Millionaire teenager and self-styled 'Lord' has his £500,000 fleet of luxury supercars destroyed in series of arson attacks he blames on 'jealous rivals'A millionaire teenager has had four supercars worth more than £500,000 torched by arsonists in what he claims are a 'vile act of jealousy'.
Aleem Iqbal, 19, from Solihull, West Midlands, who goes by the name 'Lord Aleem' on the internet, had his flash Lamborghini set alight last Friday - just five days before three more of his super cars were destroyed by vandals.
The teenager, whose runs a luxury car hire business in Yardley with his father, said the culprits would be going down 'for a long time' - and he would 'sit back and enjoy the show' once they did.
But the wealthy car fanatic - who has a number plate on one of his cars reading 1 ORD for 'Lord' - admitted the loss was not of a scale that he would 'lose any sleep over it'

I don't support anyone damaging someone's property.

I'd be willing to bet they were all completely insured.

(72,790 posts)4. Most likely.
But a perfect example of the need to take personality responsibility. It is not right to damage someone's property. I hope these punks take personal responsibility for their actions.
