Saudi Billionaire's Gold Supercars Cause London Gridlock

A Saudi billionaire has been spotted driving his fleet of gold supercars around London, seemingly unfazed by a parking ticket on one of the windscreens. Turki Bin Abdullah, a member of the House of Saud, left his £370,000 Mercedes G63 and £350,000 Lamborghini Aventador SV parked outside a west London restaurant while he dined with friends.

The wealthy Saudi is known for his opulent lifestyle, with cars dripping in gold and cheetahs in the front seat. He flew four of his gold-wrapped supercars to London, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe and a Bentley Flying Spur. His social media posts show his fleet in convoy across the desert and a cheetah buckled into a passenger seat.

This week, he was hit with parking fines totalling hundreds of pounds after overstaying in Knightsbridge. The Lamborghini had two penalty notices for Tuesday and Wednesday, while the Mercedes and Bentley each had one. The fines are £80 each, reduced to £40 if paid within 14 days, meaning the owner could owe up to £320. The vehicles could be removed if charges go unpaid.
