King Bhumibol Adulyadej Richest Royal in the World
Forbes has listed Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej as the richest royal in the world with an estimated net worth of $35 billion tops even oil rich countries like Abu Dhabi and the UAE.
At the top of our list is Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej, whose $35 billion estimated net worth is up sevenfold as a result of increased transparency of his Crown Property Holdings. He takes the top spot from the only other Asian monarch on the list, the Sultan of Brunei, worth $20 billion, one of only two rulers worth less than they were last year. The sultan, who inherited the riches of an unbroken 600-year-old Muslim dynasty, has had to cut back on his country’s oil production because of depleting reserves.
