Cool! I like seeing the f150 in that list for a change, that was unexpected.
I wonder if they're bullet proofed before they actually take delivery.

That list is a load of crap, anybody knows anything about weath knows that most assets are to be hidded away in shell companies and such.
I have a few cars.
One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

Yeah i heard about that, the guy still uses coupons from newpapers flyer for groceries.
I guess thats how you become a billionaire and STAY a billionaire. Hence some of the cars, they are smart and dont waste money.
the only ones that show the part are Prince Alaweed and Lawrence Ellsion, everyone else is faking the funk.
I wish my grass was Emo, so it would cut itself...

I remember when the 959 came out. I don't think it was certified to be driven on public roads in North America :(
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

haha it wasnt 5 cars, it was 10. 2 of each kind, one for him and one for his body guards, or so the article says.

EXACTLY!!! They are pampered with "drivers"..... and the cars that they have still are the sentimental, or the first cars they bought, or just the stuff that they never gave away/sold or auctioned off.... Or they just don't care.
I would hate to see my garage if I was a billoinare. It would look like a used car dealer.. not that the driveway doesn't already... I have 4, my bro has 5, my dad has 4, my mom 1 and soon to be 1 for my sis. There is a 56 f-100 truck frame out there somewhere too.... if that counts

Self made billionaires become so by living modest lives. I think you and I are alike in that regard.
