Former Senator Dino Melaye from Kogi State has recently revealed his newest acquisition: a 15-vehicle carport valued at an estimated N35 million. This extravagant addition signifies a notable enhancement from his previous setup, offering enhanced protection for his esteemed luxury car collection against various weather conditions.
Situated adjacent to his mansion in Kogi State, the revamped carport features a sturdy steel frame and ample lighting, including LED fixtures for enhanced safety and aesthetics. With this upgrade, Melaye’s prized vehicles now enjoy better shelter from rain and sun damage.
Among the vehicles parked beneath the new carport are prestigious models such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead, multiple Mercedes-Maybachs, a Ferrari California, and a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon SUV. The collection also includes notable vehicles like the Rolls-Royce Wraith, McLaren MP4-12C, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom 7 ultra-luxury sedan.
Melaye’s passion for luxury automobiles is well-documented and often showcased on his social media platforms. Renowned for owning one of the country’s most extravagant car collections, he has never hesitated to flaunt his acquisitions.
In a previous interview on ‘Untold Stories with Adesuwa,’ Melaye shed light on his unique practice of parking some of his luxury cars and bikes in his living room.
When asked about his favorite car among them, he revealed his penchant for variety, rotating between Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, McLarens, and Maybachs. To him, these high-end vehicles are not just transportation but integral parts of his living space, even enjoying the comfort of air conditioning alongside other furnishings.
