Sultan of Brunei: Small Country – Big Pimp

I live in Los Angeles, so nice things don’t really phase me. Porsches are a dime a dozen, Bentley’s and Rolls are everywhere, and half the world’s Ferrari’s live here.

Ok, the Ferrari’s still get me. They’re niiiiiiiiiice.

But every once in a while, something comes along that reminds you what being truly rich really means. It could mean you own your own island. Or perhaps it means you have the largest house in the Hamptons.

There’s a Nas line from the song “Not Going Back” off his latest album that goes “Real millionaires spend $60 million on paintings.”

(or put their elbows through them)

So that must mean that real billionaires roll like this (click on thumbnails for full-size):

Total Cost: $220,000,000 ($100MM for the plane, $120MM for remodeling). Yes, that is a solid GOLD sink. I would honestly like to meet the guy that buys something for $100,000,000 and decides that it needs another $120,000,000 to be up to par.

FYI – I don’t see ONE plasma anywhere. Hell, that 103″ plasma from Panasonic is a meager $51,000.

At the end of the day, all of us thousandaires (at least until the rent check is cashed) can rest-assured that $220,000,000 still can’t buy you good taste.

  1. wow, thats nuts man. i thought it looked pretty nice. but i completely agree, money never equals taste and it certainly doesn’t have any correlation with class.

  2. WOW! You’d think that he could have shelled out a few bucks and had an interior designer help him out with the decor. Or maybe used that money to help better his country and it’s people… I guess every Sultan needs a solid gold sink though.
