Professional poker player "BigJoe2003" who plays on PokerStars is on pace to receive 3 Aston Martins(http://www.astonmartin.com/home) in 2007 as "bonuses." For people who read this blog who don't play online poker, at PokerStars you get rewarded in points for how much you play/rake that's paid. You can then redeem your points for items in the PokerStars store. You can get things like: poker books, entries into tournaments, ipods, tvs, etc... Even cars for some of the guys who play a ton. 'Joe" plays a LOT, so he gets a lot of points to redeem. He has said in his blog that if he does well at the WSOP this summer, he will be getting 7 Aston Martins, and getting the license plates to be: "MONDAY", "TUESDAY", "WEDNESDAY", etc.... which would be pretty sick. I think Aston Martin's are worth $100k+. So in the next 12-18 months he should have almost $1 million in Aston Martins if he ends up sticking with that plan. SICK.
As someone commented in his blog: 'I would suggest you get an eighth aston in case you are staying overnight somewhere away from your garage. You'll look pretty stupid driving home in a Tuesday aston on Wednesday.'
Well said.
