Pull up to Nobu in your White Ferrari, wrists dripping with ice you couldn’t afford just a year ago. A lot can happen when you dump your loser ex and start focusing on your bank account instead. White Ferrari smells like a $100,000 credit limit. It’s the way you feel when you can finally afford to put down your AMEX to cover the bill. It’s matching white faux fur for all your friends, luxurious (but woke), Dom Perignon and Christian Louboutin. It’s cocktails and caviar in the penthouse suite, and the way the butler at your fave hotel irons your socks. White Ferrari smells like getting a promotion and treating yourself to a deep tissue massage in the same hour. Who needs a rich man when you can become one?
