Rothstein: Conspicuous Consumption on the Block in Fort Lauderdale

The public may loathe Ponzi King Scott Rothstein, but folks clamored for his goods at auction today.

Hundreds of bidders turned out for a chance to acquire Rothstein's luxury cars and boats. Two hours later, the fleet was sold off for $5.8 million.

Among the priciest baubles:

• The "Princess Kimberly" yacht named after Rothstein's wife: $2.5 million.
• 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 Super Veloce: $382,000.
• 2008 Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4: $858,000.
• 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Convertible: $301,000.
• 2005 Riva Aquariva Super Vessel: $255,000.

Though the numbers are impressive, they pale in comparison to the $1.2 billion Rothstein bilked from investors.
