Prince Al-Waleed's diamond-studded Mercedes Benz

Prince Al-Waleed (born March 7, 1955) is a member of the Saudi Royal Family. He is the richest man in royalty with a net worth of around US$29.5-billion, which made him as the 19th richest person in the world in 2007 as per Forbes.
Below you will see a showcase of his vast wealth - a diamond-studded Mercedes Benz SL550. This one was unveiled at a car show in oil-rich Dubai to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Mercedes Benz SL550 model. The car costs around US$4.8-million, and if you want to touch it, you will have to pay US$1,000 as entrance fee to the exhibit.

By the way, this is the prince's 38th car!

Hey there
Does others love BMW's as much as me?
This past May, I bought a pre-owned BMW Z3 roadster, and totally love it. BMW is seriously one of the best brand name cars you can aquire. I will always buy BMW's from now on, however I must still say I really like the older design a lot better than the modern models. The old models (really anything from 03,04 in some models back) look genuine german. The newer models look a lot more like japan makes, but nevertheless, they are simply remarkable.
Thanks
Kim
