    This begs the question: Is there such a thing as too much?

    You might be right. The helicopter is registered in CO, and don't the car's license plates look like CO plates? And I think there was a Veyron that color running around CO a few months ago.

    I always wonder how people end up living like this. And they say when you win the lotto you get bored....I sure as hell wouldn't. Things like this would give me ideas of what to do with my money.

    Depends on the person. For me, definitely, yes. I wouldn't know what to do in a house any larger than 2000sq.ft, or more than 6 supercars at a time ... but hey, I'm not gonna judge anyone who thinks 200 cars is a minimum! LOL

    The Helicopter is registered to a company in CO, while the Gulfstream jet is registered to a company in AZ. Found this link on another site, here are many more pics... http://64.38.252.186/New/RonsGallery.htm

    my first guess was LVERIC because of the lambos and i remember he bought some massive house. Not sure who it is, but he's got a nice collection of cars.

    Impressive, but at some point I would think that a collection like that would become more of a headache than it's worth.

    When the headaches start to exceed the fun, why bother? That's my perspective, anyway.

    Not sure who this Richard Berry guy is but you're probably right. Here's a couple captions from Celebrity Car:

    "Four cars. Eight minutes. $739,800. Richard Berry is on a roll. With the nod of the head, a twitch of a pinkie, this car collector extraordinaire snapped-up four thundering, super-rare Callaway Corvettes. Combined horsepower: 2,726 bhp."

    "There are 18 Lamborghinis, including a 900 bhp Diablo and two new Gallardos. There are seven Ferraris, including an Enzo. Then there are the 15 super-special Corvettes, including a Shinoda-bodied, nitrous-fueled ’92 packing 900-plus horsepower and a genuine 1995 Indy 500 parade car with just 14 miles on the clock."

    well, i guess money can buy you all the toys in the world...but it can't buy you taste... that house is a gigantic collection of kitsch ...
    and what's up with the cars? mmmh, he likes corvetttes -and oldsmobile minivans- better than ferraris (although that yellow dino IS something else) ...
    to each his own, de gustibus non est disputandum !

    :)

    oh, the girl doesn't look too bad though...

    No kidding. The place reminds me of an amusement park in some pics. I guess with oil at the current price, you can't spend it fast enough!

    Most of the interior shots of the house look as those he decorated it himself and used a honeymoon hotel from the Poconos as a model. Very cheap and garish looking.

    250+ cars is pretty excessive. I'd say having 10 cars would be good. I mean with 250+ cars some of those probably don't even make it out of the garage but once a year.

    I don't think its cheap/garish looking, but maybe I have bad taste too.

    Looks like the guy likes his booze though, lots of bars in his house.

    Who is Richard Berry?

    So he's the one with the 40 anniversary Murci-colored Gallardo.. Pretty cool IMO. To each his own.
