Crown Prince of Dubai visits Vancouver (PHOTOS)
-from the article:

He previously visited Vancouver in March 2013 and during that stay made Canada’s most expensive real estate deal. His family’s property at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel covers 15,000 square feet over the building’s top three floors, encompassing the penthouse plus three sub-penthouse units to create one massive luxurious penthouse unit with unparalleled views of the inlet and mountains.

-wonder what cars the prince owns. :suspicious:

I don't know if it's a publicity thing, but to me it's kinda cool that he's getting out and doing real Vancouver stuff, like hitting the mountains and what not. Seems like he's taking a lot of photos of different places himself too. Rather then hitting the clubs throwin' money round.

not gonna lie. saw thread title and pictured this

Tegra_Devil 05-01-2014 08:15 AM

Whenever you hear of some richer-than-rich person being in any town, I always picture them being covered in gold and other rare jewels, protected by a gang of twenty bodyguards, and staying hidden away inside a fully blacked out, armoured SUV. As jegresh said, even if it's simply a publicity stunt, it's nice to see that even the ultra rich can be just like you and me and enjoy the same outdoor activities as us. If I ran into him on the street, I wouldn't know him from anyone else (likely due to the subdued nature of his clothes), and I kinda like that.

He should be throwing that money to:

- The Indian slave male carpenters who built the city
- The Various ethnic female housekeepers who get beat to shit
- The various child jockeys who are sexually abused.

On the surface, it sounds like all the above ^ would get paid livable wages due to wealthy clientele but that simply isn't the case

The fact this comes from Van City Buzz is really no surprise

He seems like a pretty chill dude, i'd have a beer with him.

Is that you in the comments in the link in the OP? Or some other guy has the exact same avatar on there :suspicious:

!LittleDragon 05-01-2014 11:49 AM

Some people just like attention... lol

My company's owner Dennis Washington is also worth about 4 Billion and has a few places in Vancouver but many people don't know who he is because he's pretty low key.

belaud 05-01-2014 11:58 AM

You don't need to look rich to be rich, those that floss their "status" are usually the ones living paycheque to paycheque.

GS8 05-01-2014 11:58 AM

His garage: The luxurious Garage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan | MSN ..

This guy was just born into the elite. He doesn't have to do anything except make people aware of who he is.

And what better place for a rich person to visit than Vancouver where everyone, including the rich, strive to be rich as if nothing else in life is important.

yeah and maybe he's not the crown prince of Dubai as well

Jgresch 05-01-2014 12:06 PM

6 bugattis lol....

He's got good taste in expensive cars though.

I would not call owning Bugatti having good taste.

Jgresch 05-01-2014 12:24 PM

But I like his choice of the 599 fxx, f40, f50, enzo and mc12...

another black dude, doesn't even look like me..

dhari 05-01-2014 12:34 PM

I saw him on Saturday afternoon outside the Fairmont Pac Rim getting into a G-Wagen.

freakshow 05-01-2014 12:39 PM

He might have good taste.. or he might have just been buying all of the most rare/expensive cars he could… I would be more impressed if he had cars like an F1 and a '55 300SL Alloy Gullwing

Ulic Qel-Droma 05-01-2014 12:39 PM

pfft... he came here to smoke drugs. duh.

boostfever 05-01-2014 12:47 PM

this is his garage I guess...

he does have good taste in cars. Having so many newer Bugattis are overkill though


donjalapeno 05-01-2014 12:49 PM

I definitely thought he look like this...

http://www.nickialanoche.com/wp-cont...-trailer-0.jpg


and make his grand entrance riding a camel through downtown with lambos escorting him.

tofu1413 05-01-2014 12:58 PM

seems like a pretty chill guy. wouldnt be surprised if any of us have bumped into him and had a beer with him at a bar.

Jgresch 05-01-2014 12:59 PM

^ Wolfgang I think thats the first time I've ever 'thanked' you

noclue 05-01-2014 12:59 PM

Maybe his friends and acquaintances will notice and come as well and bring their cars like London. But then they'll all leave cause the nightlife can't even compare.
