    congrats, but i can't help but think where i'd be today if i had that kind of capital to invest at age 22

    enjoy the car, but know it comes at a great opportunity cost to expand and further your footprint

    This sounds like BS. I am with the others who are skeptical of this story. More likely these are his father's cars.

    I'm 25 with a 2012 turbo s. Got that way from a prop trading firm/RIA I started.

    This is an example of what to do when you don't BS your life story ^ :)

    If OP had an app, he would want to get attention to that app any way he could (like my above statement). I call BS. If I had an app that made money, I'd market the hell out of that thing. Traffic drives sales in the online world. More people see your product, the more likely someone will pay that dollar to download, or download for free and you generate revenue from ads.

    Also I don't think any true somewhat intelligent entrepreneur would blow their cash on a 458 right off the bat. Usually the first step is to get a home for yourself, grow your business, invest, have cash saved, THEN spend the rest on whatever you want. Especially if your family is relying on your income, and the app business is quite fickle unless you just invented the next angry birds.

    Agreed, there are a lot of these stories which, I think are nonsense. Others you get are people saying they're young kids and they want to know what you do and how much you earn etc. to get your cars. I'm constantly surprised that people take them seriously.

    I had a feeling from the beginning this would happen with this thread. My initial gut feeling was skepticism.

    I didn't want to put this video up but you guys leave me no choice xD. Here's my dads reaction on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JrBf_CfndI

    Stop hating just because you're 3 years older with a financed porsche turbo s, both my cars are paid in cash. P.s. Here's the Jeep grand cherokee 2015 I bought my mom for Christmas: https://instagram.com/p/xCXKkNrjhP/


    Edit: For everyone else leaving positive comments, thank you so much!!

    Car is paid, sorry. I don't like debt. But even if I did finance it, what's wrong with paying 2% interest? If the Fed wants to keep rates low so money is cheap why not take advantage of it? The fact that you make such an ignorant comment also discredits yourself as someone who is not financially sound, you don't even understand basic economics/finance. As I said before, buy a home, build your business, invest, keep some tucked away for emergency, then you can have a stash of cash for fun. Also make sure if your family relies on you that you have a pool of money just for them in case your app plateaus. I'm done with this joker. Have fun guys :).

    As ignorant as my comment may have been, nothing tops yours. How could you say that my story is BS just because you aren't doing as well? How can you assume I don't have a home or other investment property? If you read what I posted before you would know that the house in all those pictures is mine. Keep your financial advice to yourself, I'm doing just fine.

    You REALLY need a car to get ----? I am sorry for him and empathize with you, because the --- will last only as long as the car and she will take him tire by tire (lol). Best

    Why not give the name of the app?
    And why the show off about our father past and other cars that you give away to your family?

    I was skeptical from the beginning.
    The neighbor or the real millionaire is laughing all the way to the bank.
    Sorry for the typo.

    Haha! You really can never judge a person's worth based on what they drive or the house they live in. I have a close family friend, much older than I am, who pulls in 10 maybe 15x what I make and lives in a house as small as my neighbors driving a 1992 Toyota corolla. I think he takes it to the extreme with the car as far as safety, but he doesn't like the complexities that come in the newer models.

    It is an extreme example but look at Warren Buffet!

    Any teenager should read the book:
    "The millionaire next door" IMHO
    No interest involved.

    As a matter of fact it is great reading for anyone.
    Should be a requirement at schools!

    Read it many years ago. I have bought at lease 4 copies and mailed to friends, nephew and cousins. A great read.
