Diamond Covered Mercedes of Prince Waleed

THE CAR COST $4.8 MIL.

AND IF YOU WANT TO TOUCH IT, YOU HAVE TO PAY $1000.

IT BELONGS TO PRINCE AL WALEED FROM SAUDI ARABIA.

This should convince you not to buy foreign oil products.

Remember this when gasoline cost $5.00 a gallon.

You paid for this one!

Sultan of Brunei 's Private Airplane

This aircraft was being 'remodeled' in Waco

Yes, the sinks are solid gold and one of them is Lalique crystal.

The Sultan bought the aircraft for roughly $100M; had it flown to Waco, brand-new, had the interior completely removed; and had the folks at E-Systems (now Raytheon) install $120M worth of improvements inside and outside.

Maybe the rich really are different than the rest of us!
