I was going to start off today by talking about some near-death experiences of Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 owners but there are some more important matters I need to bring to your attention first.

As we have often discussed, ordinary people can't be trusted with money. For instance, Kylie and Shane from Logan in Brisbane win the Lotto jackpot of $50m. They immediately buy two matching Holden Commodores or Camrys for $70k, the Clarendon Baysider 39 four-bedder at 24 Spinnaker Boulevard in Newport for $1.1m and the rest disappears to greedy kids, relos, friends and various investment advisers. What a waste!

But let's take the case of Michael Gu, the founder of the iProsperity Group, which our property sleuths, Lisa Allen and Ben Wilmot, tell us went belly up owing a lazy $350m.

KPMG said the company became insolvent in July 2019 and that it failed due to potential misuse of investor funds by the company and the director, Mr Gu, potential improper conduct of the director, high cash use including the transfer of funds to related entities, and poor financial control including lack of records.

But clearly iProsperity knew how to invest its money. Mick Gu appears to have had the use of a 2017 Rolls Royce Wraith, a 2015 McLaren Spider, a 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB, an Audi, a Lambo sports car and a Lambo Urus SUV. He was no slouch in the speed department with NSW's fun police claiming they are looking for traffic fines worth $34,000.

There's no doubt the Volkswagen-owned Lambo has become the brand for young professionals, property developers and business owners. Folks who earn their money the hard way. So, in the global HQ of the international narcotics industry, the Mexican state of Sinaloa, many upwardly mobile young lads have taken up the fast-growing hitman profession and have as their business idol the billionaire drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. They cruise around the local pueblos and ciudades in Ferraris and Lamborghinis with their windows down, music at full volume and guns at the ready.

Fortunately, if you have a bit of spare cash laying under the bed, there's an opportunity to either buy Mick's Urus for around $360k or a classic 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV Speciale for $3m. Now this Lambo, the first supercar, came from a time when really rich people who got their money from real business were the buyers.
