    Don Baskin, a car collector and racer in Tennesse, has two garages totaling 400,000 sq. ft. containing 922 cars (insured) and another 200 on his open lot- Mopars, GMs and Fords. Incredible!

    While his collection isn't as high-end, like Jay Leno's, he still has a lot of cool cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Also, he has 25 Hellcats.

    He drives about 40 of his cars a year. (Note- His net worth is $10-15 million).

    Don Baskin, the car collector, accumulated his wealth through his business ventures, specifically in metal and machine parts, and real estate, according to Yahoo.com. He was also involved in racing and owned a substantial collection of antique and classic cars. His late wife, Carole Baskin, inherited a significant portion of his estate after his disappearance, including his real estate holdings and business assets. interesting?

    You have the wrong Carole Baskin. She was never married to Don Baskin. Her three husbands were: Michael Murdock, Don Lewis (the Tiger King) and Howard Baskin. She, reportably, inherited $6 million from Don Lewis's estate.
