Seriously, how much was this guy worth? That garage alone is worth tens of millions, at least.

I feel kind of bad for how the dude died.  What a life he must have lived.  All that dough, handsome, famous, and didnt seem like a total douche based on the engagement ring story.  He must have been drowning in va-heena's.  That dude's genitals and fingers must have reeked like a fish market.   :o
I would gladly die in a burning wreck if I could live life for 1 year with all the blessings Walker had.  Mostly the looks and money.

Just Googled it. Website said he was worth $45 million, but that is a billionaire's car collection. Doesn't make sense, unless I'm overestimating the value of his cars.

theres only a hand full of top end cars there and paul; drove every one of his cars so they weren't top collectors.   average car there was 100g tops  times 50 cars  5 million in cars.  not too a billionaires collections

This is accurate , I saw this video a while ago , didn't know they were his. Lots of cool cars but nothing exceptional. And contrary to Matt's statement Ralph Lauren has a single car in his collection that cost more than that entire collection , Herb Chambers is another heavy hitter when it comes to collections.

Actually guys those are NOT all his personal cars....he co-owned the shop (Always Evolving) with the guy that was driving the car that killed him..some of those cars are actually the customers cars that they stored there or were owned by Paul Walker or Roger Rodas. Only about 15 of those are confirmed HIS. All of them Always Evolving has worked on or built...thats why they were IN the video..

Correct but it was also a dealership and he sold any if all cars if interested

He personally loves Porsches, and Japanese cars, not so much American muscle but loves cars overall

Yeah, no way many of those cars were his.  The batteries would go dead, the tires would get flat spots, and so on.

Besides most of those cars were shitty, tuned up mustangs.  Looked like a 16-year old billionaire's garage

you know nothing of cars....flat spots..... dead batteries... not in a climate controlled garage with full time mechanics  50 cars would be an easy rotation.  Each car could be driven once per week.

I never understood people who buy just all the high end cars and call themselves "car enthusiasts" anyone with money can buy Ferraris, lambos, rolls, bugattis

Paul was a serious car enthusiast cause he works on them , drives them on the track , same with jay leno in some ways, these guys KNOW their cars, kind of like a Parker but Parker has no money to even buy a 328 bmw  :D

I barely use one car, no less 20.  So he basically played himself on screen.  I don't think Vin Diesel will ever get his 10 second car. :P
I liked Paul Walker...but when I heard his girl was half his age, he became my idol.

Paul was an avid member of the Toyota Supra community, owned a couple of TT Supra's, the main moderator of Supraforums (where i have been a member for 11 years) and many of the guys in that community of enthusiast have confirmed that very few of those cars were titled to PAUL...many of these people have turned wrenches for them at that "shop" yes they did "sell" cars but no tuning/modding was more of what that shop does. This has been known for many years by all of us in the Toyota Supra scene...the white TT Supra in the video is Pauls and it has (as of last year) 23k original miles its a 97 TT...the 2jz TT engine in the Supra is known as the "japanese 350" its by far the strongest japanese engine ever produced and the STOCK BLOCK record on the dyno is 817 whp with the head never coming off the car. I like all fast cars but there is just something about a BIG single turbo supra, they can make crazy power for an inline 6 and be VERY dependable daily drivers even at high HP levels...
