Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, or King Rama X, is reportedly the richest king worldwide.
According to Business Standard, his vast wealth has brought him international recognition, surpassing many billionaires.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s wealth is truly staggering, estimated at around Rs 3.7 lakh crore (approximately USD 43 billion). This fortune stems from both a vast inheritance and extensive investments.
He reportedly owns an incredible 17,000 properties in Bangkok, along with over 300 luxury cars from every top brand imaginable. His collection goes beyond land vehicles—he is said to possess 38 private jets, showcasing his love for extravagant travel.
And if that wasn’t enough, the King also reportedly owns 52 gold-decorated boats, highlighting his passion for luxury rides on water as well. King Vajiralongkorn’s assets span land, air, and sea, making him one of the wealthiest and most lavish monarchs in the world.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn comes from a distinguished royal lineage, with his father, Bhumibol Adulyadej, being one of the world’s longest-serving monarchs.
Following the death of his father in 2016, Vajiralongkorn officially took the throne in 2019. King Bhumibol died on October 13, 2016, at the age of 88. Vajiralongkorn took the throne and inherited much more than just the crown.
Born to King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit, he had a diverse education spanning several countries.
According to Reuters, he completed his schooling in Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Australia before enrolling at Canberra’s prestigious Royal Military College. There, he earned a bachelor’s degree in military studies.
Beyond academics, King Vajiralongkorn is also highly trained as a pilot, reportedly certified to fly both fighter jets and helicopters, highlighting his strong military background and diverse skill set. In the 1970s, he was involved in military efforts to combat communist insurgents in Thailand.
Throughout his life, King Vajiralongkorn has been married four times, with each marriage drawing significant public and media interest. His personal life often makes headlines, much like his lavish spending habits.
Despite facing criticism and controversy, the King continues to be one of the richest and most influential monarchs globally.
