Switzerland millionaire hit by record speed fine
The tycoon was reportedly driving a Ferrari 57km/h (35mph) over the limit
A Swiss millionaire has been handed down a record speeding fine of $290,000 (£180,000) by a court.
The man was reportedly caught driving a red Ferrari Testarossa at 137km/h (85mph) through a village.
The penalty was calculated based on the unnamed motorist's wealth - assessed by the court as $22.7m (£14.1m) - and because he was a repeat offender.
It is more than double Switzerland's previous record speeding fine - handed to a Porsche driver in Zurich in 2008.
In the latest case, the motorist was clocked speeding 57km/h (35mph) faster than the limit, according to the cantonal court in St Gallen, eastern Switzerland.
"The accused ignored elementary traffic rules with a powerful vehicle out of a pure desire for speed," the court said in its judgement.
Swiss media reported that the man owns a villa with five luxury cars, including the Ferrari.

Fuck me! I was doing 110mph when I was pulled over on the M3 here in the UK. The copper hadnt clocked anything, he just pulled myself straight over when I drove past. He let me go with a warning.
About 20mins before, I was hitting 170 though!
What the fuck would he have done if I drove past him at that sort of speed!
I did drive home at around 90 after being told to slow down thouh!
