10 Expensive Things Associated with Internet Millionaire Kim Dotcom

10. Dotcom Mansion

Currently thought to be the largest mansion in New Zealand, this home was the one raided by police with many possessions seized from inside.

The home is spread over 22,635 hectares of land and includes private, manicured parkland with sculptures, native plantings, vineyard, and even a lake and boathouse.

There are 12 bedrooms and nine bathrooms, a sun-room, swimming pool, and home office along with a large lounge, conservatory and family room.

The house had ample parking for Kim's many classic and exotic cars with an eight-car garage, helicopter landing pad, and a team of security on stand-by 24 hours a day.

Kim Dotcom rented the mansion for several years before it was sold to Millionaire siblings Anna, Mat and Nick Mowbray in 2016 for $32.5 million dollars.

9. Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG

Kim Dotcom is by far a Mercedes and Rolls Royce kind of man, and we kick off some of his car collection with his Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG that bears the license plate "POLICE."

Most of his other cars also bear very interesting and very expensive number-plates, and this car comes with 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in titanium grey.

The G55 has a 5.5 liter V8 Supercharger engine, a top speed of 130 mph and if you are looking to purchase one new, then expect to pay up to 121,000 Euros.

8. New Zealand Home

This home, which is thought to have cost the internet businessman $4 million dollars, was purchased just weeks before he was arrested in a police raid at his main house.

The property, which is located at The Prom in Coatesville, covers over 2.16 hectares and contains a 565 square-meter house and a large swimming pool.

The house is actually located right next door to the star's massive mansion that we mentioned earlier and has a large kitchen, living room and media area.

There is a home cinema, large bbq area, lounge area, and parking for around 10 vehicles, thanks to its large driveway and outside garage.

7. Custom Mercedes-Benz S 65

Kim Dotcom owned many cars before they were seized by the police and not many were more impressive than the Custom Mercedes-Benz S 65, and it now appears he has got them all back.

The car had a custom numberplate with the words CEO on the front and back and had a number of optional upgrades built-in

The car can go from 0-100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, is powered by an AMG 6.0-Liter-V12-biturbo engine, and can reach 300 km/h with the optional AMG driver's package included.

The upholstery inside is exclusive Nappa leather with seat upholstery layout in a diamond-pattern design. Other features include the 31.2 centimeter, high-resolution color TFT display, and the AMG performance leather steering wheel.

Touch control buttons allow intuitive control of most functions and the left-hand grip provides instant access to the integrated cruise control.

6. Eurocopter EC130

With a range of 610 km, a cruising speed of 240 km/h, and thought to cost around ‎$3.3 million dollars, Kim Dotcom had access to a Eurocopter EC130.

This helicopter was used by him to travel to the airport and other locations from his mansion in New Zealand and only 700 were ever built.

Built by Airbus Helicopters, the model has an Arriel engine that is equipped with full authority digital engine controls and a dual hydraulic system.

The EC130 was designed in close cooperation with tour operators, with one such operator, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, being the launch operator; it has a spacious cabin for up to seven tourists and provides excellent visibility.

Five accelerometers and four linear actuators produce smooth flight conditions and improved comfort for passengers on board.

A total of 143 options including bucket seats with wool, leather or nylon upholstery fabrics and wood veneer facings on the dash, doors, and seatbacks were included with the car during the first production.

4. Lamborghini Diablo

One of the lesser known cars of Kim Dotcom, his Lamborghini Diablo features a ‎5.7 L V12 or a 6.0 Litre V12 engine.

The Lamborghini Diablo was sold as the Lamborghini Costanga from 1993 through 2000 in Mexico due to controversy against the "Diablo" name.

The Diablo was presented to the public for sale on 21 January 1990 with standard features including fully adjustable seats and steering wheel, electric windows, an Alpine stereo system.

1. MegaUpload

The website behind much of Kim Dotcom's wealth, Mega Upload, was a file-sharing website that allowed users to store files and share links across the internet.

Established in 2005 the company was based in Hong Kong, had 155 employees and a net revenue of over $175 million dollars.

On 19 January 2012, the United States Department of Justice seized the domain names and closed down the sites associated with Megaupload claiming the organization was dedicated to copyright infringement.

On 19 January 2013, Megaupload was re-launched as Mega under the domain name mega.co.nz and the re-launch date was chosen to coincide with the one-year anniversary of Megaupload's takedown by the FBI.

In July 2015, Dotcom said the site had been involved in a hostile takeover by a Chinese investor who is wanted in China for fraudulent activities and warned users not to use the site.
