although its true that when having billions of dollars, you wouldn't be caught dead driving a pos like a daewoo or something around that line, IMO, driving something old or less expensive gives it a kind of nostalgic feeling to everyday "richness."

I'd own mostly exotic and expensive cars but a side of me wants to fulfill my teenage dreams of building up a clean a** CRX, or tt supra, 72' datsun 240z (w/ a gtr motor perhaps ). i mean with all that money, i really can fix up those ol' classics that i grew up on. Wouldn't you guys do the same thing? Just bc you became a billionaire doesn't mean you still can't keep it real, right? I personally will still be driving a crx even if i'd have all those cars bc it was my first car, my "baby of all babies."

 

Some people, even rich people, don't care about cars and can also be thrifty. There are multi millionairs that drive econo boxes because they care about the environment. Like DeCaprio and that blond skinny chick from Charlies Angels. They both drive Toyota Hybrid's. Go figure.

 

i was lookin over that list of billionaire's and their cars owned.... Bill Gates has some weak @ss cars for being worth 46 billion dollars! hahah OMG the collection I would have if i was that rich.

 

ya but that '88 956 is like driving a bugatti. there are like 10 in this country. and his is the only one that i know of that can be driven everyday. i think that is the same car that was featured on the original bad boys...

 

I think they do that for PC PR crap. They drive them when they will be seen, but I'm sure they have exotics also.

 

You should note that it didn`t say he DROVE the Daewoos, only that they were parked next to the Rollers. He probably didn`t buy them, anyway. Maybe the "staff" uses them to go buy truffles, and stuff.

 

thats the thing all of you are buying cars to drive, do you think they drive themselves around, with that much money i guess cars are the last thing you think about, high ticket items for us are cars and house, for them cars are just like house phones to us

 

do you think the rich has time to drive a car around? no. they spend most of their time trying to make more money.

 

i have a client that bought a '06 FX45 as his smoking car... his weekend driver is a porsche 911 and the normal car is on order-- bentley continental GTC convertible

maybe one day i'll be able to do the same

 

"Now, after waiting some 10 years, Gates can finally enjoy his other favorite Porsche: a rare (1 of 230) 1988 Porsche 959 Coupe. In fact, due to the 959’s questionable emissions and unknown crash ratings, it took a federal law signed by President Clinton for Bill Gates to legally drive his 959 on American roads. Rumor has it that Bill Gates and Paul Allen employed Microsoft engineers to write a computer program that could simulate the 959’s crashworthiness, which helped in the bill’s passage."
