Revealed: The man with the golden super cars (with his cheetah in the driving seat!)

- By Richard Marsden

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.
