I thought it was interesting how there wasn't a Gallardo or Murcielago on that list.

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.
You really have no idea?

He probably has most of these cars, especially the collector ones. He was not too long ago the RICHEST person in the world. That means BILLIONS of dollars. That's multiple of thousands of millions of dollars. What's 100 million to someone with even 1000 million? That's would be only 10% of his new worth. I think he's worth something like 11 billion.

He has mechanics from the exotic companies at his place to keep the cars running. He has people that start up the cars and drive them short distances to keep them from deteriorating. Some times top executives get to drive the cars, but not the extra special ones.

Some of his benzs and bentleys and ferrari's are one of a kind versions made at his specifications.

It's hard to even fathom this guy's wealth so I can see why you are calling BS, but it's quite true.

net worth from forbes.

I've read that many of the cars are custom made and painted just for him. Also he tries to get the same car in muliple colours.

His car collection (about 80%) of it IS actually a museum collection that is open to the public. He owns the cars and the museum.
