    Rapper The Game buys leather Ferrari!

    So, here we are, with a topic that might seem a bit uninteresting: a Ferrari F430, so not the latest model, wrapped in matte black, not the craziest color in the world. So, why have we chosen this one?

    Well, the vehicle we are talking about belongs to rapper The Game, who wanted to have his ride covered in... leather, as we found out from the adjacent Instagram pic. The job is done and now he’ll be wondering the streets of LA in his Leatherarri, on which he spent $200,000/ (EUR164,000 at the current exchange rate).

    Heart pumping antifreeze as I stand here.

    just because they aren't on the radio, doesnt mean they're not doing well.
    plus, these artists are huge in other countries

    Just because you bought an expensive, fast, flashy car does not mean you can drive it well.

    This is gonna gery really funny, really fast.
    The buyer is a rapper/musician from California.
    The Ferrari 430 is a Euro-spec grey market vehicle.
    I don't see how the buyer is planning on importing that car without spending alot more money.

    Most likely, that Ferrari will not follow its owner back to California.
    Funny.

    Wikipedia tells me he's released 9 albums (5 studio, and 4 independent) and 9 mixtapes since 2004. There are 14 released singles where he's the lead performer, 8 singles as "featured" and 69 tracks where he's guest performer another song. Dude's getting paid for a pretty prolific body of work.

    He also put out an album last year that was #1 on the Billboard 200. That's enough to bankroll a Ferrari right there.

    His last album was successful, as is most albums under the direction of Dr. Dre. He recently signed with YMCMB which will probably mean much more of the same. The music won't be as good but it will be on played every pop station from here to Japan. So his money should be flowing well for the foreseeable future.
