It's hard to comprehend that the Sultan of Brunei has $300,000,000 worth of McLaren F1s in his collection

The Sultan of Brunei has a collection of McLaren F1s worth $300 million.

The stuff of internet legend, we knew his car collection would be impressive, but nothing could have prepared us for the 2,000-strong roster hidden in the rainforest.

You know it’s serious when $300 million of McLarens is just barely scratching the surface.

The Sultan’s real name is Hassanal Bolkiah, and he’s been Sultan since 1967. He’s also served as Prime Minister since Brunei’s independence in 1984.

In the 1990s, he and his brother Prince Jefri helped keep exotic carmakers afloat with lavish custom orders.

The result?

A garage packed with 2,391 cars – many of them rumored to be quietly decaying in the jungle heat.

If you’re wondering what exactly $300 million worth of McLarens looks like, so were we.

The Sultan owns four McLaren F1 road cars (about $20 million each), one McLaren F1 GT (around $35 million), one McLaren F1 GTR (around $30 million), and three McLaren F1 LMs (each worth about $50 million).

Some wear custom colors, all were bought new, and every single one is iconic.

Then there are 361 Bentleys, including a custom SUV called the Dominator – and even a Bentley station wagon.

His Ferraris are just as show-stopping, from stretched 456 sedans to Pininfarina-built Testarossa Spiders that Ferrari never officially made.

He even turned a Ferrari F40 LM – a track car – into a full leather-lined luxury cruiser. 

And then there’s the rare stuff.

We’re talking 55 Porsche 928s, multiple Dauer 962 Le Mans cars, two Cizeta V16Ts, and AMG wagons powered by Pagani Zonda engines.

The entire collection has an estimated value in the billions.

And while many cars might be in rough shape due to storage conditions, these ’80s and ’90s tuner-era exotics are only going up in value.

It’s easily the rarest, most expensive and most desirable modern supercar set on Earth.

The Sultan didn’t just collect rare cars — he commissioned them, bankrolled brands, and rewrote what ‘limited edition’ even meant.

And if his McLaren F1s are worth $300 million alone, imagine what else is hiding behind those locked palace gates.

If he ever did open them up, Brunei would become a car lover’s paradise overnight.

But ‘museum’ doesn’t quite capture it – this is automotive mythology, sealed in a rainforest vault.
