Jet-Set CEO's $3M Koenigsegg Jesko Ticketed in London While Dining Nearby
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A £2.2 million Koenigsegg Jesko hypercar, owned by private jet mogul Ameerh Naran, was slapped with a parking ticket this week after being left on a Kensington street while its owner dined nearby. Naran, the CEO of luxury aviation brokerage Vimana Private Jets, parked the ultra-rare Swedish hypercar on Derry Street, just outside the trendy Dishoom restaurant in West London. Moments later, a Kensington and Chelsea traffic warden issued a bright yellow parking charge notice (PCN), placing it squarely on the carbon-fiber bonnet of the car—an image quickly shared online. With a fine of up to £160 (reduced to £80 if paid within two weeks), the penalty is a small price to pay compared to the Jesko's jaw-dropping $3 million valuation. Powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the Jesko produces 1,280 horsepower on standard fuel—or up to 1,600 hp on E85—and is capable of reaching 62 mph in under three seconds. According to his Instagram posts, Naran, 39, was enjoying lunch at the nearby Rooftop Gardens while the parking incident unfolded. Originally from Zimbabwe, the entrepreneur built his jet charter empire after studying automotive design, and later launched his own hypercar company, Naran Automotive. Despite his aviation focus, cars have remained central to Naran's identity. A former aspiring racing driver, he once told Forbes that he dreamed of building supercars since childhood. His clients—ranging from royals to ultra-high-net-worth individuals—spend up to $1 million a month on private travel, and often shop at elite brands like Harrods, Ferrara Diamonds, and Asprey London. This isn't the first luxury car to run afoul of Derry Street's strict parking rules. Comedian Michael McIntyre had his £195,000 Mercedes-AMG GT R towed from the same location in May after parking in a police-only zone. In a city where even multi-million-dollar cars can't escape traffic enforcement, it seems not even the most elite wheels are above the rules. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Elon Musk's estranged daughter has brutal reaction to Trump feud: ‘I love being proven right'
Elon Musk's estranged daughter appeared to gloat Friday about her billionaire dad's epic public feud with President Trump — saying 'I love being proven right' and cackling with glee on social media. Vivian Wilson, 21 — who vowed to leave the US after Trump was elected president last year — seemingly mocked her tech mogul dad's explosive fallout with his former president ally in an Instagram post. 'I do not want to comment,' she says before howling in a fit of laughter. Advertisement The Tesla CEO and Trump faced off in an ugly verbal spat Thursday after Musk insulted the commander-in-chief's 'big, beautiful bill,' prompting the president to question whether the pair could ever mend their relationship. 3 Elon Musk's daughter Vivian Wilson appeared to mock her dad's explosive feud with the president. Instagram/vivllainous The nasty fight between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man quickly spiraled — with Musk calling for Trump's impeachment and declaring that the president has links to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Advertisement Wilson's post came as the feud simmered Thursday, but it didn't specifically mention Trump or her father by name. It's captioned, 'I love being proven right.' Wilson, who is transgender, cut ties with the increasingly volatile Tesla founder in 2022 when she filed a petition to change her gender and name. She has previously bashed Trump's 'anti-trans regulations' and called her dad, who supported the president's 2024 campaign, a 'pathetic man-child,' who hasn't been accepting of her gender. 3 Former allies Trump and Musk faced off in an epic public spat Thursday. Advertisement In past interviews, Musk has claimed Wilson — who is one of the billionaire's 14 children — was 'killed by the woke mind virus' and that he was 'tricked' into letting her transition at age 16. 3 Wilson has previously bashed Trump's anti-trans policies and called her dad a 'man child.' Wildfang On Friday, Trump said he has no interest in speaking to Musk after White House aides scrambled to set up a call between the two men.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has been leading several social causes, including efforts to help create a more inclusive education system. As part of his Mission 44 initiative, he met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, to support the government in setting up a framework that would help students succeed in schools, regardless of their background. Mission 44 was set up four years ago to help students and ensure they don't face the same challenges Hamilton experienced in his school days. The Briton also met Secretary of State for Education Bridget Phillipson at 10 Downing Street to discuss reforms that could be introduced in the education system. The government of the UK revealed its commitment to the social cause by developing a framework that includes exploring ways to increase school funding across the board, improving mental support for students, and hiring more teachers in classrooms.

"Today, myself, @mission44, our partners, and some incredible students met with the UK Prime Minister for an important discussion on how we can make sure all young people are supported to succeed in school, regardless of their background. I struggled in school and never felt like my voice was heard, so I know firsthand that ensuring every student feels they belong in school is vital. "I'm grateful that off the back of this meeting, the government has committed to working with Mission 44 to enact change focused on making the education system more inclusive. I'm so proud of how far M44 has come in such a short space of time and the opportunity we have to transform the lives of vulnerable students across the country. "I encourage everyone to head to the Mission 44 website to find out more about today's announcement and support our work. We can create a fairer, more compassionate world, together." The Prime Minister replied to his post. He wrote: "Great to meet you today. Looking forward to working together to make sure every young person has the chance to thrive."
