That's just dumb and wasteful. What's the point of owning so much and not seeing or driving them.

You've heard the question/answer... "why?" "because I can" That might work for someone who has a car "collection" with maybe 40 or 50 cars, but this list is just downright absurd.

My first thought was ... What a waste... then I thought, what the hell.. it is his money and he can do what he wants with it .. but then reality bit back and my first thought is the over riding one ..

And no Enzo?...

Must be nice having all those petro dollars..

I agree that this is absurd. People need some limits. That is why I stopped at 3200 cars -- only 6 F1s.

Holy Crap! The "Mother" of all car collections. Gonna be a hell of an auction when this dude dies..... Hey, I'm taking first dibbs on the MClaren F1.

Reading the link with pictures it appears that he used to be worth 45 billion USD but then asian economic crisis doomed him to a puny 7 billion dollars. These cars were mostly purchased by his brother (spending on average 700K a day) and was kicked out of the country until recently. Not sure of authenticity but cool info nonetheless.

I wonder how much he pays for insurance. Hmm.. or maybe none of those cars are insured. He's so rich anyway buying cars are like buying snacks for him.

Anyway since i grew up in indonesia, its amazing to see that the toyota "kijang" is in his collection. That car is pretty cheap, and made in indonesia. It has 4 cylinder, 8 valves and last time i checked (which is about 10 years ago) has only 85HP. Just FYI.

this guy should lease. most of these cars are old, out of date, and worst of all not old enough to be classics. why drive a F355 when you can have the F430? all the old school cars. sucks to be him. i ll take an 06 (insert name here) over 10 of the previous generation (insert older car model here).
