    Well you guys are partially right:

    "Brunei is an economic paradise among its Asian neighbours. It has a relatively healthy and wealthy population with a 92 per cent literacy rate and life expectancy of 78 for women and 75 for men, far above other countries in the region. It boasts no income tax, free health care, education and pensions."

    But so am I, although it wasn't the Sultan but his brother:

    " In 2000, the Sultan sued his younger sibling in London, accusing him effectively of embezzling £8 billion ($20.7 billion) from the BIA for the sole purpose of supporting his lavish, playboy lifestyle"..."It was alleged he spent in the region of £1.5 billion ($3.9 billion) on himself over 10 years. His playthings included some 2000 cars, comprising the latest Ferrari, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin models, 17 aircraft, including one attack Comanche helicopter, and the infamous SS Tits. Even his toilet brushes came in gold plate. The yacht, custom-built for Jefri in a Netherlands boatyard, measured 180 feet. It had 24-carat gold fittings, marble embellishments and lifts that connected the multiple decks. If the name Tits seemed not to be in the best possible taste, consider the names of the two speed boats that came with the yacht - Nipple I and Nipple II." and finally..."But clouds are on Brunei's horizon, not least forecasts that its energy gas reserves will be gone in about two decades" ... and only then will they question if the 5000 car collection was the wisest thing to do.

    If rich people weren't around with all of their companies, a hell of a lot of people wouldn't have jobs.

    Imagine all the people who have a job because of Microsoft - not only does the company employ a large number of people, but the "popularity" of Windows has helped make home computing a huge industry, which employs millions of people worldwide.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Officially the most expensive car on sale today is the Bugatti Veyron. VAG makes a lost of 3-4 million Euros for every Veyron they manufacture and sell.

    According to recent rumours circulating the web, a one-of-a-kind Pontiac Bonneville A-XE (Auto-Cross Edition) has been found collecting dust in a garage, somewhere in Siberia. Has New Jersey plates and expired registration, probable value in the viscinity of 50-60 million dollars.

    From what I've heard, it's currently being restored in a high-end shop at the outskirts of London. Stay tuned for future information and details.
