A man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer.
He told the loan officer that he was going to Philippines on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.
Then the man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.Two weeks later, the guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.
The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000″.
The millionaire replied: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return”
Well thats how the rich stay rich, they know a lot more about Money Management. All the millionaires I have met in my life were penny wise. Look after your cents and the Dollars will look after themselves.

Hey Robin,
Thanks for the laugh but it is true thats how the millionaire mindset works. They are quick to find out the best deals and are not afraid to act on it to enjoy the benefit!

I’ve heard this story before, told as a kind of anti-blonde-joke blonde joke. Still a nice little anecdote, though.

This is off topic, but hey, I love your new header.
It’s not perfect. But then, let me put it this way: “Perfection is boring.” You always remember a person with a scar on his cheek.
Plus, you never have to be perfect to love or be loved.
You get what I’m trying to say!
August 13th, 2007 at 5:55 am
Check and cover every ground and reap every possible merits and profits … that’s the distinction between the mindsets of millionaires and the non-millionaires. BTW, I’m re-reading Harv Eker’s Secrets of Millionaire Minds and still believe I got a long way to go. How we think becomes how we say and that transform to how we act. Continuous doing leads to habit. For millionaires, it’s just a habit to prosper at every available opportunity.
August 13th, 2007 at 6:10 pm
nahhhhhhhhhhhhh, im not buyin it,,,,,like the rich guy WOULD’NT have ANYPLACE to park a ferrari,,,, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight,,just another ”cute story” that sounds like it mighta, coulda, shoulda happened,,,,
August 13th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Thanks Robin, good laugh.
Now we know a millionaire’s life is not just about fast cars and lifestyle. They clearly won’t stay millionaires if that’s all they care about. At the expense of appearing cheap (sometimes), they do go for the best deals in town.
Now we all know where to park our Ferrari when we own one

This is exactly how not to become a millionaire.
This is terrible advice and this is how people stay middle class and worse then that they stay BORING!
September 14th, 2007 at 12:25 am
Clearly this is true.
Every bank I know requires you to bring in your collateral so that they can secure it during the duration of the loan.
Much easier than placing a lien on the title
September 14th, 2007 at 12:31 am
Its a great story no matter who the protagonist is. It kinda glosses over the fact that banks don’t actually take custody of collateral.

September 14th, 2007 at 1:56 am
This story says more about your willingness to use an urban myth to “prove” the rich think differently than the rest of us - than actually demonstrating how the rich think.
The upper-classes think no differently than the rest of us. Many are more self-confident - but wouldn’t you be if you didn’t have to worry where your money was coming from?
Wealth comes from being born into the right family, luck, hard work, and more dumb luck. It has very little to do with thinking differently.

This is a very old story; while there can be doubts about the authenticity, the plausibility is not in question at all.
The story is of a time the millionaire was _visiting_ NY and was going off on a two-week vacation. So, it is indeed very plausible.

September 14th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Actually this story does make sense. I mean, think about it. Obviously he owns a house and a garage, but this story doesn’t reveal the location of his home.
He drove to New York from his home, wherever that is, and is flying from New York to Philippines for 2 weeks. Now he needs to find a place in New York to park his car while he’s gone.
Then he thinks about it and chooses the bank. Brilliant story.

September 14th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
Cute story. Unrealistic though. First off, that person probably owns their own place with a garage if they have that sort of money in New York. (If it were on the west coast, he would have several garages for much less money). Secondly, the interest rate doesn’t seem correct. But hey, who knows… maybe that high of collateral allows a lower interest rate? Intriguing though. Though currently I am studying to become a Teacher so the chances of having that sort of money are long in the distance
September 14th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
One would expect a multi millionaire to have a big enough garage at home to leave his $250,000 Ferrari in safely….sounds like a badly thought out anecdote with a cool ending. A good joke but highly unlikely to be factual..

It never ceases to amaze me how gullible people are…
It’s not true, no bank would ever physically hold collateral when they can simply put a lien on the title.
Wake up people.
September 15th, 2007 at 2:30 am
If he was really bright, he would’ve found someone to RENT the car to, and made REAL PROFIT from the deal, instead of having to pay anything.
Plus, I call shinangans. If you make a lien on a car, they take your title, not the car.
September 15th, 2007 at 2:31 am
Well, let’s see. The loan probably took about an hour. Two weeks parking in Manhattan costs what, $280? So you’re saying that millionaires think their time is work less than $280/hour? GMAFB.
The fact is that millionaires don’t think like this at all. First of all, they don’t own Ferraris - those are owned by people who are in debt, and by people who think of a million bucks as pocket change. Millionaires tend to drive sensible cars that are cheap to insure, because *that* saves money, and you don’t have to worry about them being stolen.
People whose wealth increases think in terms of “how could I take this money and get more money for it later.” And “how can I spread my risk so that when this dumb idea doesn’t pan out, I don’t lose my shirt.”
What this kind of thinking does is to help people who are never going to be millionaires to be satisfied with their lot in life, because “millionaires are cleverer than me, and that’s why they’re rich, and I’m not.” If you actually want to be a millionaire, that kind of thinking has to go. You have to believe that it’s possible.
Of course, becoming a millionaire is a good way to waste your life, but that’s another story.
September 15th, 2007 at 2:35 am
Interesting story, but I disagree with the conclusion. Not all of the rich are financial geniuses or even penny-wise. People such as Paris Hilton are the exact opposite. Those types either have so much money that they could never spend it all or they have smarter people than themselves managing their money, people who aren’t necessarily wealthy themselves.
September 15th, 2007 at 2:53 am
However funny. this is such an old joke, guess millionaires cant find their own stories.
The one i heard some time ago was with an older woman and a Rolls Royce.
September 15th, 2007 at 2:55 am
Would have been a better story if he was trying to park his $400 ford escort and borrowed $300 instead.

September 15th, 2007 at 4:01 am
It’s true the rich are a bunch of penny pinchers, but this is more of a scam artists type of thing. Low profit, and what guy would trust his 250,000 car just to save 50 bucks on parking.
It’s a funny joke though, but it’s clear that the person who wrote the joke doesn’t think like a millionaire, because as I said whats the tiny parking fee to a guy who’s tires cost like 10k a set or more. The wear the random employee who drove it to the parking garage put on it alone wouldn’t be worth the savings. Who do you trust to drive your 300+ horse power car and then not fuck around with it while you’re gone ?
Rich people live lavishly and parking your car in some place like that isn’t lavish or posh at all, it’s some kind of white trash lottery winner scam. Haha I showed you. I lent your company my quarter million dollar car so I could save on parking … yea.
If the guy was a real penny pincher, how did he ever manage to buy suck an overpriced car?
September 15th, 2007 at 4:04 am
This would never work. No bank would ever impound your car like a pawn shop would. The bank would keep your title and tell you to drive your car somewhere else. When you repay the loan they give you the title back. If you skip, you can’t sell the car without the title. This urban legend doesn’t work!!!!
September 15th, 2007 at 4:11 am
Very funny
But in real life banks charge loan fees and early payoff charges and the like. You cannot really borrow $5k for $15.
September 15th, 2007 at 4:19 am
The millionaire thinks in terms of TIME, not MONEY. Once you have enough money, time quickly becomes far more valuable than money.
Would a millionaire rather pay $15.41 cents to the bank for the 2 weeks parking (loan interest) — or $475 for two weeks in some private garage?
Well, if the loan process took 1 hour (waiting in line, filling out forms, etc.), but the private garage deal took 5 minutes (including a ride to the airport), the millionaire would most certainly opt for the private garage. Yes he would pay about $457 MORE for the garage, but those 55 minutes are worth FAR MORE than a measly $457.
Anything less than a few thousand dollars is petty cash to a millionaire. Anything less than 50 - 100 thousand dollars is petty cash to a billionaire. At the petty cash level, all purchasing decisions are governed by time. That is why a millionaire will pay seemingly exorbitant amounts of money for simple little things. It saves them TIME. And if you save enough time per day, it adds up to MILLIONS of dollars worth of time.
The mindset in which you discover a way to park a car for two weeks for $15, regardless of how much time it takes to do it is the mindset of a POOR person. Poor people always have to find cheaper ways to get things done even though those ways may take HOURS longer. Poor people lose so much time, and to them, money is far more valuable than time.
Also, it is a very bad choice to trade a $250,000 piece of collateral for a $5000 loan. What would happen in the event of a major disaster? What if the millionaire had an enemy who hacked into his bank accounts and stole all his money? (Or something else more plausible?) What if that 0.001% chance of tragedy happened? Well then the guy loses his car. If he had paid for the private garage, he could have at least recovered it right away and sold it. (The bank may pay the guy the difference in this case, but I’m not sure about that, and it would probably be much more of a hassle anyway.)
Millionaires spend MORE money, not LESS. They spend more to save time, and they spend more to get TOP CLASS service. A millionaire won’t look for a deal in Vegas, for example. He’ll spend lavish amounts of money on entertainment, but he’ll get EVERYTHING: High roller status, 15 women hanging off his arms all night, full bar, penthouse suite, etc. He might even DOUBLE his expense, and put the doubling amount on black, and gain a 48% chance of winning that, and getting the whole affair for free.
If the millionaire is rich enough, he’ll quadruple his bet if he loses at first. If he loses a second time, he’ll octuple his bet. Eventually he’ll win.
He starts with a $25,000 bill for the weekend. He puts another $25k on black. 50k total. He loses. He’ll then put another 50k on black (100k total.) He loses. Even if he loses two more times, and puts down $400,000 on black, and wins, he just won all his money back and got the $25,000 weekend of fun for free. (Actually he probably would get PAID to have all that fun, because he would’ve bet a few thousand dollars higher, e.g. $55,000 instead of $50,000, so that he doubles that extra amount when he wins.)
A poor person might take a lifetime to vacation to 25 different places in the world. A millionaire could hit all those spots in 1 or 2 years, and have more fun every time. Therefore, the lifetime experience of a millionaire is 25 - 50 times more than a poor person. (E.G. a 50 year old poor person = 2,500 year old rich person.) However the rich person is also 50 years old… he just has the life experience of a 2,500 year old poor person. (Meaning it would take 2500 years for the poor guy to have as much experiences as the rich guy did in 50 years.)
Basically life is miserable poor when you see how much the rich can do. The life of a poor person is like an 800 baud modem whereas a rich person’s life is like a DS3 connection.
I’m poor (compared to the rich) and working, investing, and thinking every day to become rich. It’s miserable in the meantime. The only thing that keeps me going, and keeps me happy, is watching videos of Darfur, horrible accidents (like Christopher Reeve), Katrina, etc. etc. Watching those things reminds me how lucky I am just to be healthy, have a decent job, and decent life. But I must work every day to become a millionaire because life is just a shadowy, sparse, brittle thing compared to their lives…

Yeaaah,
The only problem with this whole story (well, there are many, but the glaring problem) is that when you give the bank something for collateral, THEY DON’T TAKE IT UNLESS YOU DON’T PAY YOUR LOAN! A mortgage is essentially giving the bank your house for collateral. Is the teller at the local Citibank living in your dining room? No. How many of you have car loans? You are still driving your car, right? They aren’t sitting in the garage at GMAC financing headquarters?
So, cute story, but entirely fiction.

(Actually he probably would get PAID to have all that fun, because he would’ve bet a few thousand dollars higher, e.g. $55,000 instead of $50,000, so that he doubles that extra amount when he wins.)”
I worked at a casino for a couple of years and saw plenty of people try that strategy and end up losing all their money when they lost a few times in a row.

Quite funny but seems inconsistent. as a millionaire, he presumably has his driver and a big garage at home. he wouldn’t waste a time going to the bank for the loan.
but it’s a food for thought. and i’m glad many replied.

I am also impressed by all the comments, this article has generated

That was hillarious. I loved it, i’m going to send it to everyone in my addressbook. i needed a good laugh today
September 25th, 2007 at 5:39 am
I find it funny how everyone is generalizing the fact that all millionaires think the same.
Aside from that, it was a clever joke, and I enjoyed it despite realistic flaws that people kept pointing out even though it is a joke.
September 25th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
this story is old, I dunno if it really was a guy that did this but Ive heard this joke for over 6years ago, but clever he is, but not hes own idéa.
September 26th, 2007 at 12:15 am
As the person above just said, this is not something he came up with himself (if it really happened), it’s a really old joke I heard like 5-6 years ago.

Good idea though to have your car parked safely especially if it’s a Ferrari.

Guys,
the simplest and fastest way to become rich is still to inherit from a family member.
Sure, not everyone has the “rich uncle” in America. Or maybe some just don t know that they have one. A good way to find out is to register at http://www.famillion.com (it s free) amd let the system merge your tree with related trees!
Enjoy!
regards,
