Supermodels, luxury cars, exclusive private clubs -- these are part of the playboy lifestyle of Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, 30.

Founding the popular social network with Mark Zuckerberg, 27, he lives in a luxurious penthouse in the wealthiest neighborhood in Singapore, the Daily Mail reported May 4. He also drives a Bentley.

Coming from a rich Brazilian family, he has fortune estimated at $2 billion. He met Zuckerberg in 2004 when they studied at Harvard University.

Saverin has been known to frequent exclusive clubs and the only private membership bar in Singapore. He was seen partying with dozens of models in St. Tropez last August, spending as much as $50,000 on champagne alone. He was also spotted on Nikki Beach, drinking with his friends and 10 beauties, the paper reported.

His playboy lifestyle does not stop there.

He created a scandal when he invested in Rachel K, the cosmetics company run by Rachel Kum, Miss Singapore in 2009. Rumors have it that they started to date when he shared his business expertise with her.
