The Richest Royals in the World
The richest royals in the world are now struggling to maintain their fortune. But it seems like their fortune can never end, the reasons for which can be numerous. The net worth of the royals has been falling since the inception of the economic recession in the world. At the same time, people now hold different views about the prestige and power of these people, which is indeed an open testament to the fact that the world now regards them to be nothing more than just human beings like themselves. In the past, it is believed that the earnings and total assets of some of them were indeed humungous, but in the present times of economic meltdowns, the opposite seems to be true. There are also a few among the so called royals of the world, whose revenues are increasingly steadily, but the pace is nothing in comparison to the past. Some of you would be thinking that a number of other people also deserve to be included in this list of the richest royals in the world, but trust me that the ones I have included deserve to be here. Here is the list.
5. Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
At number 5 we have the Prime Minister of the UAE, whose net worth of about $ 4 billion has made him qualify for this spot. The prime source of income for this person is his investment in the Dubai holdings and a number of other related sectors.
4. Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan
Bin Zayed is now the president of the UAE and is a royal with a net worth of about $ 15 billion. Some of you might be thinking here that why is his net worth much more in comparison to the prime minister of the same country? Well, the reason for this can be linked to his authority and fortune due to which he has always been expanding his investment to all corners of the world. But his prime source of wealth is still the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
3. Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud
With a net worth of about $ 15 billion, the number 3 spot has been occupied by the King of Saudi Arabia. For a long time, he has always been added in the list of the richest people in the world. Not to forget here that he is king of the country which is considered to be gifted with the richest oil reserves in the world. His major source of income also happens to be the oil sector.
2. Hassanal Bolkiah
With a net worth of about $ 20 billion, Sultan of Brunei would indeed be happy for being included among the richest royals in the world. His net worth can be linked to the profits he had been earning from the oil and other related sectors for quite some time. Moreover, it can also be said that his net worth can also explained in terms of the amounts he had inherited.
1. Bhumibol Adulyadej
The richest royal in the world is undoubtedly the King of Thailand who has a net worth of about $ 30 billion. He is also the longest serving head of any state in the world, as he had been ruling the country since the year 1946. Apart from the world expects from Kings, it is evident that Bhumibol has also being active in the politics of the country. The Thai people are also in deep allegiance to the kind and hold a high degree of respect for him in their hearts, which is the reason he is considered to be Inviolable in the country. He can also be credited for giving the country the concept of self-sufficiency.
