How long billionaires wait for their $4 million Paganis proves they truly earn it

You won’t believe how long billionaires wait to get their hands on a $4 million Paganis.

They say good things come to those who wait, and that’s definitely true in this case.

The Italian marque makes billionaires wait a long while before they can get behind the wheel of a hypercar.

Let’s just say, don’t expect it to be a speedy process – but it is a worthwhile one.

It’s often said that patience is a virtue.

Billionaires waiting for their Paganis would know a thing or two about that.

Let’s face it, the brand is a pricey indulgence.

When the founder has a $141 million car collection, you know you’re shopping with a high-end manufacturer.

But even beyond their hefty price tags of $4 million, these are supercars to be valued.

They’re so rare and valuable that many billionaire Pagani owners treat them as investment assets.

And even starting up the car is a skill that needs to be learnt.

So, as you may have gathered, it’s not a car that the Average Joe can walk in off the street and purchase on a whim.

Even if said Average Joe did have the funds for the car, he’d be waiting a long while before he saw it.

Horacio Pagani, the founder and chief designer, opened up about the long process of becoming a Pagani owner.

Speaking to Italian radio presenter Gianluca Gazzoli on his podcast Passa dal BSMT, the 69-year-old divulged some details on the lead-up to acquiring a car.

For a start, the brand is very wary of who it allows to become an owner.

If somebody acquires a car and then sells it on within one or two years of receiving it, they’re put on a blacklist.

Flipping vehicles is also frowned upon.

Contractual clauses can restrict immediate resale or give Pagani the first right of refusal on secondary sales.

But here’s the other thing that prospective buyers have to brace themselves for – a long wait.

Three to four years, to be exact.

The cars themselves take around nine to 10 months to make, once all the specifications are hashed out.

Every last stitch in Paganis is personalized.

This slow pace is deliberate, as the brand wants to maintain impeccable standards.

Plus, it makes its customers feel like they are buying more than just a car – they are being bestowed a piece of automotive art.

In an age of immediate convenience, buying $4 million Paganis reminds us to take it slow.

It’s well worth the wait, after all.
