For those of you who aren't familiar with him, His Royal Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the prime minister and vice president of the United Arab Emirates. "Rich" and "power" are just two words we'd use to describe him, and he's also a big Mercedes G-Class enthusiast, bigger even than the Kardashians.
Sheikh Mohammed likes gold, football and thoroughbred horse racing. But above all, he's the coolest prime minister of all time because he has bundles and bundles of G63 AMGs. How many prime minsiters do you know who take a twin-turbo V8 SUV to the mall?
No security, no bulletproof vehicle and a big, ostentacious vehicle for a man who's net worth is about $14 billion. That shows you the kind of confidence he has in his leadership skills and how civilized Dubai really is.
If this were Paris or London, Greenpeace mobs would be forming, ready to smother that white G63 AMG in oil and goat blood. But the fine folks of Dubai just want to take photos of him.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
