Because there's more to being a whole person than having crap, even really really nice crap.

THIS JUST IN
Son of wealthier-than-God Arab businessman owns more than you will ever have in your life, ever. The world at large is shocked.


Those are still Daddy's cars in my eyes. That is where the money came from. The kid is nothing special, just very lucky to have been born to that guy.

I wish I owned all those cars. I don't even care if my parents got them for me either.

I could imagine how awesome it would be to roll through campus in one of those cars.

Meh, not impressed.

Appears very little thought went into his collection. It's almost as if as if he simply opened up an issue of duPont Registry and picked one car per page.

Almost everything is newer, and too many serve the same functions. Not particularly well thought out. IMHO its silly to have 6 large SUV's (including 2 Range Rovers), two Ferari 430's. Two Gallardo's (one is a Superleggara, so why get a base model too?).Even more silly when you consider he also bought an R8. He also bought a new Rolls and a Maybach. Seems a waste to have both.

I knew a 21 year old kid who went to college and worked 2 jobs to pay for an S10 pick up and 2 years later a Camaro. Both brand new, and he made every payment on both by working his a** off. That is much more impressive to me.

That's pretty awesome. I would love to have those cars at any age.

Who cares? Why worry and even write about it?

That's less impressive to me. That's quite a bit of money he wasted and could have invested. Mr. Rich kid likely has enough money to waste on cars and invest. His portfolio is probably as big as my phone number, area code included.

Did you buy it before or after you were 18? My parents would never let me have a Cayman S before 18, even if I had the money. That said, I bought my R1 when I was 19, which is way more dangerous, but I was an adult, nothing they could say.

If I had those cars, and that money, I would use them both primarily as beer-getters. Fast, head-shakingly overkill, prestigious beer-getters.

Are you kidding? If I had that kind of money college is EXACTLY what I'd do. No need to work to get by means you can put all your effort into school and still enjoy life on the side.

I think it's a waste of money to have 30 different cars.

I would settle on a few really special cars to me, not typical supercars, but cars I've wanted for years. I think the main Supercar I'd want would be some sort of Zonda though. And a Viper :D

Well I was 18 when I bought it. I had a 300zx then 350z then 2 M3s and now the cayman s. So its not like I went straight there. Kinda built up to it.

I have no plan for school right now but if i was this kid I would be out in California getting some bs degree and partying non stop.

No thanks. I'd be too busy traveling with the world with those cars and driving on Spa, Imola, Monza, etc.

I completely agree, there are a couple classes I could have done WAY better in if i didn't have to work. Also, I'm the only one out of my group of friends that has to work to pay for my school and my cars while all my friends have their parents pay for it all...

Honestly, a super car in itself is overkill. I would take a newer Z over a Lamborghini any day, but that's just me.

That is definitely "just you". You could sell a Lambo, buy a Z and a house.

True. I think that's been everyone's argument since elementary school.
