If there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that Prince Albert II of Monaco isn't short of a few bob.

In fact, he's one of the richest royals in the world, with an estimated worth in excess of $1 billion (£637 million).

His collection of classic cars comprises over 100 vehicles -- many of which were purchased by his father, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and his mother, Princess Grace -- and many of them are being sold-off at auction this evening in Monaco.

So, if you've got a few quid to spare and happen to find yourself in the principality this evening, go and take a look; there's some impressive metal up for grabs.
