Brunei Prince Blows $14,8 Billion

(By Paul Grover)


Brunei is a small state on the north coast of the island of Borneo, nearby Malaysia and Indonesia. It is classified as a developed nation, and is known for its petroleum and natural gas fields. They were a colony of the United Kingdom and gained its independence in 1984.

The nation is particularly known for the spending done by Prince Jefri Bolkiah. It as shown to us that he had blown close to $15 billion on tangible assets such as property, cars, aircrafts, paintings and jewelry. This might be insane, but I am a fan of Jefri because of his car collection. He has the rare honour of producing the first Bentley SUV, years before the EXP 15 concept came to life. He has very rare Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Porsche and other luxury vehicles. He is particularly famous for commissioning unusual and rare models, such as the McLaren F1, Ferrari F40 LM and Ferrari F90. One unsurprising fact as the fact that all the cars are rotting away because there was no longer any money to pay for their maintenance. So what you have is a vast metal grave containing over 2000 spectacular cars. If I had the monetary means, I would try to salvage those salvagable models.
