Between $360k and $500k depending on whether you get the 5.7 liter V-12 or the 6.3 liter V-12 and the various options (curtains, Sony Playstation player, special paint, DVD storage, etc., etc., etc.).

Sounds like he's ballin' out of control. I'd like to be in a position where that was my cheap crappy daily driver.

A girl who lived in the same apt. complex as me last year had one (the M57). Gosh I wanted to impregnate her for her vast wealth. I would make the perfect trophy husband.

Id opt for a Bentley Brooklands personally...

...they are uber baller, or the Arnage T...

Bentley > Maybach .....or nearly any other car for that matter

it take the leather of 400 cattle to produce the Brooklands interior.

Who saw Jeremy Clarkson blow the tires of one on TopGear? literally blew the tires off of it.

Yeah I agree that thing is brutally awesome. Bentley Brooklands 6 3/4 Litre FTW. It has freaking 774 ft*lbs of torque and will do 184mph, because it is awesome and not limited or some such bullcrap. All this while bathing you in the sweet buttery deliciousness of 400+ bovine skins, flayed to perfection by an army of slave children and softened by their hot, salty tears. Mercedes can't even come close.

Not to mention Bentley's coachworks division, Mulliner, is more than happy to cater to your needs should you prefer white rhinoceros hide and bald eagle instead of cow for your interior furnishings.

I saw a maybach going down I85 in SC a few days ago. I too thought that it was a Hyundai.

Maybach 57 = more expensive S class, you dont really need a chauffeur.

Maybach 62: Basically a limo. reclining seats, bar, etc. Needs chauffer.

I've seen those around Hollywood. I think the movie studios use them as cars to go get the actors/actresses from the airport and such.

Why on earth would anyone EVER buy a short-wheelbase Maybach? I don't know why the SWB model even exists.

I hate the Maybach anyway. Not only is it fugly and generic looking, but it is the antithesis of a driver's car.
