Rolls Royce Phantom is already an extra expensive vehicle which is currently on sales at around $450,000. It is not known what's the exact price the millionaire has paid for this gold-garnished luxury car. Even though he said he got it at a discount price, we believe that the price of this car would not be any lower than a few crores.
