  • Polish Member of Parliament Robert Dowhan owns the most expensive car in the Sejm, a 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabrio valued at 1.2 million Polish złoty.
  • Dowhan's assets also include nine Ulysse Nardin watches, Chopard and Graham timepieces, a jet ski, a bicycle, and another Porsche, along with apartment furnishings worth approximately one million złoty.
  • An analysis of parliamentary asset declarations reveals that while luxury cars are present, Polish MPs more frequently invest in watches and artwork.

Polish Member of Parliament Robert Dowhan stands out in the Sejm for owning the most valuable car among his colleagues: a 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabrio, valued at 1.2 million Polish złoty (approximately $300,000 USD). Dowhan, a member of the Civic Platform (KO) party, described the car as a childhood dream fulfilled, inspired by early encounters with automotive magazines and seeing Maryla Rodowicz, an early adopter of such luxury vehicles, driving one.

Dowhan's declaration of assets extends beyond this prized Porsche. His movable property also includes nine Ulysse Nardin watches, with prices ranging from 35,000 to 80,000 złoty each. He also possesses Chopard watches valued at 15,000 złoty and a Graham watch worth 40,000 złoty. Further adding to his collection are a jet ski costing 100,000 złoty, a bicycle valued at 30,000 złoty, and a second, more modest Porsche priced at 200,000 złoty. Additionally, Dowhan declared apartment furnishings valued at around one million złoty.

This car is the fulfillment of my childhood dream. Because I lived near the border, I used to read German 'AutoBild' magazines, I was always fascinated by cars, and as an owner, I went through successive stages, starting with an old Fiat 126p.

— Robert DowhanDescribing his passion for cars and the origin of his desire for a Porsche.

An analysis conducted by "Rzeczpospolita" using Google's Pinpoint research tool examined over 460 parliamentary asset declarations from 2025, focusing on movable assets exceeding 10,000 złoty. The study found that while several MPs own luxury cars, the trend leans more towards investments in high-end watches and significant works of art.

Among those with expensive vehicles, Barbara Okuła, also from the Civic Platform, is noted for her collection, which includes an Aston Martin DBX (600,000 złoty), a Porsche Macan (200,000 złoty), a Maserati Levante (250,000 złoty), and an Audi SQ7 (120,000 złoty). Artur Łącki of KO, often cited as the wealthiest MP of the current term, declared a Mercedes EQC, a Range Rover, and a BMW 4 Cabrio, though he did not specify their values. Andrzej Gut-Mostowy from the Law and Justice (PiS) party also owns luxury cars, including Mercedes G and E classes, a Jeep Wrangler, and a Hymer Grand Canyon camper, which can be worth over half a million złoty.

I fell in love with Porsche when I saw Maryla Rodowicz in it, one of the first Poles driving cars of these brands. She came from my area. I thought: 'Jesus Maria, what a beautiful car.'
