroit, Michigan, it is one of the nation’s premier arts education institutions. With a current enrollment of over 1,400 undergraduates, the college believes deeply in the power of creativity to improve people’s lives and offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 13 fields and a Master of Fine Arts in four.

Named “one of the best design schools in the world” by Businessweek Magazine and the number three design school in the U.S. by LinkedIn, many of its graduates find careers in the automotive industry. Its alumni include Ralph Gilles, Global President of Product Design, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles; Kevin Hunter, President of Calty Design Research, Toyota Motor Corporation’s North American design studio; Joel Piaskowski, Head of Car and Crossover Design for Ford of Europe; and Crystal Windham, Director of Interior Design for Cadillac.

Making a difference beyond the walls of the institution itself, the College for Creative Studies provides career opportunities to students from inner-city Detroit through its free, neighborhood art education programs and design-focused K-12 charter school; helping design-driven businesses start up and grow through its economic development office; and enriching Detroit’s cultural life through its exhibitions and public programs. Furthermore, the College for Creative Studies was instrumental in helping the city of Detroit to be named the first and only UNESCO City of Design in the U.S.

 

Gotta turn out all those new car designers!
