A super-rich Saudi playboy drew the gaze of his fellow diners as he turned up at the opening of a new restaurant in a £350,000 gold-plated Lamborghini Aventador.
In recent days, businessman Turki Bin Abdullah has been touring the streets of London flaunting his £1.5 million fleet of specially imported supercars - frequenting top restaurants and luxury hotels.
And in another lavish display of wealth at the opening of Japanese restaurant Kiru in Chelsea last night, the billionaire turned the heads of reality television stars Chloe Jasmine and Imogen Thomas.
Abdullah, who is said to have links to the Saudi royal family, has been showing off his custom £350,000 Aventador, £370,000 six-wheeler Mercedes AMG off-roader, £350,000 Rolls Phantom Coupe, £220,000 Bentley Flying Spur and £180,000 Lambo Huracan — all painted a uniform shade of gold and imported from the Middle East.
Having asked for permission from the billionaire, X Factor singer Chloe, 24, could be seen draping herself across the ostentatious car after celebrating the opening of Kiru.
The globetrotting Saudi, who splits his time between the Middle East and London and Paris, has become something of a tourist attraction around London over the past week, having jetted to the UK over Easter.
He has been seen around the capital racking up hefty parking fines in his gold-dipped cars, rather than pay for tickets - though it is unlikely to leave a dent in his wallet.
With its matte gold wrap, his Lamborghini Aventador boasts top speeds of up to 217mph, with a 6.5-litre V12 engine which accelerates from 0-62mph in 2.7 seconds.
Abdullah has also brought with him his £350,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe - capable of reaching speeds of 155mph thanks to its 6.75-litre engine.
At the opening of London's newest Japanese restaurant, celebrity guests were able to choose from an array of cocktails and an impressive sake list.
Hailing from three generations of suishi chefs, head chef Taiji Maruyama was trained by world renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
Aged at just 21-years-old was the youngest chef in Japan to be awarded a blowfish license back in 2002, allowing him to prepare the poisonous fish for his guests.
Chloe was joined by a number of celebrities at the opening of the restaurant, including Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof, 64, and his wife Jeanne Marine and reality star Imogen Thomas.
Abdullah is known to keep his 51,000 social media followers up-to-date and gives them a glimpse into his lavish lifestyle, by regularly posting pictures and videos of his cars on Instagram.
In one, he posted a photograph of a cheetah strapped into driving seat of his Mercedes jeep, while in others he posts photos of his cars parked in exclusive locations in Paris, London and Dubai as he flies them around the world to be with him.
In just one day, Abdullah clocked up three parking tickets after breaching the two-hour maximum stay in bays in Knightsbridge.
The bay in Knightsbridge where three of the vehicles were left costs £4.60 an hour and can be used for a maximum of two hours - however, all three cars had been parked there for more than six hours.
As a result, he fined £80 per car – which can be reduced to £40 if paid within 14 days.
