Yeah. What a fag.
For the most part they really do lack an imagination... it's actually quite sad.
Wow, the list of good cars out of those is very short...basically the two 959s and the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The Boxster and the 911 Cabrio are good too but really kinda poor showings from people with that much money.

You have to wonder how many of these billionaires ride around in cars registered to their corporations rather than themselves, and thus aren't on this list...
