What Do Billionaires Dream Of? These Million-Dollar Rolls-Royces

The company produced more than 800 bespoke cars in 2016, each worth more than half a million dollars. Those timeless, exclusive models led the company to record results in the U.S. and abroad.

Last year was a record year for many automakers—not the least of which was Rolls-Royce.

This month the 113-year-old British brand reported that 2016 was its third consecutive record year for U.S. sales and its second-best year ever globally. The brand sold roughly 1,400 cars in the Americas, up 12 percent year over year, and hit 4,011 cars sold globally, up 6 percent for the same period.
