It’s typically stated the foundations don’t apply to the wealthy, and 27-year outdated Luke Desmaris is portraying himself because the dwelling embodiment of that.

In line with numerous reviews, Desmaris has racked up at the very least 100 tickets previously 12 months by illegally parking his BMW M4 on the streets of London. Nevertheless, this was no accident as he proclaimed “broke individuals see a superb, however I see VIP parking.”

The Solar reviews fines from the tickets totaled over £7,000 ($8,131 / €8,157) within the final 12 months alone, but it surely isn’t a problem for him as “cash doesn’t matter.” The publication additionally stated Desmaris claims he makes over £100,000 ($116,165 / €116,577) monthly doing on-line buying and selling.

Whereas parking in London is a nightmare, Desmaris reportedly stated “I’m not blocking something or doing something unsuitable,” other than parking illegally.

We’re taking all of this with a grain of salt, as this seems like a silly ‘flex’ we’ve heard earlier than, but it surely does convey up an attention-grabbing level. Whereas a $150 (£129 / €150) parking ticket may be sufficient to dissuade somebody making $50,000 (£43,053 / €50,177) a 12 months from parking illegally, that superb doesn’t have the identical sting on somebody making $500,000 (£430,570 / €501,775) or extra yearly. It additionally goes with out saying, should you’re already going to need to pay for parking, why not pay a bit further to get a greater parking spot.

Whereas that’s taking part in satan’s advocate and assuming your automotive isn’t towed, the response on-line has been blended and some individuals admitted to doing it themselves. Nevertheless, others prompt that fines needs to be income-based so that they hit wallets equally. That’s how fines are levied in some nations and we’ve seen six-figure pace tickets previously.
