expensive watch in his possession the king of Dubai Mohammed bin Rasheed al-maktoum the absolute ruler of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Rashid al-maktoum comes in strong as our next entry with a net worth of 18 billion dollars according to Forbes I'm guessing his net worth would have increased as this evaluation was done in 2008 nevertheless al-maktoum currently holds the positions of Vice

having held a couple of important roles and coming from a royal family with a combined net worth of 1.4 trillion dollars that's not surprising over the years Salman bin abdulaziz al-saud has held significant positions in the Saudi government including the of Defense Minister and governor of the province of Riyadh he took the Saudi throne in 2015 following the death of his half-brother King Abdullah some part of the 87 year old King's net worth can be traced to his inheritance from the Saudi royal family and also to His prophets from the oil industry the country is the largest exporter of gasoline in the world the vast oil reserves discovered more than 75 years ago which changed the country's fortune and made the house of sound to the richest family on Earth provide the majority of the income for the ruling monarchy also Salman and his family are the Proprietors of a media conglomerate that includes al-qtisaria and the pan-arab daily a shark al-ausat additionally the Saudi research and Marketing Group srmg is 10 owned by the king due to his poor health the king is not as actively involved in the country's Affairs as he used to be his son the Crown Prince has taken over in some aspects like the prime minister's seat his son owns almost everything you can think of when you hear the word Lux expensive homes expensive and rare fleets of cars Etc I mean he once splashed 430 million dollars on a piece of art by Leonardo da Vinci in 2017 called the Salvatore munde just like any other king the king rides in a convoy of luxurious cars when traveling his car collection features car gifts as well as ones he has purchased himself his collection includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom 3 a gift from Winston Churchill in 1946 Emir of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed al-nayan a net worth of 30 billion dollars is enough to put to the ruler of Abu Dhabi high up on the list Mohammed bin Zayed al-nayan is the third president of the United Arab Emirates his family is considered to be one of the richest in the world with its estimated net worth to be in excess of 150 billion dollars the Emir of Abu Dhabi frequently puts on a wealth display Sheikh Mohammed had a Stadium built so that's 20 000 guests who attended his seven-day wedding could easily fit when he wed princess Salama in 1981. you know how ridiculous it is to construct a stadium for your wedding the ceremony took place over the course of seven days that's an entire week so putting that much effort into the venue suggests that other aspects of the ceremony will be handled with similar levels of splurge so it's no surprise that the wedding cost 100 million dollars the ruler always travels in the finest automobiles the most opulent yachts and of course aircraft that are appropriate for him aboard this 60 million dollar yacht called Rob John Sheikh Mohammed enjoys life at Sea the Royal Family's transportation is handled by the Abu Dhabi Amiri flight among the presidential aircraft the A6 UAE a Boeing 747 A6 auh a Boeing 737 and a6yas a Boeing 747 are regarded the Abu Dhabi Amiri flight recently added the A6 PFC and the a6pfe both of them are Boeing 787 Dreamliners it is well known that Sheikh Mohammed loves art a significant Milestone was reached with his help and support when the public could visit to the art and civilization Museum Lou Abu Dhabi in November 2018. the Emir is also known for his generosity over the years he has donated to purposeful causes Sheikh Muhammad pledged to raise 100 million dollars for the reaching the last mile fund donated 55 million AED to the UN Global initiative to fight human trafficking and contributed 50 million dollars to efforts to vaccinate children in Afghanistan and Pakistan Sultan of Brunei Hassan al-bokia with 30 billion dollars to his name Hassan Al balkia is next on the list the Sultan of Brunei is the current longest reigning monarch in the world as well as the current longest serving head of state I mean it is no surprise he is worth that amount since his territory is blessed with oil and gas reserves which have translated to a high standard of living for the country in 1988 the sultan was ranked the richest man in the world so as you can see it has been a long time coming for the sultan the sultan also does what he can to give financial aid to countries in need he once had to liquidate some of his assets to fund loans to his neighbors in Southeast Asia also during the Asian financial crisis of 1997 and 1998 the Sultan of Brunei used his own funds to support the currencies and stock markets of Singapore and Malaysia living large goes hand in hand with being royalty and the sultan isn't an exception aside from being the sultan he is also the king of car collections because that's the title befitting someone who has 7 000 cars let's do a quick calculation here if you had 7 000 cars it would take you 19 years to exhaust all of them if you rode one per day his car collection is said to cost 5 billion dollars you know how crazy that is if his car garage were a person it'd be a billionaire his car collection includes the most unique and rarest cars customized to suit his taste it includes a collection of Ferrari f40s of McLaren f1s and Rolls-Royce Vehicles he basically has a dealership in his home and his fleet of cars definitely makes other fleets of cars seem ordinary I mean how would you explain someone having over 7 000 cars there are plenty of questions going through my mind does he know them all I personally feel like he hasn't taken a ride in some of them because honestly that's a lot apart from having the largest car collection in the world he also has a fleet of aircraft called the sultan flight which includes a Boeing 787 a Boeing 767 and a Boeing 747a the Sultan's Palace is also another luxury item associated with the King it has 1700 rooms 257 bathrooms and 110 garages well we know why he needs that much space for cars before moving on to the next king kindly guess how much it costs him to take a haircut according to sources it's twenty thousand dollars per haircut that's just wild the king of Thailand mahavajira Longhorn next on the list is the king of Thailand who is the wealthiest of them all mahavajira Longhorn is the reigning king of Thailand and has been serving as the king since the day his father King bhumibol died the king of Thailand is worth a whopping
