There are many rich and famous people in the world, but not everyone knows the art to splurge it.
However, Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, better known as the Sultan of Brunei is one such person who is well versed with this art of spending the riches in the most lavish ways. One of the last remaining absolute monarchs in the world, Sultan has earned enough from reserves of oil and natural gas, that he doesn't have to think twice about getting a haircut for a mind-boggling $21,000.
His sultanate is one of the world’s most financially affluent and communally sheltered societies, where people even do not have to pay any kind of income tax.
The Sultan's passion for the world's most expensive, beautiful, rarest, fastest and unique cars knows no boundaries.

600 Rolls Royce cars,
over 300 Ferraris,
134 Koenigeggs,

6 Dauer Porsche 962 LMs and a number of luxurious Jaguars.

In late 1980s, for once he was ranked as world’s richest person but later on in 1990s he lost the title to the American businessman Bill Gates. Sultan’s current asset evaluation is about $20 billion and if the income keeps on growing at the current rate his eldest son might soon be the world’s first trillionaire.

Sultan of Brunei Hobbies (2)
Horse Racing

Badminton
The Sultan likes to play badminton when ever he finds time.

Sultan of Brunei Autos and Cars (5)
Mercedes-Benz
The Sultan of Brunei has almost 600 Mercs in his garage. One whole section of his hangar is dedicated for storing the world's most exclusive and rarest Mercs. Being the absolute Sultan of a country comes with its own benefits. His collection includes models which are not meant for public consumption, like the special S-class Touring model designed just for the Sultan and a yellow Mercedes Sprinter with a red interior. He also has 100s of 1996-1997 model Mercedes-Benz 500 sedans and 1995-97 500 SELs and SLs, all black. The Sultan got himself the only right hand drive Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR in the world.

Gold plated

Sultan also owns a gold plated Mercedes in his garage.

Ferrari
The Sultan has Ferraris which were just meant to be concept cars. However, when one has money to spend than any concept can take a physical form. His 2 fully operational Ferrari Mythos are just an example of that. His Ferrari 456 is one of the perfect mix of elegance and indulgence. He got himself a factory made four-door sedan and wagon version of the Italian stallion. His other Ferraris include names like Ferrari F40, Ferrari FX and both of the Ferrari 456 GT Sedans. He also has the Ferrari Testarossa F90, Ferrari F50 Bolide Tub by Pininfarina and Ferrari 550 Barchetta Speciale among others.

BMWs
One cannot possibly even imagine a car collection without the elegance of BMWs. The Sultan also thinks the same way and therefore has a couple 100 of these beauties in his private collection.

Rich man

He owns more than two hundred BMW's in his garage.

Rolls-Royces,
Going by the sheer numbers of Rolls-Royces he has, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that these are the favorite cars of Sultan. He has so much love for these high-performance and super-luxurious cars, that he keeps a Rolls-Royce in front of his palace with the engine running 24-7. Needless to add, all his cars are bullet-proof and feature state-of-the-art technology.

Cars Garage,

The biggest home for cars?

Emperors and empires have existed throughout world history. But here is an emperor and an empire with a difference - a difference so huge that it would not have been even imagined had it not existed! It is not a coincidence that theThe Empire Hotel in Brunei is witness to the greatest empire of cars. A garage, the size of five aircraft hangars, holds within it a collection of 7000 of the world' finest cars with a combined estimated value of $5 billion!

A neatly classified garage

It would be misleading to call this palace of cars as a garage but even if we were to call it so functionally, it is much more than that. It has separate wings to hold the different brands. Thus, there is a Mercedes wing, a Rolls Royce wing, a Lamborghini wing, a Jaguar wing, a BMW wing, a Ferrari wing, a Porsche wing, a Bentley wing and so on! Some of the cars housed here are the only ones of their kind on the face of the earth like thePorsche Carma and the right-hand drive Mercedes CLKGTR. Several concept cars like the Ferrari Mythos and Pininfarina-designed Jaguar XJ-220 also grace the 'garage'.

A King's Life

The cars also seem to share the royal life of the Sultan. They barely get out of the garage because of two reasons:

1. A car parked all the way at the back may need almost 1.5 hours to be brought out.

2. With a ratio of more than 100 cars per individual in the Sultan's family and court, a car gets to be used only thrice a year even probabilistically!
Cars collection
Collecting rare and limited edition cars is Sultan's favorite hobby.cars like Ferrari wagon-izations,Aston Martin, and Bentley are few luxury cars that rests in his garage. Brunei's Prince Jafri spent $78 million at Pininfarina SpA for coach-built Ferraris, and $475 million at Rolls Royce.

People die everyday in Nigeria and other parts of the world because of lack of money.

People in Liberia, Sierra Leone and other countries affected by Ebola would have survived if they had money to set up hospital beds and other necessary stuff when the crisis just started.

You shouldn't downplay the usefulness of money.

I call this affluence.
