In the contemporary landscape, a multitude of nations upholding the mantle of monarchy have embraced a constitutional framework, wherein the Royal Family assumes a ceremonial and diplomatic role.
Their opulent possessions are often an amalgamation of inherited legacy and a portion of public funds. While concrete figures elude official documentation, discussions revolving around regal affluence invariably spotlight the following distinguished Royals.
Diving into estimations put forth by Brand Finance, the Saudi royal family stands as potential custodians of an astonishing fortune, potentially reaching a staggering 1.4 trillion USD.
To lend perspective, this sum is an awe-inspiring 16-fold greater than the already substantial 88 billion USD attributed to the British Royal Family. Anchoring this wealth are not only prominent figures like King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, but also a plethora of affluent billionaires within the extended lineage.
A substantial chunk of this wealth finds its origins in the kingdom’s abundant oil reserves. The illustrious Al Saud Oil Group, boasting a celestial market capitalization of 1 trillion USD, significantly contributes to this opulence.
Nevertheless, the Saudi Royal Family adeptly shrouds itself in a cloak of secrecy, leaving the public to marvel at the extensive roster of properties, encompassing palaces, mansions, and private aircraft, adorning its members. A noteworthy illustration involves the Crown Prince’s acquisition of a Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece, a purchase costing nearly half a billion USD (equivalent to over 10,000 billion VND).
