Same. The more I've looked into them and the whole industry, I can get the motorsport side to it but for a lot of rich people, they just seem to be status symbol items. Then you have all of the real costs on top like maintenance, insurance, the fact you'll probably not want to flog the car (do it's purpose justice) as it'll more than likely lead to very expensive repair work - and don't forget the expensive of housing such a car (you really do need to spend up big for a garage or warehouse to store them securely).

From what I can tell, a lot of owners that have a range of supercars/hypercars just end up leaving them in storage and seldom using them anyway. Unless you're someone that is on one of the major manufacturers exclusivity lists, you're not likely to get a model that is unique and rare enough for it's value to sky rocket so it's really not uncommon for owners to maybe only use it until it hits a really low km range, then sell before the price plummets - basically, just very expensive cars with staggering depreciation unless you're able to get one with significant enough rarity, or you get lucky.
