LifestyleTranscript
00:00The Arab world is like the VIP lounge of global royalty, housing some of the richest monarchs on the planet.
00:05Take Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, for example, who casually aunts a net worth of $30 billion to King Abdullah II of Jordan,
00:13with a net worth of $750 million still enough to buy a eat of private jets.
00:18These monarchs don't just sit on golden thrones, they wield immense political power while sipping kohi in palaces that could double as bond villain lairs.
00:26Let's begin with Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah, $700 million.
00:31The House of Sabah in the city of Kuwait, currently helmed by Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah,
00:36took a dramatic turn in leadership in 2020 after the passing of his half-brother, Sheikh Sabah IV, Ahmad al-Jabber al-Sabah.
00:43One might imagine a throne hando involving velvet robes, ancient rituals and perhaps a golden scepter,
00:48but in reality it's likely just a really fancy signature on some paperwork.
00:52Kuwait might be a postage stamp on the world map, but when it comes to wealth,
00:56it's the kind of place that makes the monopoly banker look underpaid.
00:59The ruling al-Sabah family is estimated to be worth a whopping $360 billion,
01:04which makes it the second richest family in the world after Saudi Arabia's House of Saud.
01:08The Bayan Palace, the Emir's residence, is a betting reaction spread across an area of 1,399,500 square metres,
01:16which makes it two times bigger than Disneyland.
01:18The Bayan Palace comprises six compounds featuring 18 buildings,
01:22including a magnificent conference hall that houses 1,000 people and the Amiri tent.
01:27The conference hall comprises a celebration hall, reception area, press hall and library.
01:32It also houses the OCE of His Highness, the Prince of Kuwait.
01:35The House of Sabah owns an ultra-lux assemblage of cars with not only expensive but some rare inclusions.
01:41The collection includes former state limousines of Kuwait and other royal households,
01:46Minervas from 1904 and 1924, and at least three Aston Martins from the original James Bond movies.
01:52Supercars in the Royal E.T. include a custom Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Ferrari F40, a Rolls-Royce and a 1960s Porsche Carrera.
02:01The most crucial aircraft in the Kuwait Royal E.T. are jets.
02:05The Royal E.T. features not one but two Boeing aircraft and another Boeing 737.
02:10It also includes at least V airbuses, which usually cost $400, $500 million.
02:15Former U.S. President Trump allegedly made a light-hearted remark about being envious of the Emir of Kuwait's enormous private jet.
02:22Reports suggest the jet is 100 meters longer than the one Trump used.
02:26Next on the list is the King of Jordan, whose love for luxury cars could probably make a garage blush.
02:31King Abdullah II, $750 million.
02:34He is the reigning monarch of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a country located in the Middle East.
02:39He is known for being very moderate and promotes conversation about religious dearances and not disputes.
02:45He doesn't do radical things, and he has helped keep both Christian and Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem repaired and open to everyone.
02:51King Abdullah II of Jordan is living proof that being a king still has its perks.
02:56Through a maze of offshore companies, he's scooped up properties worth over $100 million in the U.S. and U.K., making him the ultimate landlord of the elite.
03:03While most of us debate over rent or mortgage, he's busy deciding which palace gets the royal treatment next.
03:09In the United States, one of King Abdullah II's most notable investments is in Malibu, California.
03:14This particular residence was purchased for an astounding $33.V million, making it one of the highest-priced properties in the area.
03:21The estate boasts seven bedrooms, a pool, and expansive grounds that owe a breathtaking views of the Partsic Ocean.
03:28The property's location on Malibu's Clicide Drive provides the king with the privacy and seclusion he desires.
03:34In London, he owns a series of ATs in the prestigious Belgravia area, a neighbourhood known for its grand architecture and proximity to Buckingham Palace.
03:42Belgravia is one of London's most expensive districts, attracting wealthy individuals from around the world.
03:47The total estimated expenditure on King Abdullah II's properties in the United States and London is approximately $106 million.
03:55Most of the cars that Abdullah II owns are inherited from his father, but he has also spent a fortune adding more vehicles to his eye-watering car collection.
04:03His selection of motors ranges from the 1954 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV to the 2009 Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss.
04:10The Phantom IV was considered the most luxurious car during the 50s, and its value today is around £1,967, £582 million, making it the most expensive car in the King of Jordan's collection and one of the most expensive cars ever.

04:46Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Sayed, the ruler of the Sultanate of Oman, a gem tucked neatly on the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, is at the helm of one of the region's few stable states.
04:56Oman may not boast the showy pizzazz of Dubai's glittering skyline or Jeddah's bustling cosmopolitan vibes, but it holds its own with a quiet, sophisticated charm,
05:05like the introverted millionaire cousin who doesn't aunt their wealth but casually mentions owning a private island.
05:10Just like his fellow Arabian rulers, Sultan Haitham bin Tariq lives a life of luxury that his huge net worth demands.
05:17Sultan Haitham bin Tariq inherited the throne from his cousin Sultan Qaboos bin Sayed.
05:21Following his death in 2020, Oman has almost 2,000 miles of coastline, and Sultan Haitham inspects it in style from his yachts.
05:29He owns two incredible yachts that both rank among the top ten largest in the world.
05:33The larger, the Fulk al-Salamar, is 538 feet long and by displacement is the largest yacht in the world, with space for 100 crew members and 40 guests.
05:42Despite its grandeur, it is only a support vessel for the Sultan's other yacht.

05:50At 508 feet long, it is the fifth largest yacht in the world.
05:53Built in 2008, the yacht costs $600 million and costs $80 million annually for maintenance.

06:45The luxurious estate includes a swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and entertainment complex.
06:50There were plans to extend the property and add.
06:52On another ten bedrooms.
06:54Unfortunately for the Sultan, though, a local lake was home to some rare nuts that he wasn't allowed to disturb.
06:59Next on the list is a royalty who expanded his investments to owning a football club.
07:02He is Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, $2 billion.
07:06Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, is sitting pretty with an estimated personal net worth of $2 billion.
07:13But that's just his pocket change compared to the family fortune.

07:22enough to make Scrooge McDuck consider diversifying his portfolio.
07:25In recognition of his inluence, Sheikh Tamim was named the most innuential Muslim in the world in 2023 by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre.
07:34He assumed power following his father's abdication and his older brother's renouncement of the throne.

08:40The yacht was designed to be a foot shorter than his father's superyacht, the Qatara, as a mark of respect.
08:45Sheikh Tamim has also made significant contributions to sports, founding Oryx Qatar Sports Investments in 2005,
08:52which owns Paris Saint-Germain FC, as part of Qatar's Eorts to elevate its international prole.
