There are some lucky individuals in this world that have enough money to own a supercar, and there are some elite people who can own a whole bunch of supercars. For these select few, money is not an object. If they see a car they want then they will buy it and have it shipped off to their gold-lined underground garage filled with peacocks and nude women, on the moon.
Lets start in Hong Kong. Its one of the most expensive places in the world to own a supercar because of the very high import tax they cost several times what they do in the US or UK. Tucked away in a private multi-story car park is a car collection worth in excess of £4m. Luckily there is a video of it so i will allow it to do some of the talking.
Ever wondered how you would feel if you had a supercar collection worth £ 4.5 million? Ask engineering student Dhiaa Al-Essa! He has thirty luxury motors in his garage, including four Ferraris, five Porsches, three Lamborghinis, two Rolls Royces and a Mercedes SLR McLaren. And it is not the complete story. The value of his collection is set to expand 70 per cent next year when he takes delivery of two more cars.
His Saudi business tycoon father is to buy him a Koenigsegg Agera – complete with gold key – for his 22nd birthday, a brand new Ferrari 599 GTO Roadster and a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is on order. This is an addition price tag of £ 3.5 million.
All have personalised number plates featuring the figures 070, costing about £100,000 a time. The international playboy has spent the summer flying his cars to London, Montreal, Las Vegas and New York to go on driving tours with friends.
A handful of new exotic cars set to be delivered to his Riyadh mansion over the next six months. Two £1.6 million hypercars – a Koenigsegg Agera and the world’s fastest car, a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport – and a £ 350,000 Ferrari SA Aperta will be heading to his place early next year, same goes for the replacement 458 Italia that got destroyed by fire at a Heathrow Airport warehouse depot.
Peter Saywell is a reclusive British businessman who happens to own some of the most expensive production cars in the world. He is a big fan of customising his cars and his new Pagani Zonda and hi Supercharged Range Rover are customised to match. He says “I’m working with Kahn on this one and it’s going to have the same paintjob as the Zonda along with yellow brake callipers. Side-by-side, the Range Rover will look like the Pagani’s mothership.” Here is an old video of Fift Gear being shown around his garage.
This video shot him into fame among supercar fanatics. He has not changed his car collection much since this video except for the addition of a Ferrari 599 and a few others.
The Sultan of Brunei is one of the worlds richest men and shows it in his car collection. It is one of the most secretive collections and photos are extremly rare to come by. It has been estimated that he has over 5,000 cars including 8 Mclaren F1's. The Sultan seems to have a fetish for one off or heavily customised cars. At one point Mercedes had an entire factory dedicated to rolling out custom cars for him. But money doesn't buy taste as this customised Rolls Royce Phantom shows.
He also owns the worlds largest private home at around 2,000,000sq.ft. Unfortunatly it can only hold 200 cars, so he has eight private warehouses around the world to store his 5,000 cars.
There are some car collections that are so mysterious and so private that we can only speculate about what fantastic array of automobiles lies within. Sheikh Hazza Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan owns one of these collections. Ever since he lent Top Gear some cars to shoot with he has been the subject of much speculation. Top Gear magazine teased readers with the possibility of a snoop around, but that article has never manafested. We have only one snapshot of his collection, and i will let you imagine what else he owns.
Jay Leno is a farmiliar name, and even more familiar if you are a car nut. He owns over 150 cars and stores them all in his massive garage attached to his Los Angeles home. As well as owning some of the most desirable and modern supercars such as the Bugatti Veyron, he also has a vast array of classic cars like the Lamborghini Muira, of which he has several.
He also owns a motorbike with a jet engine!

The collections most likely owner is Sham Kar-wai who owns a Chinese fashion company, but no-one has come forward to claim the collection as theirs.
