This mystery millionaire has kitted out their Canada penthouse with an F1 car.
Somebody living in Montreal, Quebec filmed a video of the F1 car sitting pretty atop an apartment building.
When the clip made its way online, it got an understandably big reaction.
And it’s no wonder why, because this gives ‘living the high life’ a whole new meaning.

Super rich people love showing off their wealth.
There are several avenues they can go down to do so – swanky jets, big yachts, and fancy watches are all solid options.
But nothing says ‘I’m the richest guy here’ quite like having a car inside your penthouse apartment.
It’s hardly a one-off idea, as we’ve seen people do this before.
One millionaire had a McLaren Elva lifted 48 stories into his Seattle penthouse, whilst a Chinese billionaire had a Rolls-Royce Ghost bought up to his 44th floor apartment.

Then there was this 1957 Porsche that went up 58 storeys.
It’s a big statement, for sure.
Oftentimes the car will be sitting up there as a decoration piece, and it’s certainly a conversation starter.
Or it could be a friendship ender if you accidentally scratch it whilst walking to the dinner table.
At any rate, another car has made its way into a penthouse suite.
This time it was in Montreal, Canada.
It’s not clear who owned this car, but it’s on show for people to see.

The car in question is an F1 car, and that alone sets it apart from other cars living it big on top floor suites.
When footage of the car made its way onto Instagram, people had a lot to say as you might expect.
It was even an opportunity for some people from Canada to get in some digs at the roads in their city.
“Fact, it’s easier to drive around the living room than through Montreal construction,” one person commented.
We can neither confirm or deny that this is the case.
But hyperbole set aside, we’d say it’s pretty unlikely to be the case.
“That’s one way to avoid paying for a parking ticket,” another remarked.
One person drew a comparison between this stunt and Milhouse Van Houten’s dad, Kirk, from The Simpsons.

You may recall that the cartoon dad had a race car bed in his apartment.
It’s not quite the same as an F1 car, and we doubt anyone is snoozing in this real-life car.
Given that it’s out on the balcony, we’d say there’s a few weather hazards that would make such a sleeping arrangement impractical.
