The 74-year-old spoke to Forbes after splashing out on the McLaren W1 supercar, and revealed why he is such a huge fan of the brand.

“It’s always been an excellent experience," he said. "That’s why I like these cars. I was there at the beginning and I feel like I’m at the Enzo Ferrari factory in 1948 when all the exciting things are happening.

"And that’s what 2011, 2012, and 2013 were like for McLaren. Of course, as soon as I got my (McLaren) 12C they said: ‘Come here, we’re going to show you something better'.

”Oh, I guess I got to get that. And that’s what I love about them, they’ve always got something better."
