and I know he had a porsche at some point early on in his money-making career.

That would have been in 1989, but it is highly unlikely that he would have been driving it in New Mexico as the car (a Porsche 959) was not legally imported and could not be licensed.

Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft, has a 959, as does his partner Paul Allen. Supposedly those 959s are stuck in Customs somewhere in the US, although some people 'report' seeing him driving it around Seattle. Gates and Allen's are Comfort models which means they are not part of the 30 originally designated for the US market. Those 2, along with 2 more were brought in by Bruce Canepa, who claims (but has yet to) certify them.
