Diamonds on wheels: the 5 most incredible collections


If collecting a part is already something tremendous, imagine collecting classic cars from the past and the present. How much pride and devotion wouldn't you feel should you possess a magic list such as the one of these five lucky men.
The first one is the TV actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld, one the most famous contemporary comedians in the USA. Seinfeld, however, is quite serious when it comes to his Porsches collection.
Actually, he takes such good care of them that he frequently rents an entire hangar in an airport in California just to conserve his machines of steel. His collection is so vast that it includes some of the classic models 911, of different years, ten Porsche Boxters (each in a different color) and also, the very expensive 959 Porsche (its estimated cost is 700. 000 US dollars).
Another cars fanatic is Ken Lingenfelter, an American finacier, who is fond of "muscle cars" and super sporting cars.

In no time, he became one of the biggest collectors if the U. S. with rare Corvettes, Dodges, Impalas, Camaros and cars such as Bugatti Veyron and even an Enzo Ferrari.
There's also Jay Leno, the popular presenter of The Tonight Show, who has bought depots the size of three football fields to store his collection of over 80 cars and 80 motorcycles. Made up of all the best, of course. Amongst the pieces we can find models of cars from the beginning of the twentieth century, from the decade of the fifties, a formula 1 car of McLaren, and even a 1941 firefighter's truck.
Ralph Lauren, the company, other than fashion, is also into good cars. The more the better. Their collection of old classics include models of Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz and Bentley. It is one of the most valuable collections in the world. There is a reason why the collection of the company of Ralph Lauren is kept in a secret place.
And last but not least, on the contrary, he is one of the greatest classic cars collector: Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei. This oil multimillionaire has the greatest compilation of automobiles in the planet. It is 2,500 vehicles, amongst them some of the fastest, more expensive and most bizarre in the world: Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz , Ferraris, Bentleys, BMWs, Lamborghinis and much more...
It is more than incredible, it is hallucinating.
