Widely acknowledged as one of the richest individuals globally, the Thai monarch’s fortune is built on an impressive array of assets, ranging from jewels to vast real estate holdings and stakes in major companies. Estimates place the wealth of the Thai royal family at over $40 billion (approximately ₹3.2 lakh crore), according to Financial Times. As per reports, he is the richest monarch in the world.
