Who Is the World’s Richest King With 300 Cars, 38 Private Jets, and 52 Gold-Plated Yachts?

While there are countless wealthy individuals across the globe, very few can match the extravagant lifestyle and immense wealth of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, also known as King Rama X.

According to a report by Indian media citing The Business Standard, King Vajiralongkorn is considered one of the richest monarchs in the world. His father, who ruled Thailand for nearly 70 years, was among the longest-reigning monarchs in history. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 88, and King Vajiralongkorn officially ascended to the throne in May 2019.

Heir to a Royal Legacy and a Life of Opulence

King Vajiralongkorn's net worth is estimated to be around $43 billion, with most of it inherited from his father. His royal assets include vast land holdings across Thailand, including more than 17,000 properties in Bangkok alone.

The king’s collection of luxury vehicles is no less impressive, featuring over 300 high-end cars — from Mercedes-Benz and BMW to top models of stretch limousines.

But his royal possessions don’t stop there. King Vajiralongkorn also owns 38 private jets and 52 gold-adorned yachts, which are reserved for ceremonial royal events.
