Preview (beginning of the article)

At the amfAR Gala at the Wynn in Las Vegas on November 22, 2024, RM/Sotheby's also auctioned off five cars for a good cause. "amfAR" is a global research institution that has raised almost USD 900 million for its various AIDS-related projects and programs. The gala event was hosted by Jay Leno. Naturally, many celebrities, including Sylvester Stallone and Diana Ross, were present in Las Vegas in the vicinity of the F1 Grand Prix. The offer was clear and not atypical for the 2024 auction year. One racing car, three super/hypersports cars and one remaining mod worth a total of around USD 13 million went under the hammer for a good cause and without a bidding committee.
