He has $30 Billion and This Is The Car He Drives



Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud:

Rolls-Royce Phantom $400,000

As the nephew of Saudi King Abdullah, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud is no stranger to the finer things in life. His free-spending attitude is easily seen in his garage, where he always buys a duplicate of every one of his vehicles. Two Infiniti FX45s, two Hummer H1s and two Volvo XC90s all take up residency inside the Prince’s lavish garage.


The reason for such excess? The Prince buys one vehicle for himself and an exact duplicate for his body guards. A glimpse inside the Prince’s garage also reveals a vehicular absurdity: parked next to two Daewoo Matiz’ are two Rolls-Royce Phantoms. The reason for such an odd placement? The Prince holds a significant stake in Daewoo, the Korean car company now controlled by GM.
