   Billionaire buys $26 million private garage in London   
      
   How do you find parking for 80 supercars and classics worth tens of millions   
   of dollars in the middle of London?   
      
   Buy a $26 million garage.   
      
   That’s what an unidentified Middle East billionaire did a few weeks ago when   
   he purchased an underground parking facility just off Hyde Park, according to   
   The Times. The 130-space garage is located in the ritzy Knightsbridge   
   neighborhood and was    
   already outfitted with high-tech security systems and a large valet staff to   
   serve its high-end clientele.   
      
   Parking rates previously ran at about $40,000 annually, while ownership of   
   some individual spots changed hands for over $500,000 each. Its former   
   operator tells The Times that the buyer got a deal, as his collection is worth   
   more than what he paid for    
   the garage, which works out to about $200,000 a space.
