    In fact, Mr Adani is a college drop out and his story to riches is surely an inspiring one and many could learn a lot from it. While he has enough money to buy top car manufacturers, his collection of cars is a ‘Humble' one.

    His car collection includes a personalised Rolls Royce Ghost, Ferrari California, BMW 7 Series, Audi Q7, and many more.

    Rolls Royce Ghost

    The Rolls Royce Ghost is a special car in Adani's fleet and he only takes this car for special occasions. However, this is not a standard Rolls Royce Ghost as Mr Adani has reportedly customised a few options on the car.

    Powering the Rolls Ryce Ghost is a 6.6-litre, twin-turbo V12 petrol engine. This engine produces 562bhp of peak power and 780Nm of peak torque. This power and torque is sent to the rear wheels alone via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

    As a result, the car can hit 0 to 100km/h in under 5 seconds and reach an electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h. This is more than enough oomph for anyone to go any places at seriously illegal speeds.

    Ferrari California

    A billionaire's car collection without a Ferrari just feels incomplete. Though the Ferrari California was the most affordable Ferrari at the time of its launch, it is still a Ferrari, and Mr Adani usually likes to take this car out for long and relaxing rides.

    While Mr Adani's car collections may look humble in front of his wealth, Mr Adani is more of a ‘Flyer' and owns 3 private jets. This includes Embraer Legacy 650, Bombardier Challenger 605 and Hawker Beechcraft 850XP.
