Ever wondered how you would feel if you had a supercar collection worth £ 4.5 million? Ask engineering student Dhiaa Al-Essa! He has thirty luxury motors in his garage, including four Ferraris, five Porsches, three Lamborghinis, two Rolls Royces and a Mercedes SLR McLaren. And it is not the complete story. The value of his collection is set to expand 70 per cent next year when he takes delivery of two more cars.
His Saudi business tycoon father is to buy him a Koenigsegg Agera – complete with gold key – for his 22nd birthday, a brand new Ferrari 599 GTO Roadster and a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is on order. This is an addition price tag of £ 3.5 million.
All have personalised number plates featuring the figures 070, costing about £100,000 a time. The international playboy has spent the summer flying his cars to London, Montreal, Las Vegas and New York to go on driving tours with friends.
I love speed but the limit in Saudi Arabia is 75mph so I’m pretty limited. When the Bugatti arrives I hope to take it to Germany where you can drive as fast as you can. The Mercedes McLaren SLR is my favourite. I love the way it looks and drives and it’s also been reliable for a car out in 50ºC temperatures.
Perhaps you know Al-Essa. He was the person that lost his yello 458 Italia in the warehouse blaze at Heathrow last month. The disaster forced him to use – read carefully people – his Mercedes and even the Underground. He loved travelling on public transport, but his torment will be short-lived because he is replacing the wreck.
The total list of the vehicles includes: Rolls-Royce Coupe, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Range Rover (2x), Mercedes McLaren SLR, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Lamborghini Murcielago P640, Ferrari F430, Ferrari 599, Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari California, Ferrari F430 Novitec Rosso, Porsche 997 Turbo, Porsche 997 GT3 RS, Porsche 997 Turbo Spyder, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Porsche Panamera Turbo, Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes S65 AMG, Mercedes G55 AMG, Mercedes E63 AMG, Mercedes CL65 AMG, BMW M5, BMW X6M, BMW X5M, BMW 760LI, Audi R8, Audi A8, Lexus LS460, Maybach 62.

About his 458, at least he doesn’t have to worry about the recall. He just needs to buy a new one.
All those Saudis will see the end of their wealth soon.
Then they can go back in the desert and look after their camels.
Swank jealously is just going to make you a miserable person, maybe if you take your head out of your ass and work towards your own wealth when u can be like “f u arabs i worked for my shit”
Well, if I were in the samen financial position, I would do the same. But currently i’m happy with my 30 scalemodels!
Swank , Jelousy is a bad thing.
im happy for him. if people like him didnt exist we’d never see these beautiful cars driving around and they would all be owned by snobs who had hidden them away from sun light.
Swank, learn a bit more about the region before you spill your hate and jealousy.
I wouldn’t approve of spoiling a 20 year old this way, but that is none of my business. His dad is making a choice that probably won’t benefit his son in the long run, but hey, he made it on his own, so if he wants to spoil his kid, so be it.
ANOTHER FERRARI CRASH! F430 IN ZAGREB!

I agree with Swank, why are these arabics so rich?
How much are you paying for Gasoline?
In their Middle East countries they must pay less than water.
In my country a normal person have to have a diesel car, if you like gasoline cars you have to buy a 1.4L car, more than that it will be dificult to run it.
I updated the story a bit with new information and full list of all his cars.
It´s a shame: We pay nearly 100€ for a tankful so young boys can spend millions on cars…
BTW it´s an awesome collection of vehicles – if I had the vallet i´d buy the same cars ;)
Can’t wait to see those camel boys going down.
They have only the oil which is not available for ever. When their reservoirs are gone, no one gives a fuck about their cars.
And they can’t bite off them.
Dunno why this is related to jealousy. A 21-year old owning 30 cars worked for his own wealth?
Grow up kid and stop stealing pennies out of your mom’s wallet.
@swank
by the time u see their wealth going down u will DIE
they dont steal it. their parents give them ;)
even if they steal its from their parents.. stay away from family problems :P :P
ok I am from saudi arabia and I drive chevrolet aveo for the last 2 years and I can’t afford another car in the next 3 years this boy is not the rule here in saudi arabia the average saudi make around 2000 us$ no way we can afford a ferrari this is just a spoiled rich boy think of him like paris hilton of saudi arabia ( stupid , rich , spoiled )
Ther ara much better collections in USA and in Europe. All of his cars are new models and doesnt have any real classic as real collectors do. The place to have such cars is Germany thanks to th NO speed limit. Regarding the gas prices the proper country is Venezuela where gasoline is almost free.But then again there is no perfect country where to have this supercars.
909, I’m also happy with mine. LOL!
