While such luxuries of lives seem to be a norm for the wealthy Arabs, they are brazen about their vulgar spending. A couple of years ago, Saudi King Salman grabbed headlines with a 100 million dollar vacation in Morocco.
Nothing stands truer than this statement when you compare your life to those living in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. While most people across the world of us struggle to find enough make the ends meet in a month, some people there know nothing but luxury.
There’s hardly any material thing which money cannot buy. But some of the things owned by the residents of Saudi Arabia and UAE are just outrageous and bizarre.
The wealthy Arabs just name what they want and they get it. Be it from which part of the world.
The Rich Eccentrics of Saudis
The Middle East area, rich in oil and gas, is popular for the wealth and lifestyle of its inhabitants. Luxury cars are very normal in these countries. The ultra-modern and luxurious infrastructure of Saudi also is also mind-boggling.
The stifling heat in the UAE is not a worry for the rich business families of Saudi Arabia. They have enabled facilities with air conditioning in the subway, and in major shopping centers
These eccentrics have strange tastes. They have wild animals at their homes, gold plated luxury cars and more. It was not so long ago when a Saudi prince hired a whole flight to transport his 80 falcons.
Falconry is quite popular in the Middle East, and the UAE even requires passports for the birds to fly. And the UAE government has apparently issued passports for more than 28,000 falcons between 2002 and 2013!
Gold Plated Cars of The Arabs
Ultra-expensive cars plated in gold are just another scene in Dubai. Well not just in Dubai, the rich arabs flaunt their riches in the London as well.
The former King of Saudi King Abdullah was said to have amassed a $28bn fortune by the time of his death in 2015. His luxury car collection included a six-wheel drive Mercedes jeep, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Rolls Royce, and a Bentley Flying Spur.
Well, more than 90 percent of India’s population still does not own a vehicle. Not even a cycle.

Exotic Pets of Arabs
Arabs are known for flaunting their wealth online, posting snaps of their designer shopping hauls, super cars and trips on private jets. But they did use to have the signature of their status unless they have an exotic pet. Yes, until sometime back, the super-rich Arabs would not settle for anything less than a tiger, cheetah or a lion.
