The center-stage of the world, the epitome of globalization as we know it, Dubai is backyard to the filthy rich. An incredible beauty, one of seven Emirates that make up the UAE, Dubai’s strategic location made it a commercial focus. Home to the Sheikhs and their ancestors, if the World was a town then Dubai would be the club, the place to be. People from all over the world come here to spend their hard earned money! However, the Sheikhs, well.. they don’t always have to work to set trends. Here are some pictures from the ridiculously rich and extravagant lifestyle of people who belong to Dubai.

The Arabs don’t think mainstream when it comes to pets. Exotic cats such as lions, cheetahs and tigers are regulars. These animals cost more than the normal person can imagine but anything that makes the Dubai lifestyle stand out is worth it!

What do you do when you’re filthy rich and have two lion cubs to feed? Simple, in Dubai, you get them a shark to feast on. BERSERK!

You bought the best car.. but so did everyone else in Dubai. There’s a huge traffic jam and you’re getting late. Do you worry? Nope. You just call your helicopter to rescue you from the traffic.

They’ve got Ski Dubai! A self-created ski-resort where tourists from all over the world come to celebrate winters, 12 months a year. Dubai is paradise, as long as you can afford it.
16. The Palm Island Dubai

The Palm Island Dubai, a wonder of the world in itself. Classical engineering topped by lavish and extravagant stays.
If you’ve got money to spend, Dubai is the place to be. The rich Arabs/Sheikhs and their extravagant lifestyles might never be matched by anyone.
As is the saying that a Sheikh’s son in America told his father he felt bad that he drove a gold Mercedes and his teachers/friends came by the train. The Sheikh replied and said: “son, don’t embarrass us, go buy yourself a train..”
