I only saw the first clip but he didn't seem too phased about it and was pretty much having a laugh. Such is the wealth of this guy I guess...

It's a sad reflection on society that a buffoon like Sam Newman can acquire so much wealth simply by being a buffoon.

Good luck to him though, at least he's spending it well! Although I'd advise against any further cosmetic work on his busted up head...

He's is far from a buffoon, he's paid to fill that role on the footy show, but he's pretty knowledgable. And for someone to come back from zero to as loaded as he is means they can't be a buffoon, plenty earn more and have far less.

Oh so he's just in character? If you say so.

Very much so, he loves playing the "fool" when in reality he's the exact opposite, his helping of others is little known in public but quite extensive.

Sam is no stereotype blockhead, on the footy shows he plays the rouge but he is very articulate. Now you may not agree with what he says but that is another issue. There would be plenty of people wishing they had his car collection, the biggest problem being which one to drive today.

I got no doubt what so ever that Sam is a very good investor. Probably helps being so well known that he gets good info and puts it to good use.

Not that silly obviously a Ford man

He came up to our display and asked for directions to the Thunderbird club.

Sam Newman has owned that beautiful 65 T Bird for about 10 years. Very nice example.

He can't drive it in summer because he'd melt.
