Today we're going to meet some of the richest gypsies in the entire world. Mega mansions. They own entire neighborhoods, €200,000 cars, 13-year-old boys inheriting mansions to live in with their wives, and enough gold to sink a ship. Wealth off the charts like you can't imagine, be on the receiving end of some incredible hospitality, and witness some straightup strange scenes. One of the most unique days of my entire life. Strap in. This one's extreme. Welcome to the side of a bit of highway here in Romania. Left Bucharest, the capital this morning at the crack of dawn. Been driving for maybe 3 hoursish, another hour. We're going to one of the richest parts of the gypsy settlements
in Romania. I know that Roma people have somewhat of a mixed reputation and I thought it'd be interesting to show the wealthy side of the Roma because a lot of people often think of Roma as more on the poorer side. So, it's going to be very interesting experience. Pulled over at a petrol station first though because we can't show up empty-handed. I'm about to get into a AMG Mercedes that's probably worth a couple hundred grand. Nice car. Beautiful. So, this is Bill and he's going to be my main man here. One of the most influential people in the world of Romans. I just went to put my uh seat belt on and he said to me, "Don't do that. I'm the boss. The police won't do
anything." Essentially, I normally do wear a seat belt, but when you're in the man's world, then you do what he says. No restrictions. He says, "Film whatever you want to film." He wants to show the best time. He wants to really show the culture around here. So, quite exclusive and a bit of an honor, I think. Beautiful car. Oh, me. Yes. Yeah, Mercedes. Where we're going is going to be mega mansions and things. So, it's going to be quite the experience. So, when we arrived, we were told that this man, Bill, here is the richest man in the area and controls it. He's the boss. I'm just in a bit of a amazement right now. When we arrived, they said, "We don't live in houses. We live in palaces." We're arriving at one
of those right now. So, he's basically he's pointing at basically all the houses and saying, "These all belong to me." I probably the most expensive car I've ever been in. We got you a present. Giving the wine and the chocolate. This is my right hand man, Constantine. Did you build this palace? For 6 months he built the palace. They working day and night. Should we take a look inside then? Oh wow. No way. Oh wow. Wa. This is the real Romanian gypsy palace. Over here in this area is the most rich gypsy Romanian people entire Romania. And that would probably be in the world.

We're kind of rolling with the royal family down the street of their kingdom right now, right? Yeah. Indeed, man. Everybody's just staring at the car. This is the traditional gypsy dress. This is gold on the necklace. Yes. That part of the GC what left Romania is stealing and everybody put in the same light all gypsy. This is wrong. Europa look important. They destroyed the picture for the gypsy community in all Europe. Is not about the power, the money or something like this. Is about the God is about the family and the love and they trust in God and God give them everything.
What is the solution to change that bad image? The different communities of gypsy, they're not united. That's the problem. And you don't see a solution to fix the picture. So that was my time with the ultra wealthy gypsies. I'll have to point out something that happened early in the day. They said, "Would you like to see a traditional dance performed by some of the girls here?" And I said, "Yeah, I would love to see that." And that was the dance that you saw at the bottom of the staircase. After spending some time later, I was told that would cost €200. And I said, "Okay." They were obviously very generous to me, so I thought that was okay. But then after another while of spending time, then it
changed to €300, which is getting quite up there, but you know, I didn't want to be rude or anything. And obviously, it's it's an amazing opportunity. So at the end they drove me to an ATM and basically you know I withdrew that much money. So you know it's not cheap. It's quite the large sum and the dance only lasted for about 5 minutes. So do with that information what you will. Overall I felt pretty welcome. Just that part was just something I thought I'd point out. I did ask a few times what they did for work and things. Obviously, they said that they inherited a lot of money, but also they make the barrels where the homemade alcohol is made in. I did have a lot of questions, but when I did ask
about the earnings and things, it wasn't so clear. I'll just say that. Interesting to see, definitely, and an experience I'll never forget. It was one of the most unique days of travel that I've had, that's for sure. In the next video, we're not done yet. We're going to drive to a complete other area of Romania and we're going to meet the king of all gypsies in the world. Then we're going to go and meet the other side of the gypsy people and what we're going to see are the harshest living conditions I've ever witnessed in Europe. So, make sure you stay tuned for the next video. And in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
