Revealed: The man with the golden super cars (with his cheetah in the driving seat!)
THE playboy who has been painting Knightsbridge gold with his flashy fleet of supercars yesterday opened the door on his extravagant lifestyle.
Mega- rich tourist Turki Bin Abdullah outed himself on picturesharing website Instagram, revealing images of himself in his motors – including one with a cheetah as a passenger.
A separate video appears to show Mr Bin Abdullah driving through the desert in a Mercedes off-roader, chasing a camel down a steep slope. A friend of his jokes on the social media site: ‘My drive home from school.’
Mr Bin Abdullah’s gold-painted cars – all with Saudi number plates – have been turning heads in London ever since they showed up on the streets around the five- star Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel. The vehicles include a £370,000 sixwheeler Mercedes Benz G63 AMG off-roader, a £350,000 Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster, a Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe worth £350,000, a £220,000 Bentley Flying Spur and a £180,000 Lamborghini Huracan.
The vehicles have been seen driving around the streets of Central London in recent weeks as the playboy – who is thought to have links with the Saudi royal family – has visited boutiques and sights.
But, from the pictures shared on Instagram, it is clear the £1.5million fleet has been on far more adventurous journeys.
As well as the cheetah picture, Manchester United-supporting Mr Bin Abdullah also posted images of himself driving his golden cars around the streets of Paris and Dubai. His blinged-up web page also includes pictures of him frequenting top restaurants and wearing expensive watches.
Yesterday an aide to the Arab tourist was stood outside the Carlton Tower for much of the day, occasionally removing parking tickets from the windscreens of his boss’s cars. The vehicles have been attracting many tickets because they have been parked in street bays without any payment.
The aide insisted his ‘businessman’ boss would be paying the multiple fines.
