Meet Aare Boluwatife Akin-Olugbade: A Nigerian Who Owns 10 Rolls Royce Cars
A Nigerian musician once sang I want to be rich and famous. These days, people will rather be rich and live a quiet life.
It is no longer news that some African men love to enjoy their lives to the fullest. They do not care what others have you say about their lavish lifestyle, all that matters to them is having fun.
Not many have heard about a Nigerian man named Aare Boluwatife Akin-Olugbade, who owns 10 Rolls-Royce cars both within and outside the country because he lives a quiet life.
Detailing on his life, he owns his first car in 1984, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of the Owu Kingdom in Abeokuta is described as the world’s biggest Rolls-Royce collector. He is so obsessed with the brand that he buys every released model of the exotic car.
Bolu Akin-Olugbade’s passion for acquiring Rolls-Royce has earned him global attention. Little wonder that he made the list of the 25 select rich men who were invited globally for a private viewing of the new 2019 Rolls Royce SUV called ‘Cullinan’. At the event, he paid for one. The car was reported to have cost him about N400 million. Some of the other Rolls-Royces that he owns include Phantom Convertible Drophead, Ghost, 2018 Phantom V111, etc.
His Rolls Royce cars are in his different homes situated all around the globe. He has 3 Rolls-Royces in his Lagos home, 2 in his London home, 2 in his Los Angeles home, and 2 in his Dubai home. The new Rolls-Royce Cullinan was delivered to his St. John’s Wood, London, home sometime in 2019. It was his 10th Rolls-Royce.
