Australian Billionaire’s Astonishing Car Collection Revealed
Introduction
Australian business magnate Laurence Escalante has amassed an extraordinary collection of modern supercars and hypercars, making it one of the most remarkable collections in the world. This collection, which has recently been unveiled in its entirety, is even more impressive than anticipated.
Background
Laurence Escalante, the founder and CEO of Virtual Gaming Worlds, a popular online gaming platform, experienced a significant increase in his net worth during the Covid-19 pandemic. With a current net worth exceeding $3 billion, Escalante resides in Perth and began building his car collection approximately two years ago.
The Expanding Collection
Initially consisting of around 49 cars, Escalante’s collection has now grown to approximately 120 vehicles. He expects to take delivery of an additional 70 cars within the next year. Unlike many collectors who keep their cars stored away, Escalante actively drives his cars and allows his friends to enjoy them as well. Whenever there is a car meet in Perth, you can expect to see some of the stunning vehicles from ‘The Lee Collection’ in attendance.
Highlights of the Collection
The total value of Escalante’s collection exceeds $100 million. Notable additions include the only Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro in Australia, a pair of McLaren Elvas (one featuring a complete exposed carbon fiber collection), a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren HDK, and his racing cars – the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 and Ferrari FXX K Evo.
Other noteworthy cars in the collection include the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, McLaren P1, Ferrari Daytona SP3, and a street-legal Bugatti Bolide, originally designed as a track-only monster by the French marque.
Conclusion
Laurence Escalante’s car collection is a testament to his passion for supercars and hypercars. With an ever-expanding fleet of rare and exotic vehicles, Escalante continues to impress car enthusiasts around the world.
