Most rich men would buy luxury cars or yachts and some would even buy women for their collection but this prince is more interested in camels... 
The festival also included a camel beauty contest, where thousands of owners strutted their animals in a bid for the top prize of finest overall camel and separate categories related to the age and color of the camels, in which features such as best neck, head, lips, nose, hump, legs or feet, are judged.
Sheik Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the son of Dubai's ruler, Sheik Mohammed, bought 16 camels for $4.5 million, including one female camel for $2.7 million, the state news agency WAM reported.
Can you imagine how many starving people can that amount of money feed? Is it true that most rich people could not be bothered by those who are in real need of money to buy food and shelters? What do you think?

That must be one FLY camel. That thing better scrub my floors, do my dishes, drive me around town and anything else I can think of at the time. It is sad that some people in this world have this kind of money to throw away and wouldnt buy a loaf of bread to help a starving child. I am a believe that this sort of thing comes back to you though. There is one thing money cannot buy and that is morals.
