Yahoo Autos $975,000 one-of-a-kind 2024 Cadillac Celestiq is the diva of Nieman Marcus' fantasy list
When Nieman Marcus put a one-off 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 specced by Craig Barrett of Barrett-Jackson on its Fantasy Gifts list for the 2021 holiday season, the super-luxe retailer charged $285,000 for an SUV that retailed for $112,595 (not that anyone got any Hummer EV for retail, we know). Previously, the store had done similar with a 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera with appointments chosen by ex-Bond actor Daniel Craig, the coupe coming with an Omega Seamaster and tickets to the "No Time to Die" premiere. That gift cost a cheeky $700,007, more than twice the $304,995 MSRP of the car and the most expensive Fantasy Gift that year. Well hold onto your lug nuts, fellas, Cadillac just reset the bar. The most expensive Nieman Marcus bauble this year is a one-of-one 2024 Commissioned by Cadillac Carmen Celestiq that wants $975,000 from a discerning buyer, before taxes and fees.
This isn't the most expensive gift ever, eclipsed as recently as last year by a $3.2 million Cartier diamond tiara. But last year's car was a Barbie Maserati Grecale Trofeo SUV asking $330,000 for each of three examples to be sold. The Celestiq is pulling in a tidy markup above its $340,000 retail price, although $25,000 of the gift price goes to the Detroit Opera House.
