Sheikh Hamad has been nicknamed the Rainbow Sheikh for owning seven Mercedes S-Classes in different colours.

He’s a billionaire with significant influence in Abu Dhabi and is well-known for his eccentric spending habits.

The sheikh has splashed part of his fortune on an enviable collection of motors – including several vintage Mini Coopers, replicas of 1885 Benz Patent Motorwagens.

He also built the largest truck in the world, a version of the Dodge Power Wagon 64 times larger than the original.

Recently, Hamad was spotted driving a Mercedes W128 with monster truck wheels.
