Bill Gates' car collection
He's the richest man in the world so I'm wondering what cars does he have in his collection? So far I know he has a Porsche 959.

He owns alot of modern exotics! He is not big into old cars like Leno. However, Gates was responsible for passing the law that allowed US citizens to import "collector" cars into US. Before he influence some politicians (with a shitload of money) cars that very not origionally homolagated for the US were Illegal so to speak. Thanks Bill!!

my step brother used to work at ParkPlace Ltd. as a wash rat and according to him there are two Enzos lurking around the Puget Sound/Lake Washington area.
Gates would explain one of them...Paul Allen maybe in #2?

Giving his son 1 million is very bad for his part. I dont think of him as a Charity person. Dont think he will give all his fortune to charity. If he does this, and give 1 mill to his son.. that is one bad father. If I had his fortune, I'd give my kid whatever he wants whenever he wants.
