Having A Wealth Of IDR 12.8 Trillion, The Prince Of Johor Who Wants To Buy Valencia Is A Collection Of 300 Luxury Cars

JAKARTA - The name Prince of Johor has attracted the attention of Spanish football since expressing his interest in buying the Valencia club. It turns out that, apart from liking soccer, he is also crazy about luxury cars.

Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim is the son of the Sultan of Johor and heir to the throne of the small state of Malaysia. With a fortune of more than € 750 million (IDR 12.8 trillion), this men's car collection is quite extraordinary.

This 36-year-old man is a sports car enthusiast and has a luxurious collection of around 300 models.

At first glance, Prince of Johor's Instagram account revealed his obsession with football and cars. He is seen posing with some of his huge collections.

Ford GT, Bentley Continental Convertible, Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, Mercedes G63 AMG, Rolls Royce Ghost, Dawn (white and blue), Wraith, and Cullinan (white, black, red) are just a few of the names that can be found in its spacious garage.

Money is definitely not an issue for the Prince of Johor, and sports cars are a relatively inexpensive pleasure compared to the price Valencia has to pay.

Some time ago, Prince of Johor posted a series of Instastories which included screenshots of articles about Valencia and a website that revealed the club's value of 408 million euros.

He also made a statement about why he was interested in buying the club from Singaporean businessman Peter Lim. So far, Lim has not expressed his intention to sell the club nicknamed El Che.

Lim acquired debt-ridden Valencia in 2014 but then fell out of favor, selling off his top players repeatedly to reduce the club's debt.

Last week, Prince of Johor met with Lim, but there was no agreement whatsoever. It is estimated that they agreed to meet again and discuss this business someday.

A few days later, the crown prince responded to a fan on Instagram who asked about his intention to buy Valencia.

"Yes, there is a discussion with the owner (Valencia) so that I have shares in the club", wrote Prince of Johor. But it was postponed due to several complications and problems that needed to be resolved".

And there are several problems, especially Lim's current inability to sell more than 51 percent of his shares due to debt restrictions.

What is clear is that the Prince of Johor appears to be on good terms with Lim.

"Lim saved Valencia from bankruptcy. He is definitely (the owner) better than me", he concluded.
