"Imagine how crazy a car enthusiast could be: owns a McLaren F1? A Dauer 962? A Mercedes CLK-GTR? These become nothing if compare with the Sultan of Brunei. His collection includes 8 McLaren F1s, 6 Dauer 962 LMs, the only right-hand-drive CLK-GTR in the world, a pair of Jaguar XJR-15, a Porsche 959, 3 Cizeta V16Ts, a Lamborghini Diablo Jota .... and 5,000 other premium cars."

According to the myth the sultan of Brunei let Pininfarina produce 7 units of the Ferrari 456 GT in estate version - but he only took 6 for delivery. The seventh car is the one you'll find on all the pictures (and if you're lycky - in reality).
I've heard the car was sold in London on auction with a starting-bid on 500 000$ US Dollar for a couple of years ago.
