A BMW owned by Real Madrid soccer star David Beckham fetched nearly $170,000 in an online auction, proving there's no more insane individual on the planet than a soccer (sorry, football) fan with money to burn. The sale was also a corner kick in the balls for the car's previous owner, who had recently sold it to the auction seller for around $20,000.
