Lionel Richie gifts himself seven Mercedes cars

New York: Singer Lionel Richie has gifted himself seven Mercedes cars for Christmas.

And the shocked salesman didn`t recognise the famous singer. "I decided to buy myself a Mercedes - or two! In blue jeans and T-shirt, I walked into a Montgomery, Alabama, dealership and said, `I`ll buy seven Mercedes.` Staring, the guy asked, `Son, you got some proof?` I had him call LA`s Bank of America president. He hung up and segued from `Son` to, `Mr. Richie, right this way, please,`" nypost.com quoted Richie as saying. IANS
