On top of that, apparently they are getting their own fleet of cars for transport to/from work. The Audis will be left with the main fleet and they are getting new BMWs in a deal with Meydan and the autodrome.

Being in a 380 compound would be a lot of fun. It'd be cheap to buy but a month later you'd have the "handyman" coming by every week (at cost) to fix wall cracks, faulty plumbing, leaky roof, appliances not working, etc...

You get up in the morning and it takes an hour and a half to fire up the kitchen and get breakfast ready. Pick up a book to read and it's written in French - or badly translated English. Switch on a light and a wiring loom in the garage bursts into flames. Go to the front door to leave for work and the lock won't let you open it. Later, you try to sleep on the world's thinnest, cheapest mattress, placed conveniently in the living room, and be kept awake by some kid kicking a wall in the neighbour's house down the road.

Actually, that sounds like most of the villas... hey, we're ALL living in crappy airbus villas already!

At least the Supers will have a filipina maid to clean the toilet every time they use it - then go straight to make their lunch without washing her hands in between!
