The World’s Weirdest Car Collection features over 200 vehicles ranging from a treadmill and a giant Humvee to an amphibious minivan.
Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan, also known as “Rainbow Sheikh”, is a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi.
He is said to have seven Mercedes 500 SELs painted in different colors of the rainbow which he stores in a giant pyramid.
The Arab sheikh has a taste for doing things on a large scale. He built the biggest truck in the world, eight times bigger than the Dodge Power Wagon, with four bedrooms inside the cabin.

Hamad has built a giant globe-shaped motorhome that is exactly 1 millionth the size of the actual earth.
It has the largest Hummer H1 in the world, with stairs, toilet with sink and a guest area with a 360 degree view spread over two floors.
The giant vehicle is 21.6 feet (6.6 m) high, 46 feet (14 m) long, and 20 feet (6 m) wide, and it is fully drivable.
Built on the chassis of the US Army’s LARC-LX steel-hulled amphibious cargo vehicle, it runs on four diesel engines – one for each wheel.
Hamad was recently spotted driving a Mercedes W128 with monster truck wheels.
Along with his lavish displays of wealth, he became a well-known philanthropist in medicine.
It provided a full operating room for kidney stones to a public hospital in Morocco whose staff it continues to fund.
Its enviable motor collection also includes several vintage Mini Coopers and replica 1885 Benz Patent Motorwagens.

His personal fortune is said to nearly rival that of the Saudi king with an estimated net worth of $20 billion.
Hamad’s money is believed to come from his family’s control of Abu Dhabi’s oil fields.
In 2011, he had his name engraved by workmen on his own private island in the United Arab Emirates called Al Futaisi, forming waterways in the sand.
