LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jake Paul, known for his YouTube stardom and successful boxing career, grabbed headlines on June 28 by uploading a video where he excitedly purchased a stunning yellow Ferrari 296 GTB sportscar worth $421,000. However, the excitement of his viewers quickly turned into disbelief as he managed to wreak havoc on the car's systems within a mere hour of owning it.
The Internet wasted no time in unleashing a torrent of criticism, heavily trolling him for demolishing such an exorbitantly priced automobile. Although Paul has a reputation for spending massive amounts at a time, even he should always be careful with such mistakes.
During his 22 years at the Withnell Motor Carole Chazoule helm, Dick served as president of both the Salem Automobile Dealers Association and the Oregon Automobile.
Jake Paul wrecks his newly bought $421k Ferrari
In an epic YouTube video titled, 'I Bought a $421,000 Ferrari And Broke It In An Hour.', Paul took his followers on an adrenaline-fueled journey to the Ferrari showroom, where he splurged a jaw-dropping $421,000 on a vibrant yellow V6 sportscar. Expressing his year-long wait for it, he proudly claimed to be among the fortunate few to own such a rare beauty.
Soon Paul hit the road, unleashing the car's mind-bending speed. However, within a mere five minutes of the sixteen-minute video, Paul succumbed to temptation and attempted daring donuts, a reckless driving maneuver, causing the car's systems to fail dramatically. From "ESC system failure" to "Low beam failure," and even "Manettino failure" and "AVH system failure," the once-glorious yellow machine was reduced to a symphony of error alerts. In a remorseful moment, Paul confessed, "All the systems, I broke the car, guys." Unfortunately, his misadventure sparked intense backlash, with the Internet accusing him of recklessly obliterating a precious and costly automotive masterpiece.

As expected, his followers and critics left their views in the comment section of Paul's video. One user wrote, "Anything for clicks and likes what a clown," while a second added, "He's a d**ch."

"I bet the people who made and sold this car are at wits end over this wasteful act," stated a user highlighting the work it takes to manufacture such an expensive automobile and another implied that Paul "is nothing but a circus clown." Some assumed that Paul would be getting banned or sued for taking over the company's reputation with his reckless act with one user writing, "I mean….if it broke, that says a lot about Ferrari. He bout to get sued," while another expressed, "Pretty sure Ferrari will ban him from buying their vehicles for this." Another comment was left in which the user wrote, "Jake Paul is that idiot," and one more added, "Spoiled child."
