Riding the King of the Jungle

Residents of Dubai have queer ways of showing off their wealth. Among the most popular ways of flaunting wealth in the city is by using unconventional transport methods. The fellow pictured below is taking things to a whole new level by riding a lion. As a sign of high social status, the fellow rides Gertrude, his pet lion to work every morning. This definitely leaves the working-class Dubai residents envious considering the fact they have to go to work on foot or on their bicycles. In as much as he may be exposed to the danger of being mauled by the lion, this is inarguable an incredible way of flaunting wealth and letting the world know that money is not a problem to you.
