i don't even care about the value....WHERE THE **** DOES HE STORE THEM??
Yeah, this is the issue really. The money means nothing ($90M would be pocket change for the sultan), since this is a guy who was at one point the richest man in the world. He must have a huge garage though!

I call major BS on him owning all of those. It COULD be a list of all the cars he DID own at one point, maybe...

There are 1800 cars on that list. At a conservative 50k each, that's $90m in cars. That is possible I suppose, but I somehow doubt it.
did you guys not ready triump's 2nd post???

not one S2000.

I remember seeing a picture of his WHITE F40 ferrari.... not sure how many they made in white but that thing looked awesome.

Having that many cars is just stupid..... but if you have a zillion $$$ why not?

But he has two Isuzus. There's just no accounting for poor taste.

it is easy to get your head around storing that many cars in multiple locations.

there has to be a large staff of people keeping up the cars (driving them, maintaining them etc) since it would take the sultan over 8 years to drive them all at one per day (assuming he would drive himself personally, I am sure he gets limo-ed to most of his destinations).

the owning of that many cars is conceivable, its a waste of money IMHO unless he keeps them all in tip top shape for nostalgic and archive purposes. To be a truly important historical collection it needs to be much more diverse.

He was in a Discovery Channel show about Dubai not long ago. I think Jeremy Clarkson also visited him in his old videos called Motorworld, when he visited Dubai. He does indeed have all those cars, but it's not exactly made into a museum like a car connoisseur might. It just shows that money can't buy good taste.
