Feb 6, 2016 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich

While many of the world’s highest-paid athletes weren’t raised in affluent households, a few of them lived well before ever hitting the big time. Oftentimes the capital comes from a family of famous sports stars, like football player Peyton Manning, but there are a few who are actually heirs to old money that goes back decades.

Amy Schumer’s recent run in with plagiarism claims only serves to remind us that original ideas can be pretty hard to come by—especially when it involves art.

Though Jerry Seinfeld is known to have a pretty impressive car collection, he tends to be secretive over what kind (and how many) he actually has.

But now, thanks to an upcoming Amelia Island Auction in March, we know that Seinfeld owns a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, a 1958 Porsche 356 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster and a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR. Each expected to fetch at least $1 million, you can soon add them to your very own collection.
