Dwyane Wade gets a $230,000 McLaren MP4-12C as a gift on his 30th birthday

When you are one of the hottest players in the NBA, finding the perfect gift for your birthday can be a stressful affair for friends and acquaintances. After all, what do you get a guy who already has everything? But the CEO and president of Coral Gables’s luxury dealership, The Collection, Ken Gorin had a rather novel idea for Wade’s present and a rather unusual way of bringing it to the party as well. Apparently, Gorin gifted Wade a brand new McLaren MP4-12C worth $230,000 which was delivered to the basketball star’s party via a crane!

Dwyane Wade gets $230,000 McLaren MP4-12C as Birthday Gift

Wade turned 30 this year and while his Miami bash was filled to the brim with celebrity guests and pricey gifts and the McLaren was the proverbial cherry on top. The swanky car would have been just as attractive had it been driven in with a big red ribbon and bow on top but then that wouldn’t have generated the kind of buzz that the dealership got by having it shown off via a special presentation held atop a platform sitting above the hotel pool to which the vehicle was airlifted by a crane. Sources confirmed that the vehicle couldn’t be driven through the hotel which is why it had to be craned in though we think the huge publicity, the stunt got might have persuaded them to give up on trying to have it driven.

Celebrities as Usher and T.I. helped make the presentation of the gift even more special. And in case you’re wondering what kind of a relationship does a hunky basketballer need to have with the CEO of a big brand car dealership to receive such a lavish gift for free, let us clarify that Wade is the brand ambassador for that particular dealership. The bash was also thrown for Wade by Actress Gabrielle Union which he is also attached to.
