Whats funny is I had a bet with a company owner next door that Carlos was going to overtake Bill Gates some months ago. So I'm $100 richer now, another 68 billion and I'll be richer then Carlos...lol

There was a funny article that said he could buy an exotic car every single day, and it would be like one of us buying a candy bar everyday...wouldn't put a dent in the pocketbook lol.

He has a nice collection already, has a massive garage on his property. He was one of the proponents in getting some laws passed that allowed cars like the 959 to be imported legally.
