They don't mention it in this article but the young businessman is 20 years old.

Young Businessman Crashes Cars For Love

If his action has anything to do with "love" then I must have misunderstood the meaning of that term.

to be that young, rich and stupid

AFAIK stupidity is just as common among rich young people as it is among poor young people.

Perhaps someone ought to explain the young man that a real man does not care about "proving" anything about himself.

Well, yeah, but I would rather be rich and stupid rather than poor and stupid. ;)

The kid is brilliant, apparently. He's 20 and retired. It is amazing how one can be so smart and so dumb all at the same time.

I especially like the ending - later admitted to hospital although no physical injuries - rubber room and sleeves that allow you to hug yourself perhaps?

Advice to the young lady: "Run, don't stop, don't walk, to the nearest exit."

Uh huh- SO rather than prove money didnm't mean anything by donating the cars to a charity or giving them to a family without the money for a car he destroys them? <snip>
