#2  Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan

The sheikh has a net worth estimated around $23 Billion and has a great love for cars, but among all the car collections in this list his is the most unique. Around an estimated 400 cars compromise his collection and most of them are stored in a huge complex in the shape of a pyramid located in the desert 45 minutes from Abu Dhabi, with the best thing being that it is open to be seen by the public. The varieties he owns ranges from convertibles, coupes, sedans, luxury cars, jeeps, trucks, SUV’s, vans, military vehicles, classics and custom built cars. One of his one off cars, well sort of a car, includes this sphere shaped vehicle that is a replica of earth. Inside it it has proper living accommodations with necessities like running water, kitchen area etc. He uses it when he goes to camp out into the desert for sometimes months at a time. Other things in his collections include a fleet of Mercedes S Classes each painted a different colour for each day of the week, the world’s biggest Willys MB jeep built at a 4:1 scale to the original, the world’s biggest truck the dodge power wagon eight times bigger than the original and the list goes on and on.

 

#1  Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah (The Sultan of Brunei) has a net worth of over $20 billion and he’s known for living a very extravagant lifestyle so it should come as no surprise that he owns the world’s biggest car collection valued at over a staggering $300 million compromising of somewhere between 3000-6000 cars, most of us probably haven’t seen 3000 cars gathered at one place. The collection consists of 209 BMWs, 574 Mercedes, 452 Ferraris, 179 Jaguars, 382 Bentleys, 134 Koenigseggs and much much more. He even has a fleet of limited edition and custom cars built specifically for him by companies such as Rolls Royce. It has been reported that with such a large car collection it is inevitable that most of the exotics he owns are slowly rotting away.
