Billionaire Larry Ellison gets speeding ticket on island he owns while driving Corvette, told cop there's 'no excuse' (msn.com)

Worth $109.5 BILLION with a $300 MILLION private island and drives a Corvette, a man of good taste.

Like he's going to care about a speeding ticket.

Of course, I would think being the owner of 98% of the Island (Lanai, Hawaii) I'm thinking he just might have some juice with the local police and judicial system.

As a road safety initiative the cops should immediately crush his car and cancel his license.

He also didn't have his license with him. I think he's a flight risk, so jail without bail.

Just confiscate the car. He can get another one anyway. With the pocket change he dropped on the ground.

Last June Tom Cruise was there. He flipped and totaled one of Ellison's cars. (It's okay, it was just a Toyota) Apparently this island is quite a dangerous place to be on the roads.

Is it possible to send the Corvette to a GM Inside News moderator or premium member for inspection before crushing it?

Don't be such a party pooper. happens ...or so they say anyway. And just because you "own" the island doesn't mean you can ignore the rules... of the road as well.

Laws don’t apply to rich people

Bill Gates had a similar incident driving his Porsche on Microsoft property he owned.

Running through a stop sign? There's like 3 stop signs in all of Lanai. lol

Life is so unfair. Let's start a ticket fund for good ole Lair'.

I’m so lost. 😂 This story tickles me. Who is the police force if you own an island? What is it, 2 employees?

 

[aceinspp]

Interesting question. If you own the island and then you are paying for a police force. This good. Later RJD

Ellison must be looking for attention. If I recall correctly, I heard that he was on Oprah talking about meeting the right girl

I agree it very much reeks of self promotion.
That’s why we should show no mercy.
Crush the car. Cancel the license. Imprison the offender.

Do not punish the innocent car. Adopt it.

And what if by some happenstance that you be found in the same circumstances as he? Then what?
