(supposedly) One of the latest Ferrari models is the 812 GTS. It costs around £300,000. So for Idah to afford this brand spanking new car it would take him about 3 months.

There are not many cars which hold their value as well as a Ferrari, which is one thing to consider when discussing the price of one. A 1987 to 1992 Ferrari F40 goes for an average of about $1.5m a piece, they cost $399k when new in 1987. That actually beats inflation!

Blew my tiny mind a bit, so many people have it nowadays too. Worth noting that these are not permanent tattoos, they last approx 1 to 3 years, which is much less dramatic. Its popular with women who were in their teens or twenties in the 1990s when really thin eyebrows were popular, and over plucking meant they were stuck with them as the hairs didn't grow back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still it does add a new twist to the son following in his famous footballing father's shoes Firstly it's not that unusual to be informed not to leave somewhere whilst bailed. I think it's just typical so you don't see it expressed as often. The police will often say "don't go anywhere" whilst you are under investigation or if they feel they may need you for questioning again. If he's on tag then tags themselves don't allow travel beyond a certain distance without first getting permission. I believe it is usually the case that you are informed not to leave the country whilst on bail... mainly so you can't go somewhere without an extradition treaty. Equally, house arrest means you cannot leave the confines of your house/property. The point of a tag is that you avoid a prison sentence whilst still being limited in what you can do. I've worked with youngsters on tags and dealing with bail conditions. Some have been told not to leave Norfolk if they have been involved with county lines etc. Though in their cases, more as a protective measure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In answer to my own question, yes he probably is To be fair, if you’re earning that much, why not? You can’t enjoy it when you’re dead. when you think about it, personal wealth is only in your hands while you’re alive, then it goes onto others, and some taxes, so it all gets ploughed back in the end anyway. And all the stuff you own moves on to someone else when you’re dead as well. so if some people earn stupid amounts because some people are dumb enough to pay them that much, does it really matter?
