The Sultan of Brunei has about 7000 cars worth 5 billion dollars gathering dust in warehouses
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei is considered the owner of one of the world's largest car collections. According to various estimates, it comprises about 7000 cars with a total value of approximately 5 billion dollars, writes supercarblondie.com.
The collection includes not only production models but also unique cars created specifically to the Sultan's individual orders. In addition, Hassanal Bolkiah is the owner of the world's largest confirmed collection of Rolls-Royce cars — over 600 vehicles, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
However, a significant part of this collection has been kept in closed hangars for many years and is practically unused. Several years ago, photos of the storage facilities appeared online, showing that many cars were covered in dust and likely had not been serviced for a long time.
According to various reports, the Sultan owns several examples of many rare models. He has at least eight Ferrari F40s, a collection of Porsche 959s in various colors, four Bugatti EB110s, and between eight and eleven McLaren F1s — depending on the source of information.
The collection also includes 361 Bentleys, among which are all six Bentley Dominator SUVs, created exclusively for the Sultan. In addition, he owns six Ferrari Enzos, five Ferrari FXs, eight Jaguar XJ220s, and five Ferrari F90s.
Exclusive cars, which no other owners possess, hold a special place. For example, one of the Ferrari F90s was secretly developed by Pininfarina designer Enrico Fumia specifically for the Sultan.
Most cars in the collection have individual modifications, and many were produced as one-off unique models.

Приходит новый русский в автосалон и говорит продавцу:
— Мне вот тут машина нужна, обязательно шестисотый «Мерседес», чтоб у него сиденья из динозавровой кожи были, чтоб сам он был зелёного цвета в жёлтый горошек.
— Да, есть у нас такой, но только мы точно такую же машину вам уже на прошлой неделе продали.
— Ну, у той уже пепельница засорилась.
