    Cool pictures CF, thanks.

    Jerry has a collection of Porsche, at one point he had 75 different Porsche models in his collection and I'm sure it is still growing

    Re: Jerry Seinfeld drives the Carrera GT

    WOW...I guess from the photos JS went to the press intro of the Carrera GT at that old Soviet Air Field in former "East" Germany. What an honor...especially for someone who is not "press"...but for people that know of his Porsche enthusiasm here in the US...it is not that surprising.

    JS has (IMHO) arguably one of the largest PRIVATE collections of Porsches there is...guess the CGT will add to that number...

    Great photos...he is a funny guy with the face expresisons!

    Hi,

    did he earn so much money only with his sitcom?

    Re: Jerry Seinfeld drives the Carrera GT

    Once in a while he still has stand up comdey shows which the tickets cost a whole lot. e.g. good seats around $300.

    Somebody has to pay for his P-car collection

    Another word....he was getting $1,000,000 an episode!

    If he would have stayed with the show, I think it was FOX tv. that offered him $5,000,000 an episode, but he declined...

    Re: Jerry Seinfeld drives the Carrera GT

    I read he also owns the very first 911 and the very last 911. As in the aircooled one. (A 993 4S light blue I think)
    Did I read that from you CF? Or someone else I can't remember.
    Anyway, that's passion for you!
    Fanch.

    I believe his cut for syndication...

    was somewhere in the 9 figures... do the math and you can see that he can collect as many cars as he'd like.

    I have a hunch he may come onto these boards every so often.

    It works very simple (if you can afford a 996 Cab and an Audi S4, you should know that by now... ): he earns money as a comedian, he works for TV and earns money, he invests that money in stocks, real estate, etc., he gets ad contracts and gets more money, he invests that money too, he has a clever investment advisor, he earns even more money and so on.
    This is how money is made in America...and probably all over the rest of the world too.

    Not excluded. We have many interesting people here who don't want to unveil their real identity. I'm so happy they provide us with lots of nice pictures and information. If Jerry Seinfeld reads this: post pictures of your CGT, we really would appreciate it. At least as much as I appreciated your comedy series on TV.
    Now this is one thing I really envy people for: to be able to have their own car collection. Must be the one of the greatest things in life.

    Jerry if you read this forum don't feel bad about disguising your real identity. My disguise name is Ron(Houston) but indeed I'm Jack Nicolson .

    Ron - I think you gave yourself away by not spelling "Nicholson" correctly - or is that part of the disguise

    Re: Jerry Seinfeld drives the Carrera GT

    Jerry is one of my heroes a comic genious and avid porsche fan. He sold the syndication rights for his show after the last year for $280 million dollars or so. Plus all the money from doing the show, $1 million an episode during the last years.
    In the movie comedian he is seen various times driving a millenium edition 911. Its good to see he enjoys the 996 and appreciates the direction Porsche is going as well as all their past success!!
