Diamond encrusted Motorcycle - Mercedes & Airbus A380






This is certainly the only swarovski crystal encrusted motorcycle I know of and I think it is safe to say that this bad boy costs more than any Dark Horse, Harley or shiny new BMW.

It's proud papa has been nicknamed by Time magazine - the Arabian Warren Buffet; although,
I can't imagine why given his estimated net worth worth ($30 billion) and Forbes ranking (20th richest person in the WORLD).

This certified Babson College International Student is none other than Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.

Food 4 Thought courtesy of Prince Al-Walid bin Tala, 56 yrs of age
a.) Do you think he has ever ridden this?
b.) Isn't this bike a little femme for manly entrepreneur?
c.) midlife crisis purchase maybe, I mean he is almost 60?

BUT WAIT...IT GETS BETTER
His 38th car is a $4.8M bejeweled SL550 - and his Airbus A380 (WORLD LARGEST commercial airliner) will soon be gilded in gold.




After dropping close to $320 million on his new Airbus A380 jet, Prince Al-Waleed of Saudi Arabia is spending another $176 million on ultra-lavish modifications, including a $60 million gold leaf paintjob. An unnamed German company is customizing the interior of the plane to include:

  • A lounge to seat a traveling entourage of 25 trusted aides;
  • A marble-paneled dining room with seating for 14;
  • A bar with curtains to mimic tents of the Arabian Desert;
  • A fiber-optic mosaic that will depict a shifting desert scene;
  • A movie theatre with plush leather seats the color of sand dunes;
  • A series of bedrooms linked to stewardesses by intercom;
  • A gym with Nautilus equipment and running machines; and
  • A large silk bed designed to resemble a Bedouin tent that will be the centerpiece of the plane’s interior.


Reports speak of the decor as being “Lawrence of Arabia meets Star Wars.” Al-Waleed’s A380 will be completed in two years, and in the meantime he will cruise in his Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet.

Fun Fact: Al-Waleed is one of a handful of individuals to own an A380, the world’s largest commercial airliner.
