- Car collecting is an expensive hobby, to say the least. Not only to you have to have quite a bit of knowledge about all the goings on under the hood of some of the rarest and most expensive cars on the planet, you have to have a place to store them, a mechanic to be on upkeep duty, and… the list goes on and on and on. Only The Richest can even think about starting up a collection, and partaking in it-- Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and the late Paul Walker all come to mind. These car enthusiasts have incredible collections, with hundreds upon hundreds of amazing cars that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else-- or be able to buy yourself! But… There's one man out there who’s car collection makes these celebs look like amateurs. That man is Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei. Reports put his car collection at… 7,000 cars. Oh, and these ain’t run of the mill family sedans here. There no way you are going to find any Ford Explorers here, folks. Remember we are talking about one of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world! He is not gonna just collect ANY random old vehicle! The Sultan collects cars by Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Porsche, and Rolls Royce just to name a few. Hey, it’s good to be the king! Time to take a drive through the garage of the Sultan of Brunei. Start your engines.

Looks like my gta 5 car collection 😂. Bought all the super cars in-game. but never really use them.
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
You can't even own this many cars on gta
That comment make me feel sad it like I have super cars but I am the only one that still drive lowriders

the pictures are NOT from his collection........... its faked.
What people forget is that in the 90s following the last recession the sultan kept rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari etc afloat due to his orders.
Exactly right.
Such a massive collection with a lot of cars that probably just sit and rot. A lot of people think high mileage and constant use breaks down a car, but just sitting is just as bad or worse.
Seals break down and fluids turn acidic. What's the point of owning a car if one doesn't even occasionally drive it?
I believe the cars are rotting as we speak in some jungle warehouse with no climate control. Donut Media source
Cuz he can
Every collects. Some coins, some cards and they all corrode some way or another
I agree with you Jerome but too much of money will not make one sleep .
Every thing in this world is VANITY
@@zainhype98 wow what a great reason, you can also kick puppies or murder someone, “cuz you can”.
The Sultan isn't a "collector": he's the world's wealthiest car hoarder. And the pictures I've seen of his "collection" have all been dust-covered, no matter how new or old. My understanding is that if you're a favored relative/client/friend/other, you can just ask him for any car as a driver - if you can't find one you like, the Sultan will get it for you. And when you're done, it gets parked along with all the other cars....
Seems like an idiot
@@mikec886 for me he is an idiot.

Please tell me where I can buy a Ferrari F50 for $480,000 right now and I will buy it.
Nowhere that car is valued between 2.5 and 3.5 millions

How is that even possible .. you could buy a rolls royce
Really
@@biggatap interested
If I was filthy rich I would drive my cars as it is was intended for. Not locked up in a storage.
No you won't. If you were ritch you would have better things to do then drive a car around aimlessly for hours and hours.
@@Wildminecraftwolf plus you don't tell rich people how they spend their money 💰
Cars are nothing more than investments to them. Most of them don’t even drive, as they’re chauffeured around in convoys
why would you buy the cars when you can buy a factory make your own cars.
@@mahmudsyakiran803 unless you are their advisor.
He's eyeing up all the Mad Max Fury Road cars going up for Auction. Watch him buy the lot
Now that's a collection.
A shame so many of these rare cars are barely driven if at all and some left to rot.
He's no real car collecter, he's just a bored hoarder with far too much cash.
i said the same thing, im not impressed cause its over kill, i wanna see these cars in collections where they are truly appreciated
He's not a connoisseur of cars, he's a gluten, a hoarder, who doesn't even respect these magnificent machines enough to take care of them.
@agenda 2030 his money you mean tax money
so you saying he cannot afford maintenance of those cars?
@@coffeebot3526 No, of course not. But it is well known (and even hinted at in this video and others) when he gets bored of/forgets particular cars (or maybe just need more space) he effectively dumps and simply stops maintaining them, letting them decay instead of selling them on or giving them away.

Imagine if the f50 was $480,000
F40 was 240k 20 years ago
@@bugattiincroyable This video came out last year, F50s sold for 5 million last year lol. They are not 480k lol. Also, from the years 2000 to 2014; there were a total of 18 F40's sold; they were incredibly undervalued and condition unknown sold so we cant say for sure what their "true" value would have been if properly available and sold regularly. That said, *of course* they sky rocketed in price recent years but its also not whats being discussed.
seen a few of the mentioned cars on the road once when driving to work. was a nice sight to behold
Love that The Sultan of Brunei has a chest full of military Medals that aren't from the Military of the country he rules, probably picked them up off EBay.
Asshole other country help other countries has allies they don’t need telling the whole world of what they done african dictator Jean bedel bakossa serve in world war 2 no one knows until you search
@@jackysaintfleur4987 🙄
Like so many so called 'royals' around the world !
🤣
🤯 The Sultan of Brunei actually studied in the British military academy of Sandhurst and the Malaysian Victoria institute under his fathers reign and he did serve in the Bruneian Army for a while
Don't see the point, they're cars that need to be driven, enjoyed and loved.
There is no point...it's called HOARDING...a personality disorder...to make one feel like they have a life...
They are meant to be whatever who owns them deems them to be lol. When you own them, you can decide how much and how often you drive them
@@JgHaverty pretty sure most of these are hoarded up by using taxpayers' money. All this just to sit and rot, instead of using that money to improve infrastructures for the people
Two years ago I saw a Vector M12 at Barrett-Jackson. It was one of the cars from the Sultans collection, and it was fairly dilapidated. The paint looked like shit, some of the exterior panels looked crooked. The car was behind some ropes but it was easy to look into the driver and passenger windows to see inside. The interior door panels looked warped and where the doors have these little tiny windows under the main door windows there was what looked like glue had be slowly dripping down the glass.
The tires, despite being old, looked like they had been completely unused…
That car was GM plastik junk even brand new it has a ford taurus steering wheel
That's how all sultans stuff is
*I LOVE THIS CHANNEL IT SHOWS ME STUFF I COULD NEVER AFFORD*
I was lucky enough to get to work for the Saudi Royal Family, and was in charge of their exotic car collections. I got to drive many of them to give them "exercise" so that the engines wouldn't freeze up.
Success usually comes to those who are too busy looking for it.
Very true.

This is so great full man all my dream cars
This king took car collection to a new height.
💀
Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said about maintenance :/
Every house have more than 4 cars .
I’m sure all the poor people of Brunei are so proud of this collection. Ridiculously absurd and sad.
The oil revenue in Brunei is the Sultans personnel income.
@@rodgerjohnson3375and? What’s you point? Let me guess, you’re defending him. Lovely.
@@69Muscle You are an idiot Steve. I am stating a fact as it was reported to me by a friend who was in country for several years. Now go to the local food bank and distribute government cheese and dried milk.
@@69Muscle the poor in brunei are richer than those in the west. None are homeless, free education, free healthcare (from basic health care to surgeries) all are free. Monthly allowance to the poor amounting at least $700/month per family member. Yes I’m bruneian, and yes I’m a close member of the royal family.
@@ohyeahyeah4119 whatever you say. Sure. Blah. Blah. Blah.
I was his waiter. It was a luncheon for Rolls Royce owners and enthusiasts. They came from all over, and they weren't necessarily all super rich guys. They all, I'm sure, made good livings, but actually they came from all walks of life.
After the lunch was over, they hung out in the parking lot, looking underneath the hoods, and doing what all car guys do. Then they got into their cars and all took off together for a Sunday drive. Maybe a hundred guys and their Rollers. The lunch was held in the Tuxedo Park Country Club in upstate New York.
It must have been hilarious to see people in the neighboring towns wondering what on earth are almost a hundred Rolls Royce's doing passing them by on Route 17 in the little town of Sloatsburg, New York. Too funny.
Thought for sure you were getting ready to say he didn't tip shit...lol
Oh how crazy stuff there
Awesome 👍 fantastic ❤
Great article about this in the latest issue of The Road Rat (#9). It’s just an insane story. The brother, Prince Jefri, was the driving force behind the hoarding of cars. Their spending was appearantly vital in keeping Rolls Royce and other luxury brands alive during the 90s. They kept whole departments busy with customization of the vehicles before delivery. The brothers even bought a C-130J Hercules transport plane for bringing in the cars thirty at a time. Sadly it seems like 90% of the collection is scrap by now. It’s now considered an annoyance and embarrassment by officials in charge. Oh, and Jefri also had another hobby. The article mentions that he “kept a vast and constantly evolving harem, a diverse international buffet of around 40 models, actresses and escorts who were scouted and recruited from all over the world...”.
I've heard the same about harems and slaves still being kept in certain Middle Eastern countries. Pathetic. If not for Western investment and oil money, they'd still be living like it was 1925, like a lot of Africa.
What do you mean scrap? The cars are "unrestored" in collectors terms with like 0 miles on the odo and even in their current conditions are worth more than they were bought for. However, I dont think they ever going to go on the open market. EVER
@@tavo.B It’s a quote from the article in The Road Rat #9. Mike Sheehan is a Ferrari-dealer who is one of the few outsiders to have seen the collection. He tried to buy cars from the collection in 2002 without any luck. He says “ninety per cent of the cars are now scrap”.
In the article Sheehan goes on to describe “McLaren F1s and Ferrari F40s ‘cooking in the sun’ in one glasswalled building; literally hundreds of 500 SLs and SELs left out in all weathers, windows open, ‘all totally destroyed’. Inside, rows of special bodied Ferraris and Bentleys decayed in the tropical humidity, tyres flat, seals perished, looms and ECUs all shot. Plus leather interiors bloomed with inch-thick mould in the airless confines of cars undriven since they left the factory”.
Sheehan also explains: “Every once in a while, someone with the right connection, on the right day, gets a car out of there”. So if you are a bigwig in the oil industry, having a meeting with Brunei’s ministry for oil, and you’re talking cars... You might end up with a F40 as a parting gift.
@@rolf-arnesand2304 I read that article. But it also mentions only about 1000 cars are there.
Wikipedia says a majority of them were sold when the bankruptcy hit with the oil price crash in 1998.
Another question I have is, if his net worth is 20billion , why cant he switch on the air conditioning? Lol too rich to care ..

Wow, I hope the collection won't fall apart
I hope it falls apart and goes to those who will actually drive them rather than keeping in garages forever
I can confirm you, we store a ton of rolls royces, some are never drived at all.
@@ohyeahyeah4119 who we?
@@tusha2747 my dad, urs dont?
I was lucky enough to come across a straight 12 cylinder Damler double six with twin super charger, only two ever built I think in 1934, in cheddar gorge in 1982, I wonder if he has it.
Sick Mann 100%
imagine being the salesman :
yeah i like this one , i will take your whole stock
salesman; umm but sir...
I DONT WANNA LISTEN!!
Forgot to mention he also owns 7 McLaren F1s, they’re worth 20M + each
That's Is actually the 3rd best car ever produced.
My list Is
1) Gma t50s ( by far because has been made 30 years later)
2 ) Ferrari F40( Nicola Materazzi project)
3) McLaren F1 ( Gordon Murray , owner of Gma.
All others bullishit Cars like one to One , are just some heavy Trucks ,and this Is why they don't race :) ( and nobody understand that)
And he doesn't drive them. Poor F1s just left to rot.
@@RCLepcha yes, it’s very sad, McLaren should get in touch with this man and get all them off his hands!
@@BRZZN yea if the cars could speak they would be grateful
did you know why it was 7? One belong to the king, the other is for his family members. so technically, the king owns just one
Too amazing
Wow amazing
Every time you fill up your car with gas you can think about this magnificent collection!
I like to spend my lockdown time in this garage
I know I know but I would love to have one of those modern double RR😊
Amazing 🤟 🥰 💫❤️ great for the king .
This is a great channel! I only caught sight of you folks in recent times, but it’s now among my favourite channels....
"If that doesn't say 'I love you' to your wife, I don't know what does."
How about actually saying 'I love you'? It's free, and you don't have to coat it with gold.
he has 5 wifes lol
Obrigado por mostrar 🙆🏿♂️👀🇧🇷💰
Wonder if some of these are down in Isleworth, Middlesex?
these 2 brothers by themselves saved the Italian car designers back in the 80's and 90's. For that alone we owe them. Could you imagine a world without Pininfarina, Zagato, Carrozzeria Ghia etc!
How did they save them? Because they bought their cars?
@@toxicgracie3772 They paid them, which kept the doors open.
As much as they're looked down on for hoarding so many exotics, they do deserve credit for that
The Sultan had special built one-offs by all sports car manufacturers .
Those are more valuable
Exactly. Plus the world's largest personal collection of McLaren's including an F1 GTR Longtail!
RESPECT G
Materialism on an epic level.
He collects them as a token of the love for his people, who dannot even afford a bike
Meanwhile 🙂 I’m still working to finally have some money to buy the electric scooter 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I’ll be there someday !
You will reach the top my brother, keep on pushing and Dont Stop !
@@nodontlookatme8057 I appreciate that brother and I will 🙏🏻
You can do it
Looks like my collection that I dream of every night
The next fast and furious should be about a heist where dom and his crew does the most daring challenge to get the cars.
if they liked a suit they bought 100 of them and they're all in the same color
cartoon vibes
I'll bet he has car's that he's forgot about not to mention that he hasn't had the chance to drive every single car yet.
I would love to drive those cars!🥰
Boss!!!!🔥
I'll take my VW Jetta to 140 mph on my beloved Autobahn. That's fine with me.
Lets raid it
Sick guy.
Amazing 🇨🇭
The car collection was mostly bought by his brother Jefri and was not properly maintained, a lot of the cars have serious problems from being left standing in strong sunlight for years. His brother was also prosecuted for allegedly embezzling about $15b and a lot of the cars have been sold so I heard. Quite a few articles about it if you Google.
When your so early the kids that wish your parents aren’t here yet
Damn top that Jay Leno 🤣
Amazing car collection - the rarity and eclectic choice is outstanding! 😎
Well, I guess it's quite easy to be eclectic and owning rare things when you are super rich.

I had a friend who worked for Bechtel. About 40 years ago he left for Brunei to build a new 100,000* sq ft palace for the Sultan. Man, did he have the stories to tell.
Can you ask him if anyone can buy some cars from the sultan?
@@aliadel7690 I'm not sure he ever spoke to the man but to comply with your request I need a time machine.
@@aliadel7690 actually... I wanted to tell you that all of this cars our sultan own did not actually he's own to begin with....😌
Wow man
No mention of the 11 McLaren F1s that he owns/owned or the incredible run of Ferrari FX commissioned! Or the numerous Diablos, 959s, EB110s, etc.
In '75, Guinness Book of World Records listed The Sultan as the richest man in the world with a reported $25+B.
That was when oil was selling at $5/barrel. His country actually sits on an oilfield. Do the math!
Brunei is the 5th leading south eastern Asian country in terms of oil
I worked for the Sultan during the early '80s! Part of my duties was to visit the 'Istana' (Palace) on a monthly basis. I have seen the collection of cars which, at that time, much smaller. The Sultan and I are the same age, and so we had a number of conversations in and around the Palace and storage area. He's a decent bloke actually, despite his phenomenal wealth.
It's pretty fucked up for someone to spend so much money on bullshit like cars that sit unused in a warehouse collecting dust when that money could have been used to actually benefit other people. No decent person would spend money like that.
@@gnomechomsky2524 I don’t seen you donating your money to charities or helping anyone. Don’t put it on the wealthy to help the poor do it yourself.
@@Crowned1000 I don’t have tens of billions of dollars, moron
@@Crowned1000 worst response i have ever seen
@@gnomechomsky2524 Really! You said collecting dust? I think you missed the part when he say the current values of these cars. Dickhead! Lol
I know the mindset and all that is different than mine. But man it would kill me to know it would be difficult to drive all my favorites and would feel like i lost time or didnt have time for them.
Wow wandarful love to
The Sultan didn’t actually buy most of the cars here; he repossessed them after his brother spent the country’s money on pretty much every car there, and since so many of them were owned by the royal family, the companies that distributed the cars wouldn’t let him sell them. So he’d just drop them at auction locally every now and again and left the others to rot. Weird story about extreme wealth though.
What a rotten family. And now these works of art are rotting as well.
@@ErikNothingMy bro have you actually done any research about the royal family? Or do you just watch these kinds of videos who are absurdly biased against monarchies because their monarchs are horrible themselves
some of the “lesser” cars are sold at auctions from time to time, including porsche 911s, mercedes s classes of all kinds of color combos, rolls royce and more
WE ARE ON OUR WAY OUT
nice car collection....
I love cars forever🙏🙏🔝!!!!!

it's not a collection, it's a dealership, he just doesn't know it yet
I heard about this decades ago, in one of the car mags. They said cars were dumped to make room. If they bought 100 of a car, dumping some to make room seems plausible!
We have one of his old cars in for work now
I like this video
Lol anyone want to pull a hist
Sad that I've known about this guy for like 20 yrs but still don't even know his actual name. "Sultan of Brunei" is the only thing I know.
It can help and feed alots of ppl.
I really NEED (Not Want) one of those Enzo’s 😂
4:52 v12 engine that makes 295hp?? lmao
As shocking as those stats are don't forget it was 1991
Don’t forget about the f50 for less than $500k😂
Don't let this distract you from that fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civic's with Spoon engines, on top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 T66 turbo's with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
Madness
Sickening.
If I had unlimited money I would definitely have a lot of cool cars, but I could never make myself order hundreds of the same car lol. My collection would look more like Manny Khoshbin's
When I was a kid, I always used to buy the Guinness Book of World records at the book fair each year. I remember the Sultan was the richest guy in the world at the time, this was the early 90's. Must be nice, but then again I don't put any stock in family or royal money, that's not really earned. I hope he gives a lot to charity or something
legend has it brabus shipped 50 7.3 amg w140 to sulten of brenei they did 227mph in 1990s and cost 250k in that times money
If you have a car collection you must look after them which most people do, but his collection would need a full time
Garage Staff to keep them running. He obviously has so much money he dosen`t know how to spend it, i am not at all jealous
i have a couple of nice cars, not in the same league as his but i run them look after them and enjoy driving them.
some cars have escaped the collection including the yellow mclaren f1 and a extremely rare rhd yellow f40, others never made it to brunei like a couple ferrari enzos and a few one off ferraris including the FX and Venice spyder to name a few
Do you know how can so cars escape from his collection?
@@aliadel7690 sometimes more basic cars are sold at auctions, but higher end ones (special ferraris, mclaren f1, clk gtr, eb110) will probably be kept in the possession of the royal family forever
