Uday Hussein was a major Baller
Car and Driver mag article:
As car collections go, Saddam's was puny compared with his son Uday's. Before Uday was killed in a shootout with U.S. troops, he is said to have acquired as many as 1300 vehicles, spread out in seven garages and all over the countryside. His collection had at least five $80,000 Excaliburs, and there were Bentleys, Bugattis, Astons, and a McLaren F1. Uday's automotive menagerie was pruned in 1993, when his father accused him of disloyalty and in revenge destroyed some 50 of his cars.

UDAY
In 1996, gunmen sprayed bullets at Uday's Porsche, leaving him with a bullet in his spine that forced him to walk with a cane.
Uday's life
A gang of Iraqis on Friday discovered a priceless collection of 30 cars belonging to Saddam Hussein's older son, Uday.
Among them was an armoured Fleetwood Cadillac, a Rolls Royce Phantom, a Mercedes 600 equipped with a bar and a television, two Chevrolets circa 1950, a 1930s Ford and an assortment of beach buggies.
