$100,000?

the boys at the Top Gear Technology Centre could have gotten it done for a fiver!

certainly didn't mean for this to turn into an economic or moral debate. I'm sure these two allocate some of their wealth in the way of philanthropy, so what's the harm in also having a little fun?

yeah i see your point about how they give their wealth, thats good.

however, most people do not know about their philanthropy. and this just looks bad from the surface...

Jay forgot the fender vents.



It was so close to perfection.

Other millionaires/billionaires that would want the car for a showroom or a museum. I'm sure many would bid on the vehicle just for the mere fact that Jay-Z was involved in the process of the transformation.

When it comes to marketing a product (whether he's an official spokesman or not), Jay-Z is like E.F. Hutton... everyone listens! He may have just rescued a dying brand in Maybach with this stunt.
