The $5 BILLION Car Collection Rotting In The Jungle | Up to Speed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- Why is the world’s craziest car collection rotting away in a jungle? We’re talking $5 BILLION of Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Bentleys, and McLarens in doubles, triples, and more-some of the rarest, coolest, and most-valuable cars on the planet! The royal family of Brunei has more money than God and less morals than a barrel of demons. But that doesn’t explain why so many priceless cars are left to rot, does it? Join host James Pumphrey to find out as he digs into the $5 Billion car collection of the Sultan of Brunei!
Big ups to our own Joseph Wright for nailing this edit, and for dropping a Power Rangers reference. If you caught it, follow him on Instagram @chocotacotuesday

The fact that they bought this inconceivable number of cars, built massive parking garages for them to sit in, and didn’t even bother to temperature control them… It’s just a strange insight into how sick money and power can make people. It’s hoarding taken to an unimaginable degree 😐
Fallout from the royal ban on HVAC research in 2000, no doubt.
really lets you see what kind of true monsters humans are when they are convinced they have unlimited power and resources.
yea what that cutie james said. It had climate control, it just got turned off and wasn't allowed back on and wasn't replaced
Hopefully they really their mistake and set up air conditioning after the guy report... otherwise w t f
@@Donut those garages were bulit by actual slave labour. Sultan of Brunei is fucking monster.
Hundreds of insanely rare cars : no problem.
Temperature control their storage : UNTHINKABLE.
it was a casualty of the 1997 downturn, so im wondering what has been done since...restos? part-outs? but automobiles can also be artwork or sculpture i guess. museums full of toys too and nobody plays with them....except jay leno of course....
@@thelonepaladin stop being poor?
Couldn’t afford temperature control
Somehow I think these guys werent all that clever or thrifty.
Bc its not about the cars. Its about the status of saying you have them. Typical human.
I can't help thinking about the law of diminishing returns. I am sure it feels amazing buying your first Rolls Royce. It probably still feels great buying your seventh. But at the 100th point, I'd be feeling pretty empty inside.
That's where prostitutes and heroin come in.
I think James is the only person who can talk about a multibillion dollar car collection while wearing a Taco Bell hat.
The best part is that selling a single car of that collection could pay for a great temperature control system
It's not about the cost but the mere attention they give to their cars. They probably forget the names of most cars they own. The fact that they bought hundreds of identical black S500s probably without driving any of them shows that they are not real car enthusiasts. Cars are maybe just one of the ways they try to satisfy their corrupt desires and fulfill their hollow souls.
Yeah, I don't think they need to worry about the cost of an HVAC system with how much they have to spend on cars lol
Doubtful. At this point, majority of the vehicles there are probably worth scrap value after the bio boys make it safe to be around.
Could have fed a lot of people as well. These people are what's wrong with this planet.
Wouldn't make a difference anymore. Most are completely beyond repair.
Imagine being as lucky as those dealers. I'd give so damn much to spend an hour in that collection lmao
Spend an hour crying over ruined rarities. Man doesn't deserve to be sold anymore new cars. I wouldn't sell him a 2nd hand honda.
If they weren't all moldy and rotted I'd be excited, now I would just sigh at how much irreplaceable automotive history is now junk
@@Cynsham yes. 1990s Automotive cars looked irreplacable.
@@adamw.7169 hi Adam W.
@@damarfadlan9251 Just because they are "1990s automotive cars" does not mean that there isn't a countless numbers of near priceless pre-production, concept cars, and extremely limited 1 off cars, not to mention the insane amount monetary amount of CARS in general that are just literally rotting into piles of scrap metal in those garages
This has the same energy to me like the one spoiled kid at school that got every toy he wanted but after a week he loses interest in it and just tossed it out to get the next new shiny toy from mom and dad
And as a kid I begged for a two dollar allowance $2 - worked my butt off - and this man gets a billion for living at age 18 yikes 😬 😱
Dude I feel that- my dad and stepmom allowed me one dollar a week, and every time I forgot my lunchbox at school or forgot a chore or misbehaved they would take away one dollar- I was in the negative most the time and I think that’s why I have no money saving skills nowadays XD
Right bro. Is fucking sad, if I was an alien and come down years and years ago and have been studying mankind and its behaviors, I wouldn't want to make contact either because we're doomed & arent going to become a stage 3 civilization let alone a stage 1 or even a HAAALFF
Just more proof of how dumb society is to allow people to be "royal".
I’m so mad too, my stupid dad only gave me 1million when I turned 18. Greedy bastard
He’s worked his butt off as well

@@andrewpfeifer2808 he had too many to drive them all
It was actually his brother who owned a lot of the outrageous things including the Luxury Yacht named "Tits" . The sultan's brother Prince Jefri once allegedly kept a paid harem of up to 40 women, and was accused of embezzling $14.8 billion. He entertained women on his luxury yacht called “Tits” which had lifeboat tenders named “Nipple 1” and “Nipple 2”.
as a bruneian, i can agree that our majesty makes car lovers go crazy by locking all of the rich cars away
The man is playing Gran Turismo in real life, he's got an infinitely large garage full of expensive and rare cars that he's never driven and has almost certainly forgotten that he owns.

@@mr.nobody1921 Nah I made it up lmao but it sounds real
@@gaetanoheliot5690 in GT1 i only have 50 cars max.
Even if you are someone who hemorrhages money, I can't understand the logic behind hoarding a dozen or more of the same damn car. This is a perfect example of when too much money corrupts the mind.
Well, you want a CLK GTR with brown leather inside, you get it, you decide you like black leather more, you order another one in black leather, you dont like the outside colour? Order another one
It actually makes sense as an investment if it's super rare cars being kept in perfect conditions we're talking about. I do have to state that I'm strongly against these beautiful pieces of automotive history just standing around waiting for appreciation instead of being driven and enjoyed (even by the people who "only" see them out in the wild).
Because he can.
@@elvis1745 i don't think these guys were buying the cars as an investment.
@@elvis1745 Doesn't look like they're in good condition now....
this is what happens when infinite money meets infinite stupidity
Lol what do u expect from a leader of a country? do he have to spend all his time as a Sultan on preserving his car collections where he can buy another one like a dollar? he is not some rich dude who like to spend most of his time on a car. The same goes to other Sultan and Prime Minister of other countries. The guard who guarded those cars should be the one to blame. It was their responsibility and job to keep it well maintained and not let it rot just because being too lazy. U only think about "yeah he's rich but what's the point if he don't use it but keep it for what? what a waste of money" but u don't think about who is he and what he do. This is what happens when infinite jealousy meets infinite brainless.
This channel has grown so quick and deserves all the success! I really enjoyed that episode and man you say it as it is! Good humour 😎
I got a 1972 Ford Econoline as a grad gift from my dad, and got to restore it with him. I loved that van. Money can't buy happiness my dudes.
What I found sad is I honestly doubt the whole 5 Billion dollar collection gave them even a fraction of the pleasure a true car nut would get from buying, say, his favourite 20 year old $5,000 classic, restoring it himself and cossetting it. Funny old world.
The fact that they had to buy hundreds and hundreds, only goes to show they never found it.
They couldn't appreciate them because they never worked to achieve them. Just snap your fingers for 200 Ferraris. Must be a sad life really. Also, this is a prime example of small dick energy if I've ever seen one.
Facts having my dream super cat a Ferrari 458 yeah that's nice n all but building a tme 04 Lancer evo bruhhhh bruhhhh like cummon man
My rabbit pickup with a Tdi swap.
Has more smiles per gallon than the whole royal family and all their oil reserves.
@@buildtime78years9 @Nathan Brame you guys get it, and you're richer than the royal family of Brunei. Enjoy.
James: "Whats the point of having all of those cars and not driving them"
Me feeling guilty looking at my garage in forza.
My Forza garage is climate controlled and I keep maintenance up. I even repaint a few so they don’t feel left out.
Got get them to the track bro lol.
haha same all the barnfinds that never get driven lol.
All my 50 Civics in Gran Turismo lol
Bruh same, I have over 500 and I definitely haven't driven more than 200 of them
I’ve always imagined where most of the hypercars were being stored and knew it had to be a oil sultan but this is just insane. If their entire collection went up for sale tomorrow you’d see so many UA-cam videos of straight up unicorn cars driving around that it’d make peoples heads spin. The fact that they just bought all these things and let them rot is atrocious but in all honesty we’d all do the same thing if it were possible. Ya know, except for the letting them rot part.
I wouldn't do any of the shit they did. There's absolutely no point having 3-6 of each super rare car, having one is more than enough. It's just avarice to an insane degree
I thought the Vin Diesel quote will be "You never had your car" but "nothing's sadder than locking a beast on the cage" makes most sense
Such a shame that most, if not, all those cars being locked away in a garage will probably not ever see the light of day or to ever be driven. Hate to see some of them are rotting away like that.
same as the former harem girls

He could atleast sell them in a auction but rotting away of a Mclaren F1,CLK GTR, F 40 and an Enzo............!!! is like😵🤯🤢🤮😡😠
I have never had a greater urge to steal from someone in my life
Hardest part would probably be getting the car(s) out of the country. I have the sneaky suspicion that the garages don't have much security.
I'm with you let's fucking do it. They can't stop us all!
They prob wouldn’t notice a car is gone
@@alexforeshew5690 when you have thousend of them i dont think they gonna notice
That's it! Donut us gonna fund a group trip to Brunei to rescue some of these cars and drive them across the border to Malaysia and them home to be loved for once!
This collection makes Jay Leno's look modest. At least Jay takes care of his vehicles.
When he said Mercedes CLK GTR I was flabbergasted, that's literally my dream car till this day😭
I grew up in Brunei and went to a few car auctions in the early-mid 2000's. There had been various auctions, not just of cars, but other goods too,. There were cars that had been left out exposed to the elements for years in a large lot, including various models of super cars. I recall seeing a Ferrari F40 that was in really poor condition with sun-bleached paint, cracked dashboard and mold in the interior. Some had been at least stored under cover, so weren't too badly damaged. When walking around one lot I came across a rotting hovercraft and what appeared to be a replica of the car from Knight Rider, complete with matching interior. I know a few people that bought cars, including a basically unused Jaguar XJS and a 1990's Range Rover that was extremely high-spec and must've been part of a custom order. The latter had incredibly low mileage, but was dirty and filled with sand inside. According to the people at the auction, it had been taken out to a beach and used like a dune-buggy for an afternoon one day and then just abandoned until retrieved by the staff. The cars were sold on the condition that they couldn't be exported from Brunei, but most expatriates that bought cars simply drove over the border into Malaysia and arranged export from either Miri or Kota Kinabalu.
I wonder if some of those purchased are still around here in Kota Kinabalu where I live. Would be cool see/know.
I would love to know the name of said auctions…I can deal with cosmetic damage all day every day for legit super cars…?
These people had so much money that 100k$ vehicles were the equivalent of me buying a hot wheel.
@@KayKastum Maybe. I know of one British couple that retired to Kota Kinabalu that bought a car at one of the auctions, could still be there!
@@actionfaction2558 They didn't have a name, just advertised in the local newspaper and consequently via word of mouth. The auctioneers were brought in from the UK.
This just makes me incredibly sad. As a car enthusiast I dream of owning just one such car. Seeing those cars just rotting away, never driven, never seeing daylight, not even being shown in a musuem, I have no words for it. It's just a disgrace...
I swear the day I'll get to buy one of my dream cars, it alone will give me more joy and smiles all those cars together brought to that family...
i agree and im a bit of the same. If i had a supercar, it would be my pride and joy. That family probably is very painful to be in, despite the money.
I can make you a one of a kind car from scratch. What's your budget?
@@MilwaukeeF40C that's cool. But here in Portugal cars like that can't be used. So fuck, I need to move to the US, you guys have so much more options for what you can do with cars haha
Just become a sultan
NEVER buy your dreamcar! Trust me.
When I was serving on board the USS Berkeley DDG 15 the ship was steaming off the coast of Brunei when we received flash radio traffic from the US embassy that the Sultan had invited the ship to diner with the Sultan.......... We dropped anchor and took the Captains gig and the motor whale boat along with the RIB to shore and we were treated to a beach party/bbq compliments of the Sultan of Brunei the year was 1986
Lol love the subtle “I think you should leave” reference at 4:44

I feel like atrocities and bummers are a far cry from each other.
Imagine being an executive or an engineer working at these high end companies and talking these guys and hearing their insane ramblings of what they wanted to buy. They probably wanted some absolutely insane shit and were told no many times. Like “No sir, we will not paint a picture of you having sex with Aphrodite on the hood of a gold plated Ferrari f-50, there’s no amount of money you could pay us to make us do that.”
"6.9 million dollars."
And then they did it.
This comment made me laugh my ass off, and what's sad id the likelyhood of it being true.
What amazes me as well is, those guys wasted so much money for supercars, yet none for a private racetrack to use them to their fullest (Which is where I'd start, and do the airconditioned garrages next to the racetrack) . I guess for people with money it's like books, buying them and reading them are two distinct and separate hobbies :( .
If you think about it, most of those cars only drove about 1,000 miles fewer than their maximum lifespan anyway!
But for real, yeah that's painful to think about for so many reasons at once.

This makes me sick. There’s so much good that could have been done with the resources wasted on these cars rotting away. It’s like a dramatically worse version of buying too many groceries and watching them wilt in the fridge. This family certainly supported a lot of artisans, engineers, and craftsmen by ordering all these cars, but they could have used their resources to have those same people build more useful things. Heck, even if they still used their money to buy all those cars but lent them out for driving experiences-inspiring some kid with a chance of thrashing or wrecking one of those cars is better than letting them sit in a garage, rusting and peeling, damned for their entire existences never to hit the road. The 0-mile odometers part is sickening.

We used to import JDMs through Brunei and some Bimmers and Benz too. Nissan Patrol are all Bruneian plate numbers as it was never sold in Malaysia.
The Sultan dosen't own the Zero R.
The fact this man mentioned Mark Davis who drives a mini van and has a bowl cut hair style and isn’t into crazy cars despite his MILLIONS of dollars
I feel Like it should be illegal to destroy the rare cars in an garage as it’s basically art
that Bentley Dominator is just proof of how money can't buy taste, ugh
The Bentayga is also ugly af!
Prince Jefri basically single handedly funded the R&D departments at Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, and McLaren in the 90's.
Does that give the idiot the right to let the magnificent cars to die for nothing
Sadly, that doesn't mean he created much wealth. By buying up these things, he's created billions of dollars of demand, which reduces supply, which increases prices for everyone on all the materials and components these cars use. That means the price of even metals goes up. He not only wasted these cars, he basically screwed everyone else in the world too because of the inflation it caused in various markets.

My uncle worked as Prince Jefri’s London fixer. He managed his house and the staff there. Just in case he decided he wanted to visit London for a few days. The furniture in the house was renewed every so often. My uncle would occasionally give us some of the furniture that was being disposed of. So my working class family home in North England was just filled with ridiculously valuable rich dude furniture all the time.
£20000 chairs and desks would just be rotated out for new ones. I was too young to understand the level of opulence and waste at the time. But now I think about it, it’s pretty wild.

Bruneian here!! Proud!! 🫰🏻
Do an up to speed on Tatra finally. They have everything. 3rd oldest car manufacturer, being copied by Porsche, Dakar trucks, Mad Max trucks, starring in Kanye video, big aircooled V8s, killing nazis. Like what more do you want?
jo tatru!
The Tatra trucks are pretty rad. 8x8’s & such.
Notice how leftists will weave nazis and hitler into everything while being the only ones telling people what to do and think.
@@WHDRWN O.o Wha?!
That's the history of the brand. When the 3rd reich occupied Czechoslovakia, high ranking officers were using seized Tatra luxury vehicles, as they were better. A certain number of them were driving recklessly and killed themselves in the cars. Apparently the number was so high, that nazi officers were forbidden to drive Tatras. Tatras were killing nazis, literally. Are you okay, aren't there any leftists under your bed? :D
@@jankubat2694 you have a penchant for fantasy, none of that happened, take ur medication.
they have talked about ultra rare super-cars, and we already know they have some other gems in there like the Zero R R32 or something along the lines of a TME rs
Hi Suzuki Swift Sport.
Not to jinx or anything , but they actually used to own a Zero R R32, then it got sold to a citizen
@@yes-tx5ju yes, after having the engine blown to bits. final drive? i think? did an episode on it, just search zero r r32 brunei final drive, it'll come up
@@psyloshroom3973 Wait who blew the engine? The royal member who owned it or the citizen? Bcus from what I know, the citizen who owns the zero R repaired cars for a living
Bro changed cars when their ashtrays filled up💀
Great and interesting episode! 👍🏼
Greetings from germany!
As a supercar guy this gives me extreme pain
I feel like this would make any car guy feel pain
@@gb___ I feel like any guy would feel pain if you don't you don't have feelings
same here buddy
I had no idea the enclave was into supercars, i guess they count as advanced tech from the old world
True sadness😔
It would be a pretty perfect action movie style heist to snatch some cars, load up some cargo planes and fly em up to the states. Though, if anyone does, I get the CLK GTR hardtop and one of the 959s for coming up with the idea
I call dibs on a 962 and CCX
I’ll take an F1 and A CLK GTR hardtop
Dibs on a Porsche 911 and Ferrari F40
I'll take one of the lambos and another 911.
I'll take the CLK GTR Roofless Roadster
"You know this kid hurt animals" 🤣
the fact that someone parked them all is amazing!
I mean, I've done way too much research on this collection and it's literally unfathomable. Buying one of those cars for the average person is an enormous sum of money, and they just bought them like hot cakes. The fact that they were literally able to have manufacturers design and develop cars specifically for them that didn't exist yet is unreal, especially with companies like Ferrari. They had a Bentley SUV decades before Bentley technically even made an SUV. The fact that they bought over fifty of the exact same car is nuts.
I'd give so much to be able to spend even such a short amount of time in those garages and it's sad that they are decaying and just simply abandoned like that. Not that I condone this spending. I love cars and if I had crazy money I'd probably buy more cars than I technically need, but buying 75 of the exact same Rolls-Royce is ludicrous. There are people in economic crisis and you just keep buying millions of dollars worth of cars like mad. Sad to see.
Disappointing that incredible and rare cars like the F1 and the EB110 and especially those special editions made exclusively for them are never shown to the public and shared with the people who dream of owning cars like that someday, and especially that they are now just rotting in some warehouses.
Completely agree with you. Saw an F50 few years ago and it was awesome and the fact that this guy has so many duplicates of extremely rare cars is sad like if hes never going to drive them should at least let people see these cars. Because he has 50+ of the same model for some cars it shows hes not a car enthusiast but more like a hoarder. like If hes never going to drive them whats the point in having them he isn't keeping them for investments because some are beyond repair.
Man I almost couldn’t give this video a like. So damn depressing…
But I gotta show some love for the boys at *Donut* 🔥🔥
Oh jeez, I wonder how many high quality well made videos you disliked because the subject matter made you sad.
@@RyanInSD This, lmao
@@RyanInSD yes. Now i count 1000 subjects.
@@nvrndingsmmr hi M B.
@@RyanInSD ikr what a clown
Nothing is beyond repair. Especially priceless cars.
When you mentioned he wanted to design his own car, 1st thing I legit thought of was Homer Simpson designing a car for his long lost brother
It’s probably true that the Royals’ favourite car brand is the Rolls Royce.
In Brunei we would see the Sultan going to public events/visits in a classic Rolls Royce or the Brabus G65.
It is sad that a lot of the other cars won’t be seen ripping the tarmac tho.
What loser the king is, he could have taken good care of his subjects instead of spending money on cars, sex slaves n unwanted thing's.
@@arjunanamishru You clearly haven't visit Brunei yet... You you called out leader a loser? Pftt... Keep on dreaming kid.🤣
@@kingsimbol790 a man who goes on ego trip by splurging money on cars, sex slaves is definitely a big loser.
The world should learn from the King of Bhutan how to take care of his subjects.... If u have stopped sucking up to ur loser king read about the King of Bhutan.....
@@arjunanamishru the countries ppl dont pay taxes, no electricity bill and free healthcare 💀 i dont think he is a loser lmao
@@Zigzag5710 freebies is different and taking care of the people is different.
Check what Bhutan king does for his people.
When you have so much money you actually don’t know what to do with it…
whatever you do dont spend it with Finar ^^^^^
Hell I would’ve bought my own country
I was born and raised in Brunei (they didn’t give me citizenship though 🥲) but I have nothing but love for the country!
The Sultan loves his people, is humble and a stand up human being.
Of all the cars he has, his favourite to drive daily was his custom ML 55 (this was pre-2010)
There are buildings full of cars by other royal family members too that I used to drive by.
So cool to see a video of Brunei 🇧🇳! Shout out to you guys at Donut media
what a shit take
Its like collecting hotwheels on a big scale. 58 vette: GOT IT! VW drag bus: GOT IT! Custom fast back mustang: GOT IT! Go racing dude. Thats what I'd do lol.
This video is even more painful when you remember that mother nature is literally just spitting oil at them begging to be put in the cars
Fun fact Sultan of Brunei and our beloved Sultan Qaboos of Oman (which passed away 2 years ago) used to gift each other rare cars. Our Sultan has a collection too not as big as the one in Brunei but definitely has some gems. Plus they r well taken care of in under ground parking lot, AC, wash, recharge etc
It is amazing that having so much money he could only think on consuming instead of creating
i know imagine the science research the funds could have provided
It just sucks thinking that there are McLaren F1s, Ferrari F40s, Lamborghini Countachs, Muiras, Astons, all of it all together, rotting away in a jungle. I wish someone could take these cars and bring all of them to their former glory (even if they are replica parts and not legit (because that would be expensive))
So as car guys, I think we can all band together. We can band together, travel to Brunei, take these cars, and show them the love they deserve. It’s just not right,
Finally a video on this treasure of a garage. I've seen a one-week-old photo of the Nazca on a tow truck out of Brunei. Looks like someone has decided to save my favourite supercar ever😍😍😍
They singlehandedly kept Rolls Royce and Bentley (and i believe Lambo too) afloat during the 90s.
Their story is fascinating (for the wrong reasons). For someone who loves cars, a lot of it reads like a horror story.
Jeffri was done in for corruption charges or something along the lines so that is why his collection was allowed to be viewed by outsiders. Due to those charges he also is no longer allowed to purchase the latest cars and half of them are literally rotting away in that storage facility (some high (low?)lights include turning 300 S600s into a reef). That's why his collection appears to have stopped at 90's Need For Speed Nirvana. The Sultan himself apparently is still adding to his collection and his collection has rarely been seen by outsiders. So if he's still doing it, I wonder how many secret Chirons, Koenigseggs and Paganis he has.
And apparently, they are so inbred that you could add up all their IQ together (according to a diplomat who had frequent dealings with them) and it still wouldn't equal a normal person.
Edit: I read a ton of articles (and a few books) and spoke to a few people about 7 years ago regarding the duo (and their spawn), their story is a cautionary tale in wanton excess.
Some cars did escape from prison however; one of, to explain their "awesome" taste, would be a grey F40 which was finished with a full Testarossa interior. So all that weight reduction, completely wasted.
And IIRC Hakeem hates driving manual or something like that, so that's why they got Prodrive (I thought it was Williams too...) to develop the semi-manual shift. 🥴
One of the members of the royal family has a Pagani Huayra in silver lol. I've seen it a few times being driven by the Sultan's son.

@@raehilang There was a Pagani Huayra parked in my Condominium for a while. Garbage human original owner was done in for running a ponzi scheme. Seems like the type of car a person would buy if money was too easy to come by.
Those "royalty brothers" suck, we can agree on that.
Jeffri built the Empire Hotel, absolutely decadent in every detail except there's no alcohol beautiful swim up bars, just to drink soft drink and fruit juice.
When my dad was deployed in Afghanistan he got to see saddam husseins car collection when they stormed his palace, not a lot of people talk about it but he had literal mountains of good inside this place, with Ferraris and Lamborghinis everywhere my dad said that after the war and when the military was cleaning through the palace they found rubies, gems, diamond, gold coins, ancient clothes with real gold and gems inlaid, and the saddest thing is you go outside of the palace and there are people literally walking around naked or are so skinny you can see their stomach lining. Money and power turn people into monsters , and it’s sad how we still see this happening today
Your first special car is unforgettable.
But when you are now on your several hundred, it tends to feel less and taste like ash.
The curse of excess where the thrill of the buy is more than the ownership. Hence the constant pursuit of another in an attempt to obtain the same joy as your first.
Such is the balance of nature.
Brunei shows what would happen if one man could spend a national fund for personal use. Could have elevated his people's standard of living, but no, the royal family lives in excess at the expense of everyone else in the country.

Ummm. Brunei is fine. I lived in the country for the longest time and people are doing just fine over in Brunei.
He does elevate the standard of living, it's why the people don't riot cuz he actually does maintain the law and order there.
And when COVID happened, Brunei was the only country in the world to have gone for over a year without any cases before a string of Delta cases hit the country, by then, the Sultan had been getting people vaccinated.
Sure what he did to the cars is bad but don't take the spending habits of one weird family to mean that brunei is messed up.
@@NFCloud That would just cause a big inflation in the country and make money worthless if everyone was millionaires. Not saying that his expensive lifestyle is justified but the country is working good and their leader is living a lavish lifestyle. But is he weird for the cars? Yes
@@muchluck7981 wait really ?!
@@yacinealg152 Yeah no hardcore poor and people were quite happy when i lived there 20 years ago. Of course not everyone has millions of dollars but i dunno, America is the greatest country and quite a number of them still have no homes and crappy healthcare.
