Top 10 RICHEST World Leaders

it's not easy to run a country but the perks are stupendous the money is great security is top-notch a dedicated staff tends to your every need and thanks to healthy pensions and lifelong benefits it's almost always the last job you'll need some world leaders of course are richer than others many are multimillionaires and some even billionaires here now are the 10 richest leaders in the world all are currently in office and due to the secrecy level and some of these nations exact wealth amounts may be estimated at best one thing's for certain however they're all way more rich and powerful than you and I will likely ever be the King of Morocco Mohammed the sixth is like Panera and that he was a successful businessman in Baker before assuming the throne in 1999 is net worth around 2.5 billion dollars is also comparable to Panera's that however is where the similarities end the richest monarch in Africa by a wide margin Mohammed the sixth makes much of his money through business and banking he runs a large investment holding company which is worth over 10 billion dollars however unlike Panero Mohammed has taken no steps to remove himself from his business when you're an absolute monarch clearly you don't have to King Mohammad also differs from Pineda and how he shows off his wealth but Mara doesn't flaunt his riches much but Mohammed certainly dust Forbes estimates the royal palace spends nine hundred sixty thousand dollars a day to stay operational but it's not just maintenance and personnel in fact much of that money goes to upkeep of the Kings clothing in his line of cars that much money which equals 350 million dollars per year doesn't come entirely from the Kings pockets of course much of it comes from the Moroccan budget so essentially the country's citizens pay for it but really what better way to showcase how impossibly rich you are than to show off using other people's money the President of Chile Sebastian Pinera is in many ways that country's Donald Trump before entering politics he was a successful businessman owning various ventures like LAN Airlines the television station Chile vision the private hospital Vinick Alaskan base and Blanco Negro the company that owns popular football club Cola Cola in addition he founded the credit card giant bank card in 1976 meaning he was already plenty rich before the presidency came calling once he became president in 2010 Panera sold off stakes in these companies both to remove any possible conflicts of interest and to make wads of cash he sold his part of LAN Airlines for 1.5 billion made 150 million for selling a share of Chile vision and salt his sheriff clinic Alaskan days for around 38 million dollars with all that vanilla can currently boast a personal fortune of 2.8 billion dollars interestingly while Panera is in his second term as president they have not been consecutive he was president from 2010 to 2014 took four years off then won re-election in 2018 clearly Chilean voters have no issue with the billionaire in charge whether that stays the case should he become richer and should regular citizens stagnate only time will tell [Music] Maina think Liechtenstein could possibly have much money it's one of the tiniest countries on earth v is largest New York City and yet its Crown Prince hans-adam ii isn't just the richest person in the country he's the richest monarch in all of europe with a net worth of around three billion dollars he could buy and sell the Queen of England five times over Hannes autumn is the definition of coming from old money his royal bloodline is over 900 years old and they've been accumulating wealth the entire time back in the day his family controlled tons of land but now he and his kin make their money through banking called lgt Group the private bank he owns caters mostly to his fellow billionaires which would obviously bring in big bucks to the guy in charge on top of that up until 2009 Liechtenstein was famously known as a tax haven for the filthy rich who wanted to avoid paying their fair share the country has since made its banking practices less secretive but there's no way Hans autumn didn't profit mightily up until then the prince doesn't display his wealth in many extravagant ways aside from his massive art collection he currently owns around 140 priceless paintings from masters like Rembrandt and Rubens and displays them at the Liechtenstein Museum which he and his family just happened to own it appears being rich is the quickest route to cutting out the middleman there is United States President Donald Trump is a rich man and wants you to know it between his pension for private jets expensive Suites and gold tempted everything there's no mistaking Trump for a common thousand-aire however he might not be worth quite as much as he'd like people to believe during his campaign Trump claimed he was worth around 10 billion dollars his financial statements however have shown that not to be the case more likely he's worth around 3.1 billion a significant drop from the 4.5 billion he was worth in 2017 whatever the case he's still one of the richest people on the planet to largely to his real estate holdings in New York City he's also made hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate outside the Big Apple and his branded clubs and golf courses bring in another high nine figures time will tell if he can hold on to that money as Forbes magazine pointed out and across the board drop in real estate values combined with Trump polarizing some might say alienating style of government could cause the president's net worth to dip even further don't expect the Donald to enter the poorhouse anytime soon however even 1 billion dollars is more money most people could possibly spend or lose in a lifetime virtually everything about Kim jong-un remains a secret including exactly how much money he has we know only that he has a lot of it and that he loves to show the world that he is in fact extremely rich estimates pegged the North Korean dictator with a five billion dollar net worth though he could be worth as much as eight billion dollars much of that money is stashed around the world in secret bank accounts the fittings such a mysterious regime they need to keep that money hidden because chances are that much of it was obtained illegally outside of China few countries will trade with North Korea as long as the Kim dynasty remains in power and so according to experts like the Congressional Research Service jung-geun likely makes his money through illegal weapons deals drug dealing counterfeiting human trafficking slavery animal trafficking and cyber hacking in addition the man has absolute power in a nation where virtually everyone who isn't him is broke and starving most North Koreans are in anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 US dollars per year it's easy to make money when you hoard essentially all of your nation's resources yet for such a mysterious figure Jung Woon's pretty open about how he spends his money he has a large yacht expensive cars multiple homes and his own private movie theater he regularly imports fine cheese and why and spent six figures on alcohol every year then of course there's his enormous supply of weaponry such as nukes and heavy artillery he spends good money stockpiling these just in case international war or a violent peasant revolution comes knocking at his expensive gold-plated door [Music] Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum wears many hats all of which are extremely expensive he's both vice president and prime minister the UAE as well as Dubai's constitutional King as such very little has stopped him from amassing and amazing 18 billion dollars in wealth he made his money by working to turn to buy from a sparsely populated desert hub into one of the world's richest most advanced most tourists happy cities in roughly 10 years that plus the many business investments undertaken by his company Dubai Holding has made him wealthy on a level few can even imagine themselves achieving like bin Zayed bin Rashid displays his wealth in an almost obnoxious showy way he too owns a super yacht though his is only a mere 531 feet long he owns a penthouse suite in Monaco valued at three hundred million dollars he has his own insane car collection which isn't as gargantuan as the Sultan of Brunei but is still plenty sizeable he collects Lamborghinis Ferraris Rolls Royces and other exotic cars and his collection is valued at around 100 million dollars Ben Rashad is so rich he can afford to spend a fortune on things that to him are entirely useless for example he once spent ninety two million dollars to buy an entire golf course he doesn't actually play golf he likely just bought it for his buddies and to remind us all that he can there seems to be something about Middle Eastern leaders that brings out not just immense wealth but a desire to display said well take United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan who's worth anywhere from eighteen to twenty three billion dollars and wants you to know it bin zayed owns not just a super yacht but the super yacht dubbed is on this ship of ships runs almost six hundred feet long imagine two football fields next to each other that's his yacht and unsurprisingly it's worth well over four hundred million dollars he displays his wealth in other ways too like holding a wedding for his daughter which featured a flowery twenty foot tall wedding cake slowly lowered from the ceiling like an offering from the gods nobody really knows the price tag of this wedding but no way was it anything less than obscene bin zayed it's personal wealth is amazing enough but you can't discount the rest of his family estimates place the combined wealth of the amnion family and a mind-boggling 150 billion dollars clearly when you've controlled nearly 100 billion barrels of oil reserves your bank account has never lied [Music] Asuna book kaya has been the sultan of brunei for over 50 years but he's most known for being filthy rich he's been worth around 20 billion for years and has no problem showing off his wealth in the most extravagant of fashions the Sultan's private residence the istana nurul iman is the single largest palace in the world it's over 2 million square feet in size features 1788 rooms in 257 bathrooms and is worth well over 400 million dollars the pope's palace looks like a humble cottage in comparison in addition the Sultan has his own private 747 jet and a car collection to make any auto buff jealous by some estimates he owns over 7,000 cars with an estimated value of anywhere between 789 million and 4 billion dollars as part of that collection the Sultan holds the Guinness world record for owning the most Rolls Royces he owns at least 500 of them as he and his family purchased roughly half of all Rolls Royces sold during the 90s rounding out his collection of rare Lamborghinis Porsches Ferraris per se Dee's in the Formula one cars driven by every f1 champion since 1980 it appears living humbly is no option for this man in 2016 Maha Vizier and Longhorn became king of Thailand following the death of his father almost immediately he did what many would likely do with absolute power he changed the rules so suddenly he was a multi billionaire since 1938 Thailand's considerable royal assets were under control of the crown property Bureau which the king had little to do with but you're a longhorn chains back arranging it so he was now in charge of the CPB what's more the assets within were now considered equal to the Kings personal assets and he would be responsible for managing both just like that the king of Thailand was worth an incredible 30 billion dollars while it's true making these assets personal property means they will now be taxed that doesn't take away that was your a long cord and became one of the richest people on earth entirely by willing it to be so you can see this considerable wealth simply by watching the king in action surrounded by gold colored and gold-plated everything while sitting on a golden crown and wearing an impeccable golden white uniform Kingfisher along court comes across as a guy who isn't just suddenly rich but extremely interested in everyone knowing it it's not surprising that Vladimir Putin a dictator right now but name is filthy rich it's also not surprising that we can't put an exact value on such a secretive ruler he's almost certainly the richest world leader but we don't really know by how much depending on who you talk to the President of Russia is worth anywhere from a few hundred thousand dollars to a record-setting 200 billion meeting somewhere in the middle as the Bureau of Investigative Journalism did Peg's Putin with a seventy billion dollar fortune even that amount would make him wait richer than any other world leader and richer than all but a few people on earth according to official Russian documents Putin makes a mere 186 thousand dollars per year that said he's been seen wearing watches and other jewelry valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars he's even been observed handing out said jewelry as gifts which somebody making those six figures certainly couldn't do it's very likely due to having stakes and tons of successful Russian companies he's worth way more than the Kremlin wants to acknowledge in 2017 the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management bill Browder estimated Putin is worth roughly two hundred billion dollars more than even uber rich Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Hermitage was once the largest portfolio investor in all of Russia so chances are he knows what he's talking about Putin very colorfully denies all this as he told The Associated Press it's just chitchat nonsense they pick it out of their noses and smeared onto their pieces of paper maybe Putin can add to his income by becoming an insult comic after he leaves office
