The restaurants we went to were pretty ordinary, and his allowance was only ¥100,000, so I thought he was just a regular papa. I was surprised, lol.
What would the minimum annual income be to buy a ¥27 million car?
That papa is a business owner.

It depends on the situation, but even a Ferrari can be claimed as a business expense, and as Aya mentioned, the actual out-of-pocket cost may be relatively low. So I don’t think income is necessarily relevant.
If he’s a business owner, he can use company expenses within reason. Annual income may serve as a rough guide, but honestly, it can sometimes be completely unreliable—so I’d take it with a grain of salt.
As an aside, you mentioned that the dinner locations are pretty ordinary, but those might also be business expenses. It may simply be that you’re not very high on his list of priorities.
And while an allowance of 100,000 yen per pay-per-meeting arrangement might suggest that you’re fairly important to him, I don’t think there’s necessarily any correlation between annual income and the allowance amount.

As for cars…
The other day, I gave the woman I’m seeing a ride in my two-seater. She was delighted and kept getting excited about it（笑）
Mac has a Daihatsu Mira, while I drive a kei truck（笑）. I don’t think anyone sees us as a papa-katsu grandpa and his companion. And that’s perfectly fine with us（笑）
Anyway, back to the topic. It’s hard to say without knowing how the money is managed, but if you’re not just talking about annual income and also want to maintain a relationship, wouldn’t you need at least ¥11 million a year in spending money before you could get involved?

Not many papa-katsu girls would confidently call an allowance of ¥100,000 “normal.” You must be incredibly beautiful.
I drive a Japanese car myself. I honestly don’t see what’s so great about foreign cars, though I might buy a Lexus if it cost ¥27 million.
Actually, no, I wouldn’t...
People spend their money however they like, and I enjoy splurging on allowances for papa-katsu girls because it makes them happy.
When it comes to a Ferrari, who do you think is really happy about it? The person who bought it, right?

My papa (a male supporter) also loves Ferraris, but during the day he works as a salaried employee. He does own a company too, but it seems his main job is still being an employee.
He owns two cars worth ¥50–60 million each and replaces them about once a year. The reason he can do that is because he sells them while they’re still in pristine condition, at a high price.
For example, if he buys a supercar like a Ferrari or Lamborghini for ¥50 million and sells it six months later for ¥48 million while it’s still in great condition, it effectively costs him ¥2 million for six months of use—or about ¥300,000 a month.
In reality, there are also running costs such as parking, taxes, and insurance, so he can’t drive it for exactly ¥300,000 a month. But I think around ¥500,000 would be more than enough. If he really loves cars, he probably doesn’t mind spending several hundred thousand yen a month on his hobby—especially if he’s a business owner.
Going to two clubs in Ginza or Roppongi in one night can cost ¥500,000 over five hours. One business-owner papa I know spends around ¥10 million a month just on drinks. Everyone has different hobbies, but personally, I find a business owner who loves supercars much easier to understand, haha.
Maybe you could take this opportunity to have your papa teach you all about supercars. I really enjoy listening to my papa talk about his hobbies, and I feel that being interested in them helped me get a little closer to him.

Some Ferrari models actually increase in value after you buy them. For those Ferraris, I think some people buy them as investments, so rather than their annual income being the deciding factor, anyone who’s genuinely interested might be able to afford one.
That said, dealerships won’t sell those kinds of Ferraris to first-time customers, so you’d need to buy several non-limited models first. When you look at it that way, it does seem like your take-home annual income would need to exceed the car’s price.
If it isn’t a limited edition, even a salaried employee can buy one—or rather, there’s someone who has written a book about doing exactly that, so you might want to give it a read.
> The other day, I gave a woman I’m dating a ride in a two-seater.
> She was delighted and really excited（笑）
Even if it’s just a kei truck, something like a Honda Acty can come with a manual transmission—and amazingly, it has a mid-engine layout. If you modified it for drifting, it actually seems like it would be a fun car（笑）
Still, it’s a shame that production has been discontinued as times have changed.

It varies from person to person, haha.
How much someone spends on a car isn’t necessarily related to their annual income—it comes down to personal values. Some people even buy Ferraris on financing.
And the amount of allowance someone gives isn’t related to their annual income either. That’s also a matter of personal values.

It’s less about annual income and more about assets, I’d say. If you have ¥100 million, surely you can afford to buy a Ferrari.
Business owners range from one extreme to the other, after all. People who brag about annual sales are usually compulsive liars. If your annual income from net profits exceeds ¥20 million, you’re doing pretty well.
That Magic Mirror House is impressive.
Until recently, I was driving a Daihatsu Tanto. I’m just not interested in cars.
