Imagine having the world\u2019s largest residential palace<\/a>, which has a 110-car garage as well as nearly 2,000 rooms, and costs over $1 billion to build. Well, that is exactly what the Sultan of Brunei has.<\/p>\n

The Sultan of Brunei has one of the most incredible luxury homes you could ever dream of, plus a garage housing some of his fabled car collection.<\/p>\n

The Sultan has the biggest car collection in the world, and one shrouded in mystery, with just a handful of images leaked to the world online.<\/p>\n

For automotive fans, it is what is inside that amazing garage that truly counts.<\/p>\n

What is inside the world\u2019s largest residential palace?<\/p>\n

Located on a leafy, riverside sprawl, the palace is situated on the banks of the Brunei River.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a few miles southwest of the country\u2019s capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.<\/p>\n

The Guinness World Records officially states the location as the largest residential palace<\/a> in the world.<\/p>\n

With an estimated net worth of $30 billion, it\u2019s no surprise that the Sultan of Brunei has such an incredible home.<\/p>\n

The location spans over 2.15 million square feet and has over 1,700 rooms.<\/p>\n

These include a banquet hall with enough capacity for over 5,000 guests.<\/p>\n

In terms of facilities, there are over 250 bathrooms and a mosque that can hold up to 1,500 people.<\/p>\n

Swimming pools are another highlight, and the palace is often used for state functions.<\/p>\n

But for automotive fans, the garage is the real highlight of the world\u2019s largest residential palace.<\/p>\n

What is in the Sultan of Brunei\u2019s garage?<\/p>\n

Only a few leaked images<\/a> have given us a glimpse into the Sultan\u2019s car collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that, in total, he has at least 7,000 cars in his personal collection.<\/p>\n

That includes the biggest private Rolls-Royce collection on the planet, with more than 600 of the luxury cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fact that the palace\u2019s garage can hold just 110 of them highlights the scale of the collection.<\/p>\n

A vast array of Ferraris, including the custom 456 GT Venice, also features.<\/p>\n

The Sultan also commissioned a special Ferrari F90 exclusively for himself and the collection.<\/p>\n

Leaked images on Instagram gave us some idea as to what this vast array of cars looks like.<\/p>\n

Yet for the most part, the Sultan\u2019s personal fleet has remained a great enigma of the automotive world.<\/p>\n

Sultan of Brunei car collection highlights<\/p>\n

Bentley Dominator: This 1990s custom 4\u00d74 was commissioned decades before luxury SUVs became an industry standard. The royal family purchased six of them for an estimated $4.6 million each, an influx of cash that reportedly saved Bentley from bankruptcy at the time<\/p>\n

Ferrari F90: Six of these special-edition supercars were secretly built by Pininfarina in 1988 using the Testarossa chassis. The project was so highly classified that Ferrari officially denied the cars even existed for 17 years<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce Silver Spur II Stretch Limousine: Plated entirely in 24-carat gold, this bespoke vehicle is valued at roughly $14 million and was famously used for a royal wedding procession<\/p>\n

McLaren F1: The garage originally housed 10 of these legendary hypercars, with around seven reportedly remaining today. This lineup includes ultra-rare racing variants like the LM and GT, which are now valued in the hundreds of millions on the current market<\/p>\n

Ferrari 456 GT Venice: Pininfarina was paid massive sums to re-engineer the classic 456 grand tourer into highly unusual, custom body styles. This resulted in several four-door station wagons and convertibles built exclusively for the family<\/p>\n

Custom Ferrari F40s: While almost all standard F40s left the factory in signature red with cloth seats, this collection features several custom-ordered versions fitted with full leather interiors, air conditioning, and unique paint jobs like matte black, silver, and green<\/p>\n

The Rolls-Royce Fleet: Setting a Guinness World Record, the property houses the largest private assortment of Rolls-Royces on Earth. The fleet totals over 500 heavily customized cars, including hundreds of one-off limousines<\/p>\n

Chevrolet Corvette: Tucked away among thousands of one-off, multi-million-dollar exotics sits a single, standard American Corvette, showing that even a $5 billion garage has a little room left over for a regular production sports car<\/p>\n
