There are countless wealthy individuals in the world, but very few live with the level of royalty and extravagance that King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand does.
Known as King Rama X, he is believed to be the richest king in the world, according to a report by The Business Standard. However, his life is not just about wealth; it also encompasses a lifestyle so grand that it makes even the biggest celebrities seem modest by comparison.
His father ruled the Buddhist kingdom for 70 years, making him one of the longest-serving monarchs in the world. Vajiralongkorn was crowned in May 2019 following the passing of his father, Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died on October 13, 2016.
A Fortune like no other
King Vajiralongkorn’s wealth is estimated to be around Rs. 3.7 lakh crore (approximately USD 43 billion). Most of this enormous fortune came to him as inheritance. However, instead of simply holding on to it, the King expanded his empire further by investing in land and some of Thailand’s largest companies.
He owns thousands of acres of land across Thailand, including over 17,000 properties in Bangkok alone. While most people spend their entire lives trying to buy a single house, this King literally owns parts of an entire capital city.
A lifestyle beyond imagination
The King owns over 300 luxury cars, including top models from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and even stretched limousines. If that wasn’t enough, he also owns 38 private jets, many of which are decorated with royal emblems and golden interiors.
But perhaps the most jaw-dropping part of his collection is his 52 golden boats. These are not just ordinary boats they’re entirely decorated in gold and are used only during royal events.
His education, marriage
Vajiralongkorn, born in 1952, is the only son among the four children of Thailand’s late King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit. As reported by Reuters, he began his early education in Thailand before moving abroad for further studies. He attended private schools in the United Kingdom and Australia, eventually enrolling in the prestigious Royal Military College, Duntroon, in Canberra.
He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in military studies from the University of New South Wales in Australia. According to his official royal biography, Vajiralongkorn is not only academically accomplished but also a trained military professional. He is a certified fighter jet and helicopter pilot and served as a full-time officer in the Royal Thai Army.
During his military career in the 1970s, he participated in operations against communist insurgents within Thailand.
Over the years, he has had four marriages, and each of them has drawn attention for one reason or another. His personal life often makes headlines just like his extravagant spending.
Despite controversies and criticism that have come his way, the King continues to live a life that very few in the world can even imagine. His name is often associated with luxury, power, and an unmatched royal aura.

The truth riches is depend on the numbers of people we are able transform and put foods on their.
I pray to God Almighty to bless me in a way that I will be able to make over thousands of people to fulfill their destiny and also to be able to put foods on the table for their families and friends at large.
That is the truth riches that was approved from God not keeping or acquiring material things that can’t save our soul or one that we can’t use forever.
Everything is just 6ft in gravel.

God bless people so that they can help others. 300 fanciful cars and 38jets is to much for one person. If he was using them for business that would have been okay. Do you know one of those cars can pay some children school fees in the village?
Is a great King, is a very good King king with a fear of God that have fear and respect for his people
