He is known for his well-collected cars. Pratte Development Co. is located in Phoenix, Arizona. They are a private company that manufactures structural wood products. Pratte sold the development company to Pulte Residential at the height of the Arizona real estate boom.

In 2008, he bought his large collection of fancy cars, a Shelby GT500, for nearly $650,000, and last year, a Futurliner bus for $4.1 million.
Pratt donates almost as much to charity as he spends on cars. He even donated his Tony Stewart race car to the Gwen Foundation after winning at the auction. The Gwen Foundation then sold the race car a second time and raised $165,000 to buy electric wheelchairs for children. Thanks to the bids Stewart Motors received in the first auction and the proceeds of the second auction, a total of 1/2 million dollars was raised to help those suffering from muscular dystrophy. He also purchased a 2006 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo for $500,000, the proceeds of which went to the National Marrow Donation Program. Pratte bought 52 cars at the BJ’s auction in 2003, starting to build his vast car collection.
