LONDON: An Indian-origin Sikh billionaire in the UK, dubbed as the “British Bill Gates”, has been making waves on the social media with his vast fleet of luxury Rolls Royce cars.
Reuben Singh, the Londonbased CEO of alldayPA and Isher Capital, posted a series of images of himself posing with his wide range of luxury cars – six of which were bought recently. In 2000, The Sunday Times branded him the “British Bill Gates” with an estimated net worth of 80 million pounds (₹741 crore).
“The Jewels Collection. Rubies, Sapphires & Emeralds. It’s ok to be a little obsessed with jewellery as jewellery is like ice cream, ‘there is always a little room for more’,” the 42-year-old said in his Instagram post with a latest set of Rolls Royce. The new fleet bought by the car enthusiast includes three Rolls Royce Phantoms and three Rolls Royce Cullinans. The name “Jewels Collection” comes from the bespoke colours he has chosen for brandnew models.
The latest set of images follow his so-called “turban challenge” last year, a charity initiative to match the colour of his turban with his Rolls Royce. “Thanks Simon, I’ll take you up on the 7 day ‘Rolls Royce Turban Challenge’ – 7 days, 7 different Turbans, 7 Rolls Royces. 2 rules: The colour of the Rolls Royce has to match/contrast my Turban & the cars have to be mine. Raising thousands a day for charity on this bet,” he posted on Instagram before he went on to complete the challenge.
