Hassanal Bolkiah has Guinness World Record as the richest religious monarch with a net worth of $40 billion (15, 500,000,000,000) He is the Sultan of Brunei. He earns $100 per second from his oil earnings and about 2 billion dollars a year.
Bolkiah also has Guinness World Record for the person with the highest number of Rolls Royce cars. He has 500 of them in his collection, which implies that he owns more than half of world's Rolls-Royce. His favorite car is Rolls-Royce Pantom VI that is custom made with flat boot and scissor doors.
The Rolls Royce is not the only type of car in his fleet. He also has 70 Ferrari 456 GTs, 80 Bentley Turbo Rs, and 25 BMW 750 ils.
In his fleet he has so many cars that it takes about an hour to take one out of the garage as the garage itself measures about ten football fields. It takes one car about a year before it is used and many are already rotten.
As if that is not enough, Hassanal Bolkiah's palace has yet another Guinness World Record as world's biggest residential palace. The palace has a lavishing 1,778 rooms designed by famous architect, Leandro Locsin.
Our Sultan is naturally exhorbitant as it is evident in his name. His name alone should qualify him for another Guinness World Record for monarch with the longest name. His full title is Bebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginga Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien Sultan Dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam
He ascended to the throne in 1967 after his father, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien abdicated the throne to him. This was after completing studies at UK's Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst.
An unbelievably crazy lifestyle of this affluent sultan is that he spends $20,000( N7,750,000) on a single haircut.
Bolkiah is often accused of outrageous lifestyle and is also accused of being a Playboy with countless extramarital affairs
