Mondays tend to suck hardest of all the days of the week, and last Monday was no exception for NHL star Tyler Seguin. He may be worth a fortune, but it still must have stung to come out and see his parked Ferrari banged.
The Canadian professional hockey player has a rumored estimated net worth of about $25 million and an open love for beautiful, fast cars. One of his most recent acquisitions is the white Ferrari 458 Spider.
On Monday morning, Seguin posted a now-deleted Insta Story that was picked up by an NHL coverage account before it was gone, in which he complained about his bad Monday. It included a note he’d found on his Ferrari after someone hit it when it was parked, and the caption “Monday + facepalm emoji.”
Not only did the dude drive off without as much as leaving a phone number, but he offered as excuse for this the fact that he didn’t have money to pay to repair the damage on such an expensive ride. Adding insult to injury, his literacy level also leaves a lot to be desired.
“Sorry I just hitted your car My bad bro. I don’t have money to pay” the other driver said, errors and lack of punctuation included.
While most commenters on the post duly rip the other driver apart for not being man enough to claim responsibility for his own mistake, there are also a few ones that highlight another aspect of the incident: for rich people, even bad Mondays are far better than they are for average joes. Owning a Ferrari someone can hit and run is an accomplishment of itself, apparently. It beats owning a cheap, old and used car that would probably break down completely if it was involved even in a minor accident.
That said, last year, Seguin signed an 8-year extension on his contract with the Dallas Stars for $78.8 million, so he can afford to buy himself an entire fleet of new cars, if he so wishes. This doesn’t make the other driver’s gesture any better or excuses it, but it probably helps Seguin move past the incident with a lighter heart.
