is it really possible for manga artists to buy sports car?

In the series we can see hiramaru buying Porsche and in episode 25 mashiro buys Ferrari, well Ferrari can't be bought with money only tho, well my question is are mangakas in Japan able to afford mansions and luxury cars?

What else do you need other than money? Mom's permission?

Idontno said:

Well for buying Ferrari you need to be approved by Ferrari as a worthy owner, like they won't sell their cars even if you have money, unless they won't acknowledge you as customer, being acknowledged isn't easy either ಠ◡ಠ

I had no idea, but when you are writing one of the top grossing manga at the time and it's getting an anime adaptation, the mangaka will surely be acknowledged, right?

absolutely if you're successful enough. between brand deals, manga sales and magazine sales plenty of manga artists are millionaires. Some of them are even filthy FILTHY rich. eiichiro oda, author of one piece is worth over 200 million dollars.
