This is the richest royal in the world – he's worth 80 times more than Queen Elizabeth II

Sheikhs from the oil-rich Middle East have had to accept second billing in the royals’ rich list – and the UK royal family might not be as rich as you think

With an estimated net worth of US$43 billion, Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, officially known as King Rama X, is the richest royal in the world.

Meanwhile, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, of Brunei, comes in a distant second with a total wealth valued at US$28 billion.

The third richest royal is from the Middle East. The wealth of King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud, from Saudi Arabia, is valued at around US$18 billion, followed by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (US$15 billion), King Mohammed VI, from Morocco (US$8.2 billion); and Prince Hans-Adam II, of Liechtenstein (US$7.2 billion).

Watch to see where the British royals are on the list
