A 21-year-old with 30 supercars

Meet Dhiaa Al-Essa.

He is all of 21-years-old but he already has five Ferraris, five Porsches, three Lamborghinis, two Rolls-Royces and a McLaren Mercedes in his garage.

He will have no problems finding a ride because there are 30 luxury and sportscars in his garage.

The 21-year-old engineering student is currently the talk of the town. Several automotive websites have picked up on the original report which reportedly first appeared on SWNS.com.

But that's not all.

Next year the value of his collection of cars will double, according to SWNS.

That is because he will receive, for his 22nd birthday, a Koenigsegg Agera and a Bugatti Veyron each worth £1.6 million (S$3.3 million). Without COE of course.

To identify his cars, all you need to do is to look out for the numbers "070" in the licence plate. The student's cars all bear the numbers "070" on their licence plates. This "luxury" sets him back around £100,000 each time he buys a car.

SWNS has identified him as the son of a Saudi businessman. His father is involved in businesses ranging from properties to stock markets.

Dhiaa is not the only globetrotter who takes to Europe and the US every summer.

During the summer he also flew his cars around the world to participate in driving tours with his friends.

Dhiaa told SWNS: "I love speed, but the limit in Saudi Arabia is 75mph so I'm pretty limited.

"When the Bugatti arrives I hope to take it to Germany where you can drive as fast as you can on parts of the autobahn."

His favourite car at the moment is the Mercedes McLaren SLR.

"I love the way it looks and drives and it's also been reliable for a car out at a temperate of 50 degrees," Dhiaa said.
