Why would Michael Dell have a Porsche Boxter, that is a poor mans Porsche and with $17 billion he is anything but poor.

What isn't mentioned is that these guys probably have a private limo-service 24/7, and maybe the cars are for sentimental reasons...?
Third option: billionares=wierdos who don't care about cars

i kinda understand why dont have flashy cars. they already have too much attention in the media and wouldnt want more attention on the road. i'd do the same thing if i was too high profile. it's nice to blend into the crowd but sometimes... you just want people to back off cause you got a nice car.
