Top 10 Richest Men In The World & Their Cars by carsnazi(f): 11:09am On Oct 22, 2019
1. Jeffrey Preston Bezos
Net worth: $131 billion
As large as the earth is, it sure feels awesome to be the richest human in it, to be the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and to give about 4% of that cake to his ex-wife, while still remaining the center of attraction. The 55-year-old CEO owns a 16% stake of Amazon, he was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jeff Bezos isn't just the founder and CEO of Amazon, he also owns Blue Origin and The Washington Post.

If you are the richest men in the world, owning less than 10 cars can be considered a "modest" trait. Below is the list of Jeff Bezos' cars which he hardly drives to the public. He has many things to do other than flaunting his automobiles, I guess.
Honda Accord (1996) - ₦1 million
1988 Chevrolet Blazer - ₦5.6 million
Lamborghini Veneno - ₦1.8 billion
W Motors Lykan Hypersport - ₦1.5 billion
Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio - ₦1.1 billion
Bugatti Veyron Mansory - ₦1.2 billion
Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita - ₦1.7 billion
Jeff's private jet, a Dassault Falcon 900 EX - ₦14.9 billion


2. Bill Gates
Net worth: $103.4 billion
Originally named William Henry Gates, the second richest man was born on October 28th, 1955. Bill Gates founded Microsoft Corporation, the software company, with Paul Allen in 1975, where he owns just over 1% stake. Along with his wife, Melinda Gates, whom he married in 1994, he chairs the world's largest private charitable foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Currently, he's the second richest man in the world but you'd be amazed to find out that Bill has been on Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people since 1987. To blow your mind further, Bill Gates held the position of number one on this list from 1995 - 2017, except four years!

Warren Edward Buffett is considered one of the most affluent investors in the world, running a conglomerate that owns more than 60 companies. He was born on August 30th, 1930, in Nebraska and he's currently the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Since 1970, Warren Buffett has been the largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway and he's earned himself the title of "Oracle" or "Wizard", considering the large investments he's successfully tied with.

Warren Buffett cars & houses
Warren Buffett doesn't own luxury cars, he probably doesn't see it as a worthy investment. According to Forbes, he only drives about 3,500 miles a year, so the need for a car is so minimal. On the other hand, he currently owns a 2014 Cadillac XTS, worth about ₦19.8 million. In addition, he has a home in Omaha, Nebraska, worth ₦11.4 million and a Bombardier Challenger 600, named “The Indefensible”.


4. Bernard Arnault
Net worth: $76 billion
His full name is Bernard Jean Étienne Arnault, he's a 70-year-old French super-wealthy man who resides in Paris. Bernard Arnault is the Chairman and CEO of LVMH - Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, a French conglomerate, with its headquarter in Paris. He's also a great investor, considering the fact that the luxury/cognac conglomerate manages about 60 subsidiaries. Currently, he is the richest person in the fashion industry, he took the seat from Zara's Amancio Ortega in April 2018.

5. Carlos Slim Helu & family
Net Worth: $64 billion
As mentioned earlier, this list fluctuates a lot: as we know it, Carlos Slim was once ranked by Forbes as the world's richest man, this was a consistent reality from 2010 to 2013. It's very possible he retakes that seat. Currently, he's the richest man in Latin America and his family runs the biggest mobile telecom firm in Latin America, America Movil (parent company is called Grupo Carso, a Mexican conglomerate).

He was born in Spain, on March 28th, 1936. The fashion group was co-founded with his ex-wife, Rosalia Mera. They got married in 1966, divorced in 1986, and she died on August 2013.
