Craig Jackson net worth
Craig Jackson Net Worth: Craig Jackson is an American entrepreneur who has a net worth of $300 million. Craig Jackson was born in Arizona and grew up around cars. In 1971, his father co-founded the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction with Tom Barrett. The auction was originally called “Fiesta del Auto Elegance”. The auction was created to raise money for local charities and has grown from there. In 1972, they started auctioning cars, starting with Adolf Hitler’s armored Mercedes 770K. The car sold for over $150,000, a huge sum in the early ’70s. Craig Jackson started working for his father’s company early on and took over the operations entirely in 1997. He has since added online bidding, and the auction is broadcast on the SPEED channel. He is known for his incredible attention to detail, complete professionalism and an outstanding personal car collection. He has won numerous business awards and twice appeared on Motor Trend’s “Power 50” in the automotive industry. To date, his auctions have sold more than $1 billion worth of cars. More than 200,000 people attend the auction each year, generating approximately $90 million in revenue for Barrett-Jackson. That was before their company cut sales.
Craig Jackson’s Car Collection: Craig keeps his impressive car collection in what has been dubbed one of the most expensive garages in the world. He spent millions building a garage with a round, circular showroom modeled on the wheels of a 1967 Shelby Cobra. The walls are leather and the floors are terrazzo coated. A custom heating and cooling system was built to protect his car from the scorching Scottsdale days and frigid nights. He owns more than two dozen cars, most of them muscle cars.
