In some countries, the role of the king is still a model for the people to follow, in order to promote the good values of the country. Standing at the head of the royal family are the noble kings. They have to take on important responsibilities for the survival of the royal family and the whole country. Each king's decision can have a huge impact. In addition, there are also a lot of rumors about the king's life around the famous kings. In today's video, let's explore the lives of the richest kings in the world as well as the notable stories besides their wealth. Let's start! 1. King Mahavajiralongkorn of Thailand, 43 billion USD The first and also the richest king in the world, is the King of Thailand, who currently owns a huge asset worth more than 40 billion USD. The king is the only son of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Empress Sirikit. In 1972, he was crowned a crown prince at the age of 20. After King Chabangha in 2016, ending 7 centuries of rule, the military government affirmed his position as the successor to the throne of Thailand. However, the official coronation must be postponed for more than 2 years because the king was to be buried. He officially received the coronation on May 4, 2019, successor to King Rama IX, the 10th king of the Chakri dynasty, named Rama XII. At the age of 64, Mahavajiralongkorn became the oldest ruler of Thailand at the time of his coronation. The king of Thailand has the power of a ruler to write the constitution, witness the officials, appoint officials, and maintain the role of the national hero of Thailand. He is also the head of the military, the court, and the government. In his youth, the king had a degree in art from Sukhothai University, Thamathirat in Bangkok. But according to the tradition of the kings of Thailand, in 1972, he studied and graduated from Duntron Military University, Canberra, Australia. When he returned to Thailand to serve as an officer in the Royal Thai Army, he was trained closely with the Australian, British, and American armed forces, and was promoted in advanced special forces training programs. In terms of expertise, the king is still a military pilot and is the only king of Thailand to actively participate in military activities in his country. On June 16, 2018, the Royal Thai Property Agency, also known as CPB, announced the transfer of all assets worth more than 40 billion dollars to King Maha Vajiralongkorn. In addition to the real estate in the center of Bangkok, CPB also owns significant shares in Siam Cement Group, the largest cement company in Thailand, and the Siam Commercial Bank. The transfer of ownership rights from the Royal Property Agency to King Vajiralongkorn helped him become the richest king in the world, controlling more assets than the wealth of King Saudi Arabia, King Brunei, or the British Royal Family. Due to the harsh comments about the Royal Thai with negative remarks about the king, there is a risk of being sentenced to 15 years in prison for military crimes. The process of transferring ownership rights to the royal family at that time was almost not mentioned in the country's will. However, the estimation of the total value of the king's property is basically just a guess because this property is not publicly announced. With the rare information known, the giant property of King Thailand is held widely in all areas. In addition to real estate, the king also owns the world's largest double-sided diamond ring with a value of up to 12 million dollars. About real estate, the current king is holding about 6,560 hectares of land in Thailand with 40,000 lease contracts across the country, including 17,000 contracts in the capital. Among them, the most special must be the Siam Paragon shopping mall, Siam Discovery, and Siam Center. All are located on the land of the CPB, attracting 200,000 buyers per day. The CPB does not operate commercial centers but collects a huge loan from the owners of Siam Piwat. Only in Bangkok, the Royal Thai property owns 1,328 hectares of land. Some are special real estate in the shopping center with a value of up to 33 billion dollars since 2011. Since the king took control of the royal property, about 4.7 billion dollars has been spent on the construction of new projects announced on the land he owns. In a statement in 2021, the CPB announced that the assets previously registered with Crown Property will be kept under the king's name. Therefore, the amount of shares worth 9 billion dollars and Siam Commercial Bank are also in his property. Vajiralongkorn owns 23% of the shares in Siam Commercial Bank, the second largest loan company in Thailand, and 33% in the country's largest technology corporation, Siam Cement Group. Gold and precious stones. Among the treasures of the Royal Thai, the golden jubilee diamond in brown, weighing 545.67 carats, is considered the most valuable. The world's largest diamond is estimated to be up to 12 million dollars. This diamond was donated to the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1999. On the day of the coronation in 2019, the king was also given the Great Crown of Victory, made of gold, with many precious stones, weighing 7.3 kilograms, to a large diamond from Kolkata, India. In addition, he also received other treasures, almost all of which are gold-plated and decorated. Holding such a treasure, of course, the life of King Maha is also very long. However, it was this giant treasure that made King Rama I and the Royal Thai receive fierce criticism from the people. In fact, compared to his father, King Rama I had a complicated and complicated life. He married multiple wives and children, was also the first Thai king to have two wives at the same time until the end of the Thai colonial rule in 1932. But not all, in addition to the Queen and King Phi, King Rama I also had many other relationships. According to some sources, from the time he sat down, he usually did not stay in the country but spent time at the Sonebichi hotel in Bavaria, Germany, together with 22 other people. Therefore, during his reign, the reputation of the Thai royal family has decreased significantly. In 1932, in Thailand, there were many protests aimed at violating the royal family and demanding to limit the king's power. The protesters claimed that the country belonged to the people, not King Rama I and publicly challenged the royal family of Thailand. Everything became extremely tense in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Six protests demanded the reform of the monarchy all over the country. The reason came from the fact that they surveyed royal spending and found that the Thai royal family had been spending money since King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away in 2016. Meanwhile, Thailand's economy was deteriorating due to the pandemic. According to data from Thailand's budget, royal office spending was nearly $290 million in 2020, twice as high as in 2018. People broke the silence in front of the 68-year-old king's The Thais questioned why the royal treasury was given to a country that spent more time in Germany than in Thailand. They demanded the king to restore property for the CPB to control and be monitored by the government. This is considered a shocking challenge in a country where there is a strict rule of law under the royal system. Some protesters also called to boycott Siam's commercial bank, where the king holds almost 24% of the shares. For example, he used to be a general for his army. Specifically, his dog, Phu Phu, was conferred the title of Grand General of Thai Air Force. After Phu Phu passed away in early 2015, the funeral of this dog was held in four days according to the Buddhist ritual and was cremated. Phu Phu's body was believed to have been placed in a temple at Wat Pho Pagoda in the Royal Palace of Thailand. In general, this is a famous king. Although owning property is not his priority, many people have to shake their heads. 2. King Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah $30 billion Not only is he famous for his wealth, wealth,
