The billionaire barber from Bengaluru, Ramesh Babu, is arguably the owner of India’s largest collection of luxury cars.

He has about 200 high-end cars in his collection, which includes Rolls Royce, Mercedes Maybach, Range Rovers and Bentleys. The same barber purchased not one, but three Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans in March this year.

According to Cartoq, Ramesh Babu, who began as a lowly barber, now owns more than 200 cars. He leases them out to celebrities through Ramesh Tours & Travels.

Sundaram Motors from Bengaluru shared photos of Ramesh Babu taking delivery of three Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars on Instagram. The dealership posted the images with the message, “Your adventure has just taken an exciting turn! Welcome aboard, Ramesh Tours & Travels, to this thrilling journey.”

“Meet your magnificent new Mercedes-Benz E Class LWB — a symbol of unparalleled luxury and top-tier performance bound to capture attention wherever you venture,” the post added. In the photos, Ramesh Babu could be seen receiving a bouquet from a dealership employee. He was joined by his wife and two other business associates.
