Thread: Dwayne Wade gifted $230,000 McLaren MP4-12C via crane

Dwayne Wade celebrated his 30th birthday in Miami this past weekend in usual celebrity fashion with over-the-top lavish gifts including a free $230,000 McLaren MP4-12C delivered via crane. Wait…um…what?

Ken Gorin, president and CEO of Coral Gables’s luxury dealership, The Collection, didn’t just hand Dwayne Wade the keys to a black 2012 McLaren MP4-12C sports car valued at $230,000; he went as far as to have the thing airlifted by crane onto a platform sitting above the hotel pool for a special presentation with such celebrities as Usher and T.I.

The car had to be craned into place because it couldn’t be driven through the hotel. After a little bit of careful maneuvering, the car made it successfully onto the platform, which was built specifically to make the presentation of the gift even more special for Dwayne. How did Wade receive this gift for free, you ask? According to TMZ, “Wade is the brand ambassador for that particular dealership.”

Dwayne Wade is a shooting guard for the Miami Heat. He is also attached to Actress Gabrielle Union, who reportedly threw the birthday party for him.
