I know of two:

Bernd Pischetsrieder (new boss at VW) wrecked one in a high speed autobahn crash while he was a big cheese at BMW (who made the V-12 engine).

And a newly rich guy trashed one in Essex (killing himself). A friend with a rather goulish sense of humour pointed out the burn mark in the road. Apparently he lost control at 150mph (which on a British back road with super stiff suspension is hardly surprising).
