A woman bought a $450,000 Lamborghini Aventador S after selling a single Pokémon card she found in an old pack.
She came across the card while she was trading Pokémon cards and decided to check if the Generation One Charizard card had any value.
That discovery led to a sale worth $300,000.
And that sale led directly to her dream supercar.

Lamborghini Aventador S
A young supercar fan was approached during a street interview after the host noticed her gorgeous blue Lamborghini Aventador S and asked what she did for work.
She explained that she works as a golf caddy and while the tips are quite good, she also buys and sells rare Pokémon cards, which is where many of her biggest profits have come from.
The most successful sale happened when she found a first-generation Charizard card in a pack she bought.
After having it graded, it attracted high interest from collectors and eventually sold for $300,000.
The Lamborghini Aventador S became her target as soon as she realized the sale had given her the chance to buy one.
There’s nothing like the naturally aspirated V12 and dramatic styling, and it was the car she wanted above anything else.
Once the payment from the Charizard was processed, she bought her Aventador S for $450,000.
The purchase was a turning point in her life and turned her card trading hobby into the reason she now drives a supercar; she even said she only recently got into trading card selling, and it didn’t follow her from childhood.
Pokémon card fortune
The first-generation Charizard she sold is one of the most sought-after Pokémon cards and is known for reaching huge prices among collectors.
Once it was confirmed as in excellent condition and, of course, real, it quickly drew a lot of attention on eBay, and bidding escalated until it reached the $300,000 mark.
It seems that her fancy supercar is more than just a showpiece, and she used it to just go get fast food from the In’n’Out, where she was spotted for her interview.
That single sale covered most of the cost of the Lamborghini Aventador S, with the rest funded through profits from her ongoing card trading.
What started as a card pulled from an old pack ended up transforming her finances and putting her behind the wheel of a Lamborghini.
