ON THE ODOMETER

GIVEN THAT A CAR from Apple is still years away, how

about the next best thing? On December 6, RM Sotheby’s is

auctioning a silver-and-black BMW Z8 once owned by Steve

Jobs. The Apple cofounder purchased the roadster new in

2000—reportedly on the advice of Oracle’s Larry Ellison. At

the time, the car cost $128,000, but the provenance is sure to

add to its auction value. A pre-owned 2000 Z8 typically sells

for between $170,000 and $250,000; Jobs’ car has a presale

estimate of $300,000 to $400,000. Here’s how his iCar com-

pares with other billionaire rides at auction.
