Dr. Herbert “Herbie” Wertheim just acquired Chassis 0 Ferrari Luce, the winning $40 million bid was a staggering 36 times its original auction estimate. At the exact same Monterey Car Week auction one year prior, Dr. Wertheim set the previous record by buying a Tailor Made Ferrari Daytona SP3 for $26,000,000.

These incredible multi-million dollar purchases are actually an extension of his philanthropy. Every single dollar from these specific auctions goes directly to The Ferrari Foundation to fund educational initiatives

Dr Wertheim is a famed optometrist, inventor, billionaire businessman and major philanthropist. Known as one of the greatest individual investors you have likely never heard of, he built an estimated fortune of $4.6 billion. He achieved this through a mix of breakthrough medical inventions and a lifetime of patient stock market investing.

Born in Philadelphia in 1939 to working-class parents, his family later moved to Florida, where they lived above a bakery. In 1969, he was the first to discover that ultraviolet (UV) light causes cataracts and damages human eyes.

He then invented the first UV-absorbing dye for plastic eyeglass lenses. He founded Brain Power Inc. (BPI), which grew into the world’s largest manufacturer of optical tints and ophthalmic chemicals. He holds more than 100 patents and copyrights.

Instead of spending his profits, Dr. Wertheim funnelled his business earnings straight into the stock market starting in 1970. He bought large amounts of Apple and Microsoft stock during their Initial Public Offerings and is the largest individual shareholder in Heico, a massive aerospace and electronics firm.

His other donations include:

1. $100 million to Baptist Health South Florida, May 2026.

2. $50 million to University of Florida

3. $50 million to UC Berkeley

4. $100 million to University of Florida Health

My guess is they are worth atleast $15 million right now.

What do you guys think?

The 849TR looks way more fresh and futuristic than all the generic looking supercars revealed at Car week.

This includes the Alfa Romeo lookalike Mclaren, the Ford Mustang lookalike Aston, the Chiron facelift Tourbillion, the rebodied Bolide, the Revuelto with a wing, the Mclaren F1 copy paste GMA-S and the Koenigsegg from 20 years ago.

Notable exceptions: Czinger spyder, Henessey Black Bird.

Do you guys agree?

Considering Sp3 owners turning down $12m offers privately, will this reach $15m?

I thought the wing can't be extended at rest. Idk how they did it.

Developed in 1986 by Ferrari and their technical partner Michelotto, the car was engineered for the FIA Group B circuit and tarmac rally regulations. However, it never got to compete due to the sudden cancellation of the category following a series of fatal accidents that same year.

The project focused entirely on raw performance and aerodynamics rather than aesthetics. The carbon fiber rear wing, front cooling ducts, and mechanical packaging directly evolved into the visual and structural architecture of the F40
