I think for a new Ferrari there’s a fair chance it’s salaried individuals. There are quite a few folks who probably make enough to purchase a $400k-$800k car from their salaries. For ultra rare or special variants I think it’s unlikely as the percentage of someone’s net worth would likely be entirely consumed by the vehicle even at several million dollars a year. An example is an Enzo that sold this year for $17.6 million: https://www.thesupercarblog.com/ferrari-enzo-sells-for-a-rec...

FWIW—- that whole collection of cars, including the Enzo are 1 of 1 builds and it’s still shocking someone paid that much for a car with an absolutely heinous interior. I get it is unique, but it’s crazy someone paid that much for the privilege of owning the ugliest interior ever put in an Enzo. Reminds of the Ronald McDonald Viper from the mid 90s.
