Scam-accused billionaire BR Shetty & his collection of luxury cars

Bavaguthu Raghuram (B.R.) Shetty, once regarded as the richest person from Karnataka is all over the news currently for massive frauds. Young B.R. Shetty migrated to the UAE from Karnataka, India in 1973 and became the founder of multiple brands including the NMC Health and UAE Exchange. The UAE-based billionaire stepped down as the co-chairman of NMC Health earlier this year after the shares of his company fell over 70 per cent since December. The shares crashed after a US-based investment firm shared a report alleging that NMC Health inflated cash balances and understated its debt. Bank of Baroda announced they are seeking to recover loans more than $250 million from Shetty and an Indian court has also frozen his properties. Well, apart from all the alleged fraud, Shetty has said it on multiple occasions that he loves cars and his garages in India and UAE tell us the same story. Which are the cars that Shetty owns and uses regularly? Here is a list.

Rolls Royce Phantom

The Rolls Royce Phantom is the car Shetty loves the most and uses the most too. He has been spotted with the Rolls Royce Phantom at several events and uses it regularly to make his entry more impactful. BR Shetty bought the new Rolls Royce Phantom in Abu Dhabi. Shetty sometimes drives around the car all by himself too and has said that he loves driving the Phantom. The Phantom that he uses is the last-generation version but it was the most luxurious car with world-class features.
