I probably have a good half dozen I wouldn't part ways with. I have a Ferrari that's worth probably $15 million, and I'm going to sell that in a couple years. I've got some cars I love and like having around, but you know, they all come to a point where it's time to let them go, and I think its time for me to pare my collection down.

According to MotorCities National Heritage Area and Sportskeeda, his automotive collection is alleged to be $8 million. In addition, Jackson owns several properties on the West Coast, including homes in Newport Beach and Carmel, California.
