Dikke auto's verkopen, de boel belazeren met beleggen en investeren en in zijn vrije tijd decadente flauwekul uithalen als Gumball's e.d.?

Lijkt mij dan.

Dan ga je toch lekker leuk weer bij Tweakers spelen

Er staat toch wat hij gedaan heeft?
Er staat toch wat hij nu doet?

Of wil je me wijs maken dat jij met gemak een paar 100 miljoen euro er door heen kan jagen
Wat denk je alleen al dat hij krijgt aan rente. En dan nog hier en daar wat belasting verkeerd invullen.

Dus nooit mee kunnen rijden

Zelfde model als die auto hier boven volgens mij.
Die velgen had hij ook. En die horen standaart bij dat type auto

Millionaires caught in 250km/h road race
From correspondents in Tarragona, Spain
May 11, 2004

FIVE multi-millionnaires were arrested at the weekend for driving at speeds of more than 200km/h in an unauthorised, high jinks road race in the Catalonia region of Spain, local police said today.

The annual, yet illegal car race known as the Gum Ball 3000, is famous for attracting participants with an appetite for big-engined cars and life in the fast lane.

Among this year's participants are British actor Adrien Brody, model Jodie Kidd, the singer Jamiroquai and a nephew of Saudi Arabia's king.

The five drivers - all men - detained by Spanish police yesterday are from Britain, Canada and Belgium and are all between the ages of 30 and 50.

One of the drivers covered the 210 km distance between the towns of Sagunto and Cambrils in 50 minutes, at an average speed of 252 km/h on a public highway.

The French police had warned Catalonian officials of the arrival of more than 160 large-engined sports cars taking part in the race, which began on May 5 in Paris.

Police in France's Bordeaux region had fined several of the participants on Saturday for driving at high speed.

Among the pack of automobiles taking part in the race are such makes as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Mercedes, Ford Mustang, Porsche, Chevrolet Camaro, Maseratti and BMW.

According to the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, the drivers of the 2004 event travelled from Paris to Madrid to pay a visit on Real Madrid footballer David Beckham, descended to the Costa del Sol, then skipped over to Casablanca and Marrakech, where they were the guests of Moroccan King Mohammed VI.

The group planned to make an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival upon the conclusion of the race on May 12.

But that last pit stop may have been foiled when 20 of the cars signed up for the race were impounded yesterday in Catalonia.

During last year's Gum Ball 3000, held in the United States, participants incurred more than 21,000 euros in fines.
