Well, I guess this proves they didn't become billionares by blowing all their $$$ on cars! LOL!:D

Ben:addict:

[Leadfoot]

What no Audis.:confused:

Well it just shows, no amount of money can give you good taste.:doh:

[maarten]

They realy don't care much for what car they are driving in are they :D

I like the 959 some have a few special cars but the most are realy lame if i had 50 billion $dollars$ at least 2% would go in to my car park but then again i'm a real car freak I want al the cars I can't afford :P

[Audihead]

Millonaires are cooler than Billionaires, they like cars. For example people like Nicholas Cage, Jay Leno, Ralph Lauren. Those guys have some sweet rides!:0:

[sturs6]

weren't the 959's illegal in the US when they were released?

The difference is Billionaires and Millionaires are Billionaires are businessmen and none are celebrates unlike Millionaires. Millionaires have lost the respected of money and Billionaires never do.

Billionaires can respect money, be eccentric and do what ever they want to do. But for pete's sake can't they drive something cool too? Sure you could some restraint by driving a '88 Mazda pickup, but why. Dear god why?:D I also think they may have holding companies that have their cars registered under those names instead of their own. Once you become that rich, you really don't want your name involved with owning certain things.;)

I think audihead's right -> most of those guys do own other cars ... but they're registered somewhere in their companies.

but ... despite of that ... I do find the volvo of the Ikea finder so cool -> well ... no rolls, no h1 ... nothing bling bling -> just a volvo 240
:) :)

... Ikea has for sure registered a few cars on its name.

Go, Ingvar! Love the car. So practical. So, well, Swedish. If it works, why throw it away?

But seriously, if you're that focused on building an outrageously successful business and accumulating vast savings in the billions of dollars, is it any surprise that you might not make car collecting a priority? And if you've got a driver in a fleet of corporate cars taking you from office to private jet all the time, is it any surprise that you might not want a car that's a pure driver's car? And if you really did collect cars, would you really register them under your own name? I think not.

Gotta like the 959s though...Paul and Bill must have gone shopping together that year as MS stock shot through the roof.

You have just say correctly, what I was trying to say in my earlier post. Anyway how can a car collection compete with owning a football team for entertainment. Check out how many Billionaires own Sporting Team, be it football, basketball, baseball or American football. They are in these to prove that money can buy you success, and you know what - they're right.
