While 852 million people or around 13 percent of the world's population suffer from starvation, some hundreds (more or less 946) people share one thing in common. Wanna know what that is? That's the overwhelming billion dollar bank account. Warren Buffet, with his $62 billion-fat pocket, leads the not-so-long list of "richest of the riches" list. You might be wondering where Bill (Gates) stands now. Well, he's kicked by his friend Warren, and another one naming Carlos Slim Helu, that's why he's down to the number three spot this year. Anyhow, 13 years of being on the throne isn't bad right?

Now, enough with those 'coz I didn't really write this to give you the top ten richest people today. I wrote this because among those billionaires is the owner of this diamond-full Mercedes Benz SL600. Can you guess who he is? No, he's not Warren, not even Carlos, nor Bill. He's the 19th man on the list - Prince Al-Walid bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (I hope I wrote his name right, weeheh!). Anyway, Prince Al-Walid is a 53 year old married prince who is a member of the Saudi Royal Family. His net worth? Not much, only $21 billion that's enough to make him spend for a diamond-full of car.

So now let's talk about this blingy car. According to the data that I've gathered, this diamond-covered Mercedes Benz SL600 costs $4.8 million. OMG like OMG! I can't even imagine myself holding even just a million dollar or a half. lol! I wonder if he doesn't worry on the thought of this being car napped (is car napping among the fads of Arab criminals? I'm completely clueless, lol!). If you're wondering where in particular these diamonds are encrusted, the answer is all over it! I mean, really. From the hood to the tailpipe, rim, and to the logo, all have diamonds on them. But obviously, the seats don't have those blings...Ok, ok, I'd have to take my word back...not all over but almost all over, like 80 percent??? lol!

It wouldn't be much of a surprise if this would put a total halt to the traffic when it drives down the highway. The glittering is just so overwhelmingly captivating. You surely wouldn't help but just stop and stare. heheh! I tell you if there was a real Cinderella in this world, this might just fit the modern way to bring her to her prince charming just at the night of the ball.

I don't know in particular what makes Prince Al-Walid's SL600 more special other than the diamonds but if it doesn't have any other upgrading, then this diamond-covered SL600 Roadster similarly has the Active Body Control Suspension that a typical one has. It should also have this Sensotronic Brake Control that boasts to have enlarged front and rear disks and a comfy set of heated and ventilated multicontour seats. But then I think I heard that this diamond-covered SL600's seat was made even more comfortable through the use of other special materials...I've read about it but I just forgot what exactly that is, so my apology, weeeheh! But wait...hmmm..I think it's faux-fur, is that right? I think this is the fake type of fur.

And, you might just want to know....Prince Al-Walid is not really a big car enthusiast. In fact he only owns a handful of cars. The diamond-covered Mercedes Benz SL600 Roadster is just his 38th car. Other than those, he also owns this high end yacht and the Boeing 747 jet that serves for his private use. I say, he's not really that rich, hehehe!
