Hmm...Say about 400-500  Quite possible.
He's got a collection of around 5000 premium cars. This is what one of the sites have to say abt him. Quote:

Sultan has 6 such cars. | Quote:

And I think its a waste o fmoney and art..no one should hold soo much of anything..be it money, art or cars...
I think having a lot is great but monopolizing like this is a disgrace and it doesnt come off as a collector but an obsessive disease...anyhow..I hope some one steals those from his collection and sells them around the world..someone needs to pull a "gone in 60 secs" with him, or i hope he goes out of power and then they disolve his priceless collection of things..including cars..i really do hope so..
anyhow..sultan makes me sick..anyhow..i surely do hope that these cars see the day of light and some road atleast once in a year.. |
