A million dollar car doesn't make sense in any situation, there is nothing that car can do to justify paying that much. I can go buy a $50k Lexus or BMW that will do what I need it to and it will last for several years. A you realize how much property you can buy for a million dollars? And again how does Wyclef make money other to shows these days? I could be wrong but I think 911 was his last hit song and that had to be like 2002.
Of course you can buy a cheaper car but if you can afford it why not get the million dollar car?. When you have money like that its about enjoying life to the fullest, not just living. If he loves cars, he should get one he always dreamed of.
Wyclef bought it when he was hot so he most likely made that money back as soon as he bought the car. He produced songs that were hits for whitney houston, carlos santana, and other people that sold millions of records, and were played everywhere so he was paid. Plus before that the fugees a,bum sold 10,000,000 records, and they toured the world. Then at least two of his solo album sold multiplatinum as well. Then add to that he produced most of these albums, so his publishing is on point. Then add to that he toured off of thlse albums so that was more money. He also owns a house in miami and probably has other properties, as well as business's. He co-owned platinum studios. You are looking at life through the eyes of a regular person, wyclef made a million dollars off of a few songs. He had hits.
If he bought the car now, I would say that is a dumb move but back then, naw. If I'm worth 50 million, spending one million on a rare car isn't going to hurt me. It won't depreciate that much in value, this is what you aren't getting. He might lose a few thousand but its not like buying a Benz and in a few years its worth little to nothing because they came out with a new one every two years.
