Today, most of the countries that still exist the Royal Family is a constitutional monarchy, ie the Royal Family is only representative and diplomatic. Royal property comes mainly from inheritance from previous generations and part of the taxes of the people. Although there are no official statistics, the following Royals are always mentioned when people talk about wealth.
Royal Saudi Arabia
According to estimates by Brand Finance, the Saudi royal family can own a huge fortune of up to 1.4 trillion USD. To make it easy to imagine, this is 16 times more wealth than the $ 88 billion of the British Royal Family, which is also very rich. In addition to key figures like King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, many other distant branch members are also billionaires.
This wealth comes largely from its rich oil reserves. Royal owns Al Saud Oil Group with a market capitalization of “heavenly” of 1 trillion USD.
However, the Saudi Royal Family is quite tight-lipped. But people are still often overwhelmed by the long list of properties such as palaces, mansions, private planes, … of members of the Royal Family. For example, the Crown Prince of this country spent nearly half a billion USD (more than 10,000 billion VND) to buy a painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
