Although just making news, this supercar collection was seized 3 years ago and belongs to the son of the dictator of Equatorial Guinea. In September, these cars are going up for auction through Bonhams. The 25 cars were seized after he was put under investigation for unfair activities involving money and management. This isn’t the first time this has happened though. In 2011, he had 11 cars seized by the Parisian police. The profit made from these cars is going to social programs to benefit those in Equatorial Guinea. Some of the cars include:
- Lamborghini Veneno Roadster (1 of 9)
- Koenigsegg One:1 (1 of 6)
- Aston Martin One-77
- Bugatti Veyron 16.4
- Ferrari LaFerrari
- McLaren P1
