Who has 5000+ cars in his garage?
If you were rich enough to drive any car you wanted, absolutely any car, and money is no object, what would you go for? A Lambo, Bugatti, Merc, Aston, how about something outrageous like a Formula 1 car.
But what if you were truly rich, not just “getting by” like that Bill Gates guy, but truly rich. The Sultan of Brunei is the richest man on earth; he is not counted on rich lists because he does not earn his money it comes from his tiny country’s oil reserves which are basically his. Estimates of his wealth pop up from time to time but the truth is no one has any idea how much cash he has.
So which car do you think the richest man in the world drives, well if you said Lambo, you would have been correct, and if you said Aston that would have been right as well, if you guessed F1 Race-car you would have been nearly right, he owns every F1 championship winning car for the last thirty years.
These cars fit very nicely into his garage which is a bit bigger than your garage at home; it has to be to be able to accommodate the estimated 5000 personal vehicles owned by the Sultan. If he picked one car to drive down to the supermarket for a pint of milk each day, it would take him thirteen and a half years to use each one.
He seems to quite like the Rolls Royce range he has over 500 hundred of those, if you tried unsuccessfully to buy a Rolls during the 1990’s that would be because he accounted for over half of their entire sales for that decade.
His collection which may well be far more than 5000 vehicles is estimated to have cost over $4 billion, filling them all up may be a little expensive at $4 a gallon, that is estimated at a minimum of half a million dollars.
Those that voted for the Lambo will be happy to know that he has 20 of those, but he seems to prefer the sleeker appearance of the Ferrari’s as he opted for 367 of those, Jag’s are nice little run-arounds, all 177 of them, as are the 362 Bentleys.
He also likes to not just buy boring, run of the mill BMW’s (185) he also likes something a bit more exotic such as Bentley Dominator 4X4 and the Bentley Java, Ferrari FX (6) the worlds only right hand drive Merc CLX-GTR and the Cizeta Moroder V16T (3)
I personally would not want to be burdened with the stress of having to select a car each day so I will stick with my two door Kia.
jeeez louise

I don’t care how much money you have… that is just stupid to have that many cars. It is stupid because a lot of good for this world could have been done with all the millions of dollars he spent on his “collection”. I am not impressed.

I am GLAD he is spending his money. At least he is putting it back into the hands of others around the world.

That’s a pretty amazing collection. it is somewhat pointless though, as he will never be able to drive most of them. Maybe staff cars?
Words by Nick on November 23, 2008 at 9:47 pm | #
All of you saying he’s scum for not spending his money on other things: what the hell?
It’s his money, and if he wants five thousand cars, let him have five thousand freakin cars! Yes, it’s excessive, but dammit, it’s his money!
Of course, I’d love him forever if he could pay for my tuition for the next three years :p
…
….
It’s not gonna happen.

That is amazing. I would love to see a full list of cars. I am guessing he would have a racetrack or 3 to max out his cars, also.

You people are ignorant! You should get your facts check first before attacking someone or a country which you obviously never had been to. Despite the 5000 cars, the people living in Brunei has free healthcare, education including scholarships to overseas, subsidized housing, high pension wages and no tax.
Besides Brunei has 340,000 people, obviously the expenditure was affordable than those countries with millions of people and he had clearly taken care of his people well so whatever he does with the rest of the money is his own business.

I agree that he is legendary, and siew is right he has taken care of the people of brunei. He also gives to different charities around the world in the Millions. When was the last time you gave to a charity? I know I would do the same thing as has if I was in his shoes, had as much money as he does.

What i can say MashaAllah…
I hope he help poor people
Many people in this world suffering and no one help them…
So Sulatan please help poor who are in need,…
In the judgement day Allah wont ask you how many cars do you have.
Will ask you what have you done in your world, and you will be asked how you spend each single cent or money….
Think how you will last in this world?
Words by lulu on May 27, 2009 at 9:08 am | #
Lulu, the Sultan can proudly tell Allah that he helped thousands of people in need by providing jobs for assembly workers at the Rolls Royce factory, the Bugatti factory, the Ferrari factory, the Mercedes factory, the Aston Martin factory, the Jaguar factory, the Lamborghini factory, etc., etc. AND all of the factories that supply the parts to those assembly plants. Giving money away isn’t the only measure of helping others. I would guess Allah already knows that.
