Life of this people is of course full with luxury and style. They often buy things just if they are expensive. Never mind about their functionality. Take for example cars. Usually made to take passengers from point A to point B. But in Dubai they have different purpose. Even police is copying the rich people, driving McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Mercedes SLS. RUN if you can. But billions are even better. Last year at car show in Dubai, people could see and a few of them buy golden car. It is not a joke, real golden Lamborghini. And if you think that the car is all looks and no performance – well, think again. The Aventador boasts of a V12 engine and a massive 700bhp. The Aventador LP700-4 has a seven-speed transmission, and reaches 100kmph in less than 3 seconds. It has 500kg of gold. So good performance considering extra weight. Price before the auction: 7,4 million US. And if you think this car is fast let’s see first car made in UAE.
The Devel Sixteen, has unmatched power and performance with 5,000 bhp, 16 cylinders, and is expected to reach a top speed of 560 km/h, just under half the speed of sound. Price is not important. He will be sold before even come out in production. Buying cars is one of the pleasures. Other kind is customization of the car. Many of billionaires pay tons of money just so they can drive car with some famous designer name on it. And if you want to custom make registration plate for your car, in Dubai it will cost you $2 million! Imaging giving that money for something you cannot see while you are driving.
Of course where are fast car must be and expensive yachts near. This is not exception. Here every rich man has his private yacht. Pricing, well does anybody care? This is yacht “Dubai”. Owner is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This vessel is 524 feet, 10 inches (162 m) long, is the third largest yacht in the world after Azzam and Eclipse. Including crew it can hold more than 115 Guests on it. Designed by Andrew Winch, with interior design by Platinum Yachts, it cost 300 million US$. This is truly expensive.
Here are expensive and normal stuff like mobile phone. You can buy one for $100.000. Is it from gold? Actually it is. So rich men can drive golden car and talk over golden phone.
