This Massive $80 Million Wyoming Ranch Is Bigger Than L.A. and N.Y.C. Combined
Case in point: an enormous Wyoming ranch that spans just under one million acres that has just hit the market for $79.5 million. The vast spread, known as Pathfinder Ranches, encompasses a dozen historic ranches with a total of 916,000 acres—bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island!—where you'll find a spacious residence and some 3,400 cows across its stunning unspoiled landscape.

'A ranch like this is not built overnight, but takes generations of grit, vision, and dedication to become something like Pathfinder,' Scott Williams, one of the listing agents at Swan Land Company, said in a statement. 'This legacy property is about impact on the land, the industry, the culture, and the state of Wyoming.'

Stretching from the Devil's Gate gorge to the Pedro and Ferris Mountain ranges, Pathfinder Ranches spreads across four Wyoming counties. Of course, you can't see from one end to the other, and driving the entire length of the ranch takes about an hour and a half. But if you do decide to undertake a survey of the property, you'll find some outstanding natural features, including Independence Rock, where settlers on the Oregon Trail etched their names as they passed through. The original routes of the Pony Express and the Mormon Trail cross the ranch, and parts of the North Platte River pass through, as do 20 miles of the Sweetwater River.
As a working ranch, Pathfinder is currently leased out in four separate operating units. Along with the thousands of cows, the property is home to 180 bulls, 7,500 yearlings, and 130 saddle horses. That's not to mention the natural wildlife that abounds—the ranch owns and maintains the first habitat conservation bank for sage-grouse in the United States. In addition to those animals, it helps protect mule deer, elk, bald eagles, migratory birds, and other species.
Of course, Pathfinder also offers ample living space for its human inhabitants. The centerpiece is the nine-bedroom, 7.5-bath Great Pathfinder Lodge. With more than 6,500 square feet of living space, the home is a modern yet rustic retreat amid the landscape, with a bar and billiards area, plus views of the Mountain West from all around. Other ranch houses and outbuildings dot the land, and one of the units even includes its own church. When you have this much space, you rarely have to venture beyond it.Best of Robb Report

The Last Ferrari Daytona SP3 Just Sold for $26 Million
You never know how much someone will be willing to pay for another shot at their dream car. In the case of the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the answer is $26 million, according to Road & Track. That's how much the final example of the hypercar sold for at RM Sotheby's Monterey Car Week sale on Saturday evening. That price, which is more than seven times the pre-sale estimate, makes the vehicle the most expensive new Prancing Horse ever sold at auction. More from Robb Report This Hypersonic Space Plane Can Go From London to N.Y.C. in an Hour Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Moving to the Forest Lodge Within Windsor Great Park This $230 Million Superyacht Was Made for a Former Ukrainian Statesman. Now It's up for Grabs. The Daytona SP3 in question is called the 'Tailor Made' and is a one-off that was built after completion of the third Icona Serie model's 599-unit production had been completed (making it no. 599 + 1). The hypercar's sculpted exterior, inspired by the marque's legendary sport prototype race cars, features a unique two-tone livery. The paint job combines Giallo Modena with exposed carbon fiber and is bisected by a full-length Ferrari logotype, which had previously not been used on one of the company's road cars before. The interior is a bit more restrained, with black being the primary color, broken up only by yellow accents and a monotone racing flag motif. Untouched is the Daytona SP3's V-12, which we think everyone will agree is a good thing. The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter mill is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and makes 829 hp. The car can rocket from zero to 62 mph in under three seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph. The SP3 was built and auctioned off with the specific goal of raising money for charity, but that doesn't make its final gavel price any less impressive. RM Sotheby's had announced that it expected the car to fetch more than $3.5 million, which is $1.25 million more than the Daytona SP3 cost originally. But when bidding was over, the winning bid came in at $26 million. Not only does that make it the most expensive new Ferrari sold at auction, but it also makes it the 13th most expensive car ever sold at auction. All proceeds from Saturday's sale will go to the Ferrari Foundation. The charity is focused on helping fund educational initiatives around the world. Most recently, the foundation made a significant contribution to help rebuild the Aveson Charter School in Altadena, California, which was destroyed by this year's Eaton of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.

This Bugatti Divo Was Showcased at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Now It Could Fetch $9 Million.
When the 1,500 hp Bugatti Divo was named Robb Report's Best of the Best in the Hypercar category for 2019, we described it as 'a four-wheeled hyperbole . . . as elusive as it is superlative.' Those words are equally relevant today, as the Divo remains a milestone in combining straight-line performance with lateral dynamics. On August 15, one of the only 40 examples made will mark the model's debut at auction when it crosses the block through Bonhams|Cars. Nearly as noteworthy is that it's being offered without reserve. The car's coverage in our award-themed June/July print issue six years ago quoted Bugatti's then-president, Stephan Winkelmann, who stated, 'I wanted to test my team, and myself, to develop more emotional performance and a completely new design,' regarding the missive for developing the Divo. 'We wanted to highlight the sporty side.' More from Robb Report Rivian's New One-of-a-Kind R1S Quad Will Be Auctioned for Charity at Monterey U.S. Wine Exports to Canada Have Plummeted 97% Meet the Bugatti Brouillard, a New One-of-a-Kind Hypercar With its tremendous output coming from an 8.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 engine with 1,180 ft lbs of torque, the Divo has been engineered with a focus on cornering, which is why its top speed has been 'limited' to a still staggering 236 mph compared to the Bugatti Chiron's 261 mph max. What sets the Divo apart is its 1,005 pounds of downforce—198 pounds more than the Chiron—and lateral acceleration that can deliver 1.6 g. According to Bugatti's press release at the time, these all factor into the Divo beating the Chiron by eight seconds at the Nardò circuit in Italy. To realize this enhanced level of athleticism over the Chiron, the Divo's chassis, steering, and suspension were fine-tuned for greater responsiveness, and aerodynamic improvements included new front and rear diffusors and a wider, adjustable rear spoiler. Fittingly, the model's emphasis on control while being pushed to the extreme is reflected in the selection of its name, an homage to racer Albert Divo. A driver for the marque's factory team from 1928 through 1933, Divo won the Targa Florio endurance race back-to-back during that period. This example of the model has had only two stewards since leaving the factory in Molsheim, France. It has also been showcased at the Petersen Automotive Museum's 'Hypercars: The Allure of the Extreme' exhibition, which ran from December of 2021 until May of 2023. In 2024, it was acquired by the consignor, who has ensured that less than 800 miles have been put on the odometer in total. 'Here at Bonhams|Cars, we are delighted to be the first auction house globally to bring to market one of the rarest hypercars ever produced, the Bugatti Divo,' says Bonhams specialist Louis Frankel. 'It is incredibly rare that anyone ever has the opportunity to see one, let alone purchase one, so being able to bring this car to market is hugely exciting.' Yet this Divo is not the only exquisite automotive outlier that Bonhams|Cars will showcase at the Quail Auction during Northern California's upcoming Monterey Car Week. Among the over 100 lots being presented, the Divo is one of 24 cars comprising what Bonhams has dubbed the Future Classics Collection—contemporary apex automobiles—all being offered without reserve. Included in what's estimated to be a roughly $30 million assemblage is a 2021 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport expected to fetch up to $4.25 million, a 2017 Pagani Huayra Roadster with a high-end estimate of $3.6 million, and the 2022 Apollo Intensa Emozione 'Ocean Dragon' valued at between $2.5 million and $3.5 million. As for the Divo, though each had a starting price of $5.8 million when new, this pristine example is now expected to garner between $7 million and $9 million—its high-performance acumen seemingly extending to its return on of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
