Maybe that after his purchase, the Bugatti was a bit too much. Consider this:

Recommended that tires be replaced every 2500 miles at $30,000 a set!
Tires and wheels replaced at 10,000 miles at a cost of $73,000!
Replace the seven-speed twin clutch for a mere $172,000!
Ultra-lightweight titanium bolts to hold major components together, $85, each!
12 radiators to cool the engine, 26 gallons!
The Bugatti can go 253 mph, but at that speed it will run out of fuel after fifty miles, with it’s 26 gal. tank!
Scheduled maintenance runs $20,000 a pop! (Five places in the world qualified to perform) - they will come to you however, at additional cost

Just a few of the costs, but it’s estimated that the cost of ownership is $300,000 a year!!!!!!!!!!!!
