wealth can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of most people.
and people usually like to discuss how much money this family has and how much money that family has.
, for example: the legends of the Rothschild family have been enduring on the Internet, and every time they are brought up, many people participate in the discussion.
But I won’t talk about them today, I will talk about a special family: royal family .
How much wealth those famous royal families have has always been a hot topic, so people talk about it.
In 19 years, a foreign magazine called "CEOWORLD" published a global king wealth ranking list.
Guess who is the first?
is the highest head of state in more than a dozen countries and the British royal family with the most exposure?
Sorry, Queen Elizabeth II of England has not made the top ten, ranked 11th with 520 million US dollars.
That is the Saudi royal family who loves to collect gold cars, sit on a private jet, and rely on the unmanned Saudi royal family to sell oil trenches?
is also not, Saudi King Salman ranked third with 18 billion US dollars.
is actually the first place far away in the sky, right in front of you, the next door to the King of Thailand- Rama X Vajiralongkorn.
After he inherited his father’s throne and inheritance, he is proud of his fortune of 43 billion US dollars. The Queen of England is only 1/82 of him. The third king of Saudi Arabia is not half of him...

He is a local tyrant, but he is very low-key. The history of the King of Thailand
The King of Thailand has so much money that it has nothing to do with him, This is all due to the late former King Rama IX Bhumibol , the current king is a prodigal.
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, and Bhumibol, who succeeded in 1950, is just a symbol of the country like the current British royal family. There is no such great power as imagined. It is a rubber stamp.
However, in 1957, the then Prime Minister Salih came to power by means of a military coup. In order to shape his legitimacy, re-establish the authority of the King of Thailand and promote the power of the king, let the King of Thailand stand for himself. After the frequent coups of the Thai government after
, Bhumibol gradually grasped military power and gradually became a neutral in Thai politics, detached from disputes. In addition, Bhumibol loves the people like his son, is committed to the country's economic development, mediates and arbitrates various disputes, improves the lives of farmers, and practices religious freedom. It is widely loved and respected by the Thai people and has a great influence.
Bhumibol successfully changed from a virtual king to a real king.
Bhumibol, who has achieved a transcendent status, has restored all the previous privileges, such as kneeling: except for Buddhist religious leaders, anyone who meets with the King of Thailand must kneel and worship, even the Prime Minister of Thailand.
Bhumibol is the largest landlord in Thailand. The annual rent alone is hundreds of millions of dollars, and he also monopolizes various profiteering industries such as Thai oil. Even foreign investors investing in Thailand generally have to protect the royal family’s shares. Ping An, the government also provides special funds to the royal family every year.
And the duty-free shops where everyone goes to Thailand to travel and buy things are also owned by the King of Thailand, including any hotel and guesthouse food with the word "Royal" in Thailand.
Sometimes power equals wealth
The top three monarchs on the global royal list are from Thailand, Brunei and Saudi Arabia, and these three royal families have a common feature: kings have real power.
The King of Thailand holds a gun in his hand, and he does not move it, and when he moves it is earth-shattering; the monarch of Brunei, the Sultan of Brunei, has a status almost equivalent to that of the ancient emperor; the King of Saudi Arabia is also the prime minister of Saudi Arabia and has absolute rule in Saudi Arabia.
and absolute power will inevitably bring about the accumulation of wealth.
This is the origin of the wealth of the Thai royal family.
