Sammy Hagar just provided another example of how there’s only one way to rock.
His recipe: Have a ball but keep to life’s speed limit, easy on the drugs, heavy on the rock ‘n’ roll, and – above all – go all in on smart business decisions.
His latest score? Selling his prized 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari at auction Saturday at the fabled Barrett-Jackson gathering in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Hagar bought the supercar – customized in a rare creamy cappuccino color, among other things – new from the iconic Italian automaker for around the then-staggering MSRP of $1.4 million . He just passed the vehicle along to its next happy owner at a hammer price of $4.25 million. Not a bad gain. At press time, the buyer’s name was not available, as is often the case with multi-million-dollar vehicle sales.
“Quite honestly, it was exhausting being part of the bidding war,” Hagar told USA TODAY shortly after the auction concluded. “I’m thinking the whole time, do I really want to do this? Seller’s remorse and all. When that gavel came down and they said ‘Sold!,’ I wasn’t sure if I was heartbroken or relieved. What an experience.”
