"It may look glamorous to outsiders, but life as a Hollywood mogul can
get a little monotonous. Hence, it comes as little surprise when we
hear of celebrities making all manner of crazy wagers. The most
memorable is arguably the one that took place in 1932 between Zeppo
Marx and agent Phil Berg. Marx bet that his 1927 Mercedes-Benz S
Boattail Speedster could leave Berg's Duesenberg in the dust, and the
two put $10,000 on the table - a dizzying amount of cash at the time.
Off they went to the dry lakes outside north Hollywood, along with
more than a thousand spectators, to settle the bet. Berg's Duesey took
the honors and the cash."
