The most expensive thing to get auctioned was a chance to play golf with Jim Harbaugh and Tom Brady at Seminole in Juno Beach, Florida. And Scott bought this chance with a mind-blowing amount that circles around $155,000. Scott graduated from the Ross Business School in the year 1985 and he now works as the managing partner at the Capitol Seniors Housing.

Scott gave an update on his happiness at winning the amazing chance on his Instagram stories and also indicated that the game will be played at Grove XXIII in Hobe Sound which is also known as “Michael Jordan’s course.” If you break down the sum then it comes to $10K spent on each hole.

One guy wondered “150k buys you multiple top of the line clubs with endless amount of golf to play. Why the f**k would you pay that amount for 1 18 hole session. Lol”

Another made a valid objection “People can afford this but complain about homeless living on the streets. ‘Merica!”

If not, I’m out ✌️”Another wrote “I’m not even a Michigan fan but that would be sick” This guy was just interested in playing near Jordan’s house “Don’t care about them, I just want to play Grove 23”This golf fan was just not having it “I wouldn’t give them more then $45 bucks thats what the green fees are at my muni course”One declared it a “Waste of $$$$$$$”
