If there’s one thing King Mswati III of Eswatini doesn’t hold back on, it’s living large, and his jaw-dropping car collection is all the proof you need. Forget modest saloons or everyday luxury cars. This is a man who rolls with the best of the best cars, so rare and refined they belong in a billionaire’s dream garage.
Imagine nearly twenty Rolls-Royces delivered in one go, including everything from the stately Phantom to the ultra-rare Cullinan SUV, all customized to the finest detail. Each one isn’t just a car, it’s a moving piece of royalty, decked out in plush leather, crystal details, and enough bespoke finishes to make even seasoned car collectors do a double-take. And it’s not just one or two of these, he has so many that they had to be delivered on multiple car carriers, each vehicle worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more.
But the luxury doesn’t stop with British elegance. The King also has a deep love for top-tier German engineering. He once famously got a Maybach 62, a sleek, stretched-out luxury limousine that feels more like a private jet on wheels. We’re talking a fridge, reclining massage seats, hidden champagne glasses, a built-in telephone, and sound systems that could rival a concert hall.
That car alone made headlines when it arrived, and it’s just one of many. In more recent times, he added around 20 Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullmans to his collection, yes, 20 of them! These aren’t your regular Benz cars; these are extra-long, ultra-luxurious limos built specifically for Heads of State and royalty. They come with partitioned cabins, mini-bars, starlit ceilings, and the kind of quiet cabin that could make you forget the outside world even exists.
And then there’s the Bentley Flying Spur, a car that merges old-school British craftsmanship with modern speed and comfort. You’ll find it parked alongside his many other vehicles, probably finished in some deep custom color and loaded with exclusive features most people will never even get the chance to see. Word is, he also owns an army of BMWs from the X6s to high-end 7 Series sedans, and possibly even some custom M models for when he wants to feel the thrill of speed with royal flair.
Put it all together, and you’re looking at one of the most extravagant private car collections on the entire continent. We’re talking about a fleet with everything from super-luxury sedans to limited-edition SUVs, with estimated values running into the tens of millions.
But for King Mswati III, it’s not just about owning fancy cars, it’s about making a statement. Every vehicle tells a story of power, status, and an unshakable love for the finest things money can buy. From the glint of a Rolls-Royce grille to the whisper-quiet luxury of a Maybach limo, his cars aren’t just modes of transport, they’re extensions of the throne itself.
And right now, that throne is on Ghanaian soil. The King of Eswatini touched down in Ghana on Tueday, June 24 for a four-day official visit, and has been warmly received in Kumasi by none other than His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. The meeting of monarchs was nothing short of majestic, and fittingly, Otumfuo delegated his cat to pick up the king at Nana Agyeman Prempeh 11 International airport, the finest car worthy of such an occasion, a luxurious Maybach S600, setting the tone for a royal rendezvous that blends tradition with pure automotive elegance.
