The Ferrari team had a long relationship with various Popes. In 1988, Pope John Paul II was invited to visit their factory and celebrated Mass there. As a gift he was given a car, the 2005 Ferrari Enzo, of which there are only 400. His was actually the last one ever produced. However he asked the Ferrari management to sell the car and its income will go to charity. It was sold quickly and the Pope received a hefty check, which he used for charitable works.
