It would seem that the rich and famous of the world are in better financial health than ever. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars issued an announcement today that its worldwide sales in the first half of 2014 were 33 percent up from the corresponding period of 2013.

Europe leads the way of growth, with a 60 percent sales increase followed by the Asia Pacific which saw sales climb by almost 40 percent. Sales actually doubled in Germany, whilst the oil-rich Middle East region rose 30 percent, with the US and China both also seeing double digit growth.
