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.

Swiss media reported that the man owns a villa with five luxury cars, including the Ferrari.

In many third world countries you don't want to let them know you're an American. In Thailand if you're riding a bus that gets in an accident they'll nail you with the fine just for being a Rich American. I know that sounds ridiculous but that is what we were told.

Who says laws have to be fair.

Good. He's a repeat offender, maybe this will knock some sense into him. Probably not though.
