The Richest Of Dubai

The crown prince of Dubai, known by his given name, Faisal, is one of the wealthiest royals in the world, with a personal net worth of $400 million. However, the dubai royal family is worth an estimated 18 billion dollars, so it's not surprising that the prince has extravagant tastes. He owns amphibious vehicles, a fleet of luxury tanks, and exotic animals worth millions of dollars, including the most expensive horse. Here's how the royal prince of dubai spends his millions let's start with where he lives of course the prince who goes by the title sheikh hamden bin muhammad has plenty of options when it comes to luxury homes the dubai family owns plenty of expensive properties around the world but these are the ones favorited by phaza the first is the royal palace because how could anybody not love living in this place the zabeel palace is estimated to be worth as much as 500 million dollars and officially belongs to the ruler of dubai and faza's father sheikh mohammed bin rashid al-maktoum these photos are from when the palace was lit up for an array of royal weddings while the interior has been kept pretty private and visitors are allowed nowhere near the royal home these shots of another of dubai's royal palaces give us an idea of just how opulent it is on the inside in fact most of dubai's royal palaces are in the same area which is basically a large complex of several palaces where most royal family members live to get away from life in dubai the prince has a favorite spot in vancouver canada he owns a 55 million dollar penthouse at the fairmont pacific rim hotel nice huh originally faza bought just one penthouse in the building for 25 million in 2017. but why buy one when you can have three but then he quickly bought three sub-penthouse units just underneath it bringing the total investment to 55 million dollars and reportedly he paid in cash now the luxury penthouse covers fifteen thousand square feet over the building's top three floors it features all glass walls for amazing views of the canadian cities downtown a loft seating area a spacious kitchen an office and multiple living rooms and lounges the prince also has ties to another luxurious hotel but he doesn't just own a penthouse in this one he owns the whole thing zabeel investments is a private investment company owned by fazah that owns tons of properties across the united arab emirates including the hotel jamira zabil suray located on the famous man-made luxury island of palm jumeirah the dubai hotel costs 12 billion dollars to construct and has its own indoor and outdoor pools access to private beaches for its guests and tons of luxury suites there are 405 rooms for guests plus 38 royal residences where the dubai royals including viza can enjoy a taste of the zabeel luxury meant just for them fazah has been called a bit of an animal whisperer a reputation he earned because of all the exotic pets he owns his collection includes tigers elephants lions and plenty of distinguished peacocks but there's probably nothing more impressive than his camel because it's the most expensive camel in the entire world while searching for the world's greatest camel to add to his collection you know just like the rest of us do all the time the prince picked this one out of 17 000 candidates he bought the camel for 2.7 million dollars and it's been a star on his instagram account ever since finally an instagram account worth following while less expensive fazzo's falcons are also some of his favorite animals the prince has individual falcons flown into the united arab emirates thanks to his falcon dealer brynn close who provides the prince with falcons exclusively while we aren't sure exactly how much fazzo spends per falcon he's expected to own hundreds and they can win the prince more than one hundred thousand dollars anytime they win a race or competition does espn run falcon racing check that prince phiza even has another animal that's expected to be the most expensive of its kind one of his prized show horses reportedly cost the prince 1.8 million dollars and he's been spotted showing it off at competitions all over the world the prince is believed to own more than 1 000 horses across the world and he has at least 120 camels on his farm in dubai while the prince could choose to get around on the backs of camels horses and elephants he usually opts for his multi-million dollar car collection which includes multiple gold vehicles these flashy golden cars include a gold rolls royce phantom worth an estimated 8.2 million dollars he also has a golden lamborghini aventador worth 7.5 million a porsche 918 spyder with a price tag of 5.8 million and a gold range rover vogue expected to be worth at least 3.2 million he also has a lamborghini veneno roadster worth 4.5 million when the car was released in 2014 only nine were ever produced and he had the car gold-plated for an unspecified but probably extravagant amount of money but the most expensive golden vehicle he owns is a mercedes amg g63 worth an astonishing 9.6 million his other non-golden how dare he luxury vehicles aren't really any less impressive he has an aston martin 177 worth 1.9 million that was once thought to be the most expensive car in the world it gets his name because there are only 77 of these cars in existence his bugatti veyron grand sport is another unique addition to his collection it's got a strange reptilian body can reach speeds of 250 miles per hour and it cost the prince 1.7 million he also has a la ferrari worth 2.1 million and a sleek ferrari f12 berlinetta worth 1.5 million okay enough about the cars what about his fleet of tanks prince bazaar owns an extraordinary collection of luxury tanks is that a thing yeah beloved by the rich they can plow over any terrain from sand and mud to snow and they're also military grade and nearly indestructible the prince has been spotted using them for joy rides in the deserts of dubai these rip saw tanks cost 495 000 for a single seat model 545 thousand dollars for two seats and 595 000 for four seats in case you were thinking of buying one since the prince seems to love to drive in any terrain possible he's also got quite the collection of amphibious cars the prince used to be a big fan of the python but now he's upgraded to the next best thing the panther though the python can reach a record-setting speed on water about 60 miles per hour it has an enormous 300 000 price tag the newer pythons are even faster but they're also cheaper and expected to cost 135 000. see that's affordable the prince spent eight hundred thousand dollars in total on multiple panthers to add to his collection to get a head start on the water vehicle trend before they officially hit the market for a more relaxed time on the sea prince pizza also owns a few luxurious super yachts one of them is the 70 million esmeralda but his most expensive yacht that he bought in 2013 cost 180 million dollars and it has everything he could possibly need on water including a gym designed by usain bolt several pools and a personal spa and a helicopter landing pad and of course the prince also has his own private plane he uses the boeing 747 400 which cost about 260 million dollars the dubai royal air wing has a fleet of them that can be used by members of the royal family however he also likes to fly first class on emirates which costs a minimum 600 per hour of flight time tickets across the globe can easily exceed twenty thousand dollars each so there's one last question how has the prince racked up such an impressive personal net worth does he really work for his money well of course there are zebel investments the private investment company helps keep personal money in the prince's pockets and the company has invested billions on buildings and construction projects but obviously most of the prince's net worth is thanks to his connections as a member of the royal family while most of faza's hobbies are just for fun he's incredibly talented and takes part in a lot of competitions he's an award-winning horse rider semi-professional skydiver and an accomplished athlete he's also a talented poet and photographer and is the founder of the hamdan international photography award with so many incredible hobbies and millions to spend on them he doesn't seem to spend much time in the office but if you were a royal wouldn't you do the same saudi billionaire turkey bin abdullah has a 22 million dollar car collection that will make your jaw drop the uber wealthy royal never misses an opportunity to show off his gold-plated supercars and luxury cruisers and he even racked up some hefty parking fines when he was driving his whips around london the globe-trotting prince is reportedly linked to the house of sod which at the time of writing was worth an estimated 1.4 trillion dollars so the parking fines didn't upset him too much here's a look at some of the fabulous gold supercars owned by turkey bin abdullah prepare to be amazed the most expensive gold car in turkey bin abdullah's collection is his spectacular bugatti veyron bugatti veyrons typically sell for 1.9 million dollars but when you wrap a veyron in gold expect the price to go way way up bin abdullah's gold-plated veyron is worth an estimated 10 million dollars and it always turns heads when he takes it out for a spin the veyron might just be the most impressive supercar ever built bugatti developed the veyron completely from scratch and barely any parts or components from existing car concepts were used in its production it's the pinnacle of supercar performance the veyron can reach a top speed of 408 kilometers per hour and is equipped with an 8.0 liter quad turbocharged w16 engine the powerful engine puts out more than 1 000 horsepower and can propel the veyron from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.5 seconds not every car in bin abdullah's collection is an ultra-fast supercar if he wants to cruise around in something a little bit more classy he opts for his gold-plated rolls-royce phantom coupe the 4 million dollar masterpiece has a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour and can go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.1 seconds sure it's not particularly fast but that's not the point of owning a rolls royce it's about cruising in style and showing off bin abdullah's 18 carat gold wrapped rolls royce is just as nice inside as it is outside the luxurious interior of the rolls-royce phantom coupe is decked out in the finest leathers woods metals and fabrics it really is the finest saloon car on the market when bin abdullah wants to go off-roading he hops in his mercedes-benz g63 amg 6x6 his 2.5 million dollar g63 6x6 looks right at home tearing through the sandy dunes of saudi arabia's deserts bin abdullah even posted a video of himself racing alongside a camel in his g63 6x6 with a top speed of 161 kilometers per hour the camel didn't stand a chance the amg was only on the market for two years so even the ones that aren't gold are fairly rare bin abdullah's massive fortune likely came from oil and gas so it might seem a bit strange that he owns a porsche 918 spider the limited production mid-engine plug-in hybrid comes equipped with a 6.8 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that delivers an all-electric range of 19 kilometers bin abdullah's 918 spider is not only gold it's green too the 1.5 million dollar marvel is incredibly fast it has a top speed of 340 kilometers per hour and can go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.6 seconds what supercar collection would be complete without a lamborghini bin abdullah's lamborghini aventador sv is not quite one of a kind but it's close it's one of only 500 so it's no surprise it's worth 1.2 million dollars the gold wrap really makes this supercar stand out as do the car's iconic scissor doors bin abdullah took his lamborghini aventador sv for a spin in an upscale part of london and was slapped with a 110 dollar parking ticket but he wasn't bothered and continued having his lunch 110 dollars for bin abdullah is like a penny to us regular folks so it's no surprise he was unfazed the fuzz also slapped the ticket on bin abdullah's g63 6x6 the same day they must have been jumping for joy when they saw the gold cars parked on the street bin abdullah is clearly a fan of lambos because he owns a gold-plated lamborghini huracan the one million dollar beauty is equipped with a v10 engine and an electronically controlled all-wheel drive system that makes driving the supercar a breeze every lamborghini is a work of art so it's no wonder that bin abdullah is so fond of these spectacular supercars the bentley flying spur is one of the more affordable luxury cars on the market the base price is just 187 000 however turkey bin abdullah wanted to take his flying spur to the next level what better way to do so than to wrap it in gold of course bin abdullah's 500 000 bently flying spur has a w12 engine that can generate 616 horsepower so it's both powerful and flashy a typical range rover vogue is about as unassuming as you can get however the same can't be said for turkey bin abdullah's range rover vogue it's obviously wrapped in gold but it also has a high-end jamaan motorsport tuning package the 500 000 suv has 322 horsepower instead of the standard 272 and is equipped with massage seats and a refrigerated storage compartment the range rover vogue can reach a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour and go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in eight seconds not bad at all for an suv although if he's in a rush bin abdullah will have to take one of his lambos not every car in turkey bin abdullah's car collection is gold he also owns a modest maybach 62 worth 450 thousand dollars he likely drives around in his maybach 62 when he wants to go under the radar while the maybach 62 is a classy car it's certainly not going to turn heads especially if it only has a standard black paint job there is a gold maybach 62 out there in the wild though but it's not owned by turkey bin abdullah dragon's den star and entrepreneur theo popheitis reportedly owns a 57 million dollar maybach 62. yes 57 million dollars both the interior and exterior of pophitis's maybach 62 are covered in gold talk about extravagant not everyone can afford a gold-plated supercar like turkey bin abdullah but it's actually possible to take a ride in one even if you're strapped for cash london-based taxi service my whip actually offers passengers a chance to be chauffeured around in a gold-plated supercar it's entirely up to chance though there's a 1 in 100 chance of being picked up in a gold supercar like a mclaren or lamborghini looks like turkey bin abdullah isn't the only one traveling in style here's an interesting fact did you know that turkey bin abdullah has a pet cheetah he even lets the big cat sit passenger side in his super cars we wonder how he keeps the fast cat calm when he's cruising down the streets bin abdullah is not the only wealthy middle eastern billionaire who owns a big cat lions tigers and cheetahs are extremely popular with uber wealthy royals in the persian gulf gold cars 50 million dollar dowry 500 million dollar divorces and real gold c-3pos are just some of the ways arab royalty flex their billions dubai's president abu dhabi zamir and supreme commander of the united arab emirates's army khalifa bin zayed al-nayan flashes cash in one of the world's flashiest cities to stand out in the city with the world's tallest building the burj khalifa you have to do some spending 15 billion is the bankroll as of the end of 2021 and here are some of the purchases cars 200 of them he has a bullet and bomb proof 1.2 million dollar audi a8 lm and a purple 147 500 mercedes-benz a63 in terms of he has seven gallardo's 13 huracans and 21 aventadors there's a hefty mclaren section in khalifa bin zayed al-nayan's garage 13 p1s and 24 720s he's got seven laferraris whoa those go for 1.5 to 7 million a piece a konig seg lichen hypersport many many mercedes and paganis as well as many other models of the aforementioned brands the grand total estimated value of his total collection 100 million 120 million of the united arab emirates's second president goes to a private jet the rs 860 karori it seats five in an uber comfortable throne room type setup in the cabin and just on the other side of the partition is a california king bed for long naps filled with dreams and technicolor is there more well with these guys there's always more sheikh khalifa owns the world's largest yacht the azam the 590 foot ultra sleek vessel costs an estimated 605 million dollars the construction operation and maintenance of this massive private ship by germany's lurson yachts has created jobs for over 4 000 people its impressive size makes it almost comparable to a cruise ship sheikh khalifa occasionally stays at ascot place in windsor great park in britain he bought it in 1989 for 23.7 million dollars from mcflick you know the mercedes-benz air its 400 acres are surely worth quite a bit more than that now and the lake grotto and estate cottages must be a pleasant change from the sandstorms as well as the hustle and bustle of dubai but apparently the english water was not quite up to royal standards so he had underground tanks installed and had them filled with the mineral water from the spa town of evian le bay in the french alps not coincidentally this is where a great many other abu dhabi royals live gotta keep upright his famous neighbor at ascot place the queen at windsor castle oh you know the lady on all that canadian money his ties to britain don't in there 5 billion of his cash being tied to owning prime english real estate and has over 1 000 tenants he owns more square feet of living space in london than the duke of westminster you know prince george of cambridge's godfather that guy dubai's vp and prime minister sheikh mohammed bin rashid al maktoum has pretty fat pockets himself one of his biggest expenses a half a billion to his ex-wife princess hayah of jordan probably spent too much time out falcon hunting hope it was worth it sheikh mohammed rolls around in a quarter mil white g63 amg mercedes number one meaning it was the first one off the production line but that's worth pennies compared to his golden car collection he's got a 5.8 million dollar gold porsche 918 spider a gold 7.5 million dollar lamborghini aventador a 9.6 mil gold mercedes amg 63 truck a 3.2 million dollar gold land rover vogue a 1.4 gold godzilla nissian gtr which looks like it belongs on a serving tray a 3.2 million dollar gold ferrari 360 modena an 8.2 million gold rolls royce phantom drop head coupe and the crown jewel a customized 24 carat rolls royce that looks like it belongs in a batman film which costs a whopping 14.2 million dollars i wonder if racing purist etory bugatti would be spinning in his grave if he saw sheikh muhammad's 9.2 million gold bugatti veyron personally i prefer his 10 million dollar candy cane red and white veyron pigasso edition like the rolling stones sheikh mohammed loves horses so much so he founded the global racing team goldofin and its highly successful stallion operation darley they have farms in kentucky england ireland and australia and have over 100 racehorses worth well over 8 million dollars including horse racing hall of famer hartnell he celebrates his horse racing victories on his 400 million yacht named after his country dubai the world's third largest private yacht at 531 feet has a lobster tank and a disco perfect for a night of bisque and break dancing these arab billionaires know how to partay but okay enough about sheikh muhammad bin rasheed al maktoum's gold let's move on the emir of qatar has more money than queen elizabeth with a 2.1 billion dollar fortune tamim bin hamad al-thani rules with absolute monarchy and while some people treat themselves to baskin and robins when they want to spoil themselves qatar's ruler treats himself to listening to rick ross's maybach music in one of his dozen ben's s-600 maybach luxury sedans worth five hundred sixteen thousand dollars apiece he switches it up with his white ninety one thousand four hundred dollar lexus lx 570 three bentley bentegas of 240 000 per unit and for that show-stopping attention a 500 000 bentley moves on limo okay it's only a third of the price of joe biden's beast but it's a lot prettier when it comes to gift giving there's generous and then there's this guy he gives presents worth more than the buffalo sabres nhl franchise he gave the turkish president recep tayyip erdogan a 400 million dollar private jet a boeing 747-8 inside it has a stateroom a boardroom and a hospital it was to confirm fannie's special love for erdogan i wonder what the turkish president got the emir in return when buster rhymes rapped about a-rap money he was probably talking about people like tamim bin hamad al-thani and his 500 million dollar al-lusayl yacht look we like busta rhymes but busta bus could barely afford to fill the tank with his 20 million dollar net worth as this 400-foot 800-ton sea behemoth is the epitome of opulence it's only the 33rd largest private vessel in the world earlier we saw numero uno the azam but it may be the most luxurious with its european styled furnishings wood and leather trims and extravagant staterooms the allahui dynasty king muhammad vi is the current king of morocco one of the richest kings in the world with an estimated net worth of five billion dollars his majesty gets to live in the royal palace in rabat its entrance is fit for a giant and the king's personal mosque is an ideal place for moments of peace as well as to take in top shelf moroccan architecture its classy mausoleum houses a marble casket that holds king muhammad v who died in 1961 even the pope was pretty impressed and you've seen where that guy lives forbes reported that the palace costs 960 thousand dollars a day to operate including personal expenses clothing and automotive repair costs yeah rolls royce and mercedes x600 w100 repairs don't come cheap let's be honest nicknamed the king of the poor by his entourage thanks to his efforts to ease the burden of poverty of his people king mohammed vi flies to france in his private 600 million dollar plus boeing 747 400 to his getaway home just around the corner from the eiffel tower which he bought for 94 mil he bought it from the saudi royal family whom we'll get to in not very long real estate in france's capital goes for an average of 1 345 and 81 cents per square foot so you know at 94 million it's a massive mansion 12 bedrooms a swimming pool a games room private garden and private parking round out the purchase with paris parking spots costing around 40 grand it'd be nice to have one in the heart of the city of light although the monarchy was abolished in egypt in 1953 nassef sawiris is an egyptian billionaire wealthy enough to be pharaoh with a current net worth of 8.1 billy he is the second richest man in africa after aliko dangote of nigeria with his cash the cairo kingpin bought himself a 70 million dollar co-op in the world's priciest city in terms of real estate new york city the purchase of 965th avenue for that price is the largest deal for a co-op in that city's history topping david geffen's 54 million dollar fifth avenue purchase in 2012. now that he lives right next to macy's he has five fireplaces for santa to come down 14 rooms for him to wander through to look for cookies and a wrap around terrace so he can look down at central park and pretend he's watching a live-action version of friends or sex in the city if that's his thing the details on this family's cairo property is a very tightly kept secret he drives a relatively conservative 52 000 2019 audi q5 a little boring compared to the other cars we've seen in this video but he makes up for it with his 240 foot yala yacht we're the empty 80 million dollars and not just one but two gulf stream g650 private jets worth a hefty 70 million dollars a piece that's more like it oh how nice it would be to be able to sit on a couch while flying to new york city nothing like it really if you factor in all the wealth of all 15 000 members of saudi's royal family you're looking at 1.4 trillion that crushes the british royal family's 28 billion when most people talk in the trillions they're talking about something to do with computer science or the wealth of entire first world nations not a family the oil juggernauts's bank accounts are mainly fueled by saudi aramco and a lot of it is spent to keep you looking and keeping your eyes green with envy golden tissue boxes are just the tip of the iceberg let's start with crown prince mohammed bin salman he ponied up 450.3 million for salvatore mundi that's an original painting by leonardo da vinci by the way at three different times this painting has belonged to three different kings of england it's nicknamed jesus christ making it an oddly ironic purchase for someone of muslim descent also known as mbs mohammed bin salman paid 300 million for the world's most expensive home francis chateau louis xiv royals seemed to like to follow the footsteps of royals in the same way hollywood kingpin david geffen set his sights and succeeded in living in movie mogul jack l warner's beverly hills mansion mbs succeeded in living in louis the great's castle it's got a labyrinth like the house in the shining a farm and a veggie garden it's got a great many statues of great many french nationals and a real gold statue of star wars c3po okay and the gold doesn't stop there it's all over the house and adorns the massive fountain at the front gate the number of bedrooms ten the amenities like the pool and indoor cinema with reclining red leather seats might i add the wine cellar all not too bad but the icing on the cake it's the moat that surrounds the property that gives it that timeless look of we got money over here along with a transparent underwater chamber to boot you can slip downstairs to marvel at the fish on leather couches as you ponder your next major move what's next for mbs and saudi royal family will they wish to buy the moon like george bailey did and it's a wonderful life if it was for sale they'd buy in but when you're that rich you buy things that aren't for sale mbs has been trying to buy manchester united for quite some time and may be on the market to buy newcastle united from the premier league they play you know that video game club manager but in real life what else when the world is not enough weddings are another way to burn up saudi arabian royals 2017's royal wedding of 62 year old saudi prince sultan bin salman to a 25 year old bride with a never-ending dress was quite expensive the convoy was 50 white range rovers long white being the color of the king the dowry to the bride and her family was a rumored 50 million dollars and the money apparently arrived in 30 or so suitcases off a bus that probably should have been a brinks truck other gifts came off a chariot fit for cinderella the lavish ceremony took place at the four seasons hotel in kuwait at burj al-shaya the gifts were diamonds diamonds and more diamonds bin salman bought himself a serene yacht from russian vodka industrialist yuri scheffler for 502 million dollars the 432-footer costs 49 million to run every year which is a hundred thirty six thousand dollars a day or five thousand six hundred fifty dollars per hour it comes with a helipad and a chopper on the bow because hey when you're a salad and you gotta go you gotta go most upper echelon millionaires and billionaires fly in small to mid-sized private jets the saud family kicks it up a notch prince alwajeed flies high in a luxury 747. fueling it up ain't no problem when you've got a quarter of the earth's known oil supply the master bedroom yeah there's a master bedroom on the plane has a shower that's well made of gold and the king bed has white linens and at least 10 pillows the 18.7 billion dollar man also bought donald trump's 282 282-foot yacht in 91 the trump princess for 20 million at the time back when the real estate mogul needed quick cash he renamed it the kingdom 5kr gotta put your name on it you know that ship has been around having been seen in the james bond film never say never again where she was called flying saucer hey if sean connery's been on your yacht she's priceless she also served as a muse for queen for their 1989 song khashoggi's ship nice way to be immortalized the high seas isn't prince al-wahid bin talal assad's only flex zone he is a highway superstar when driving his 48 million dollar diamond encrusted benz sl-600 yes even the tailpipe is bling-bling there are some swarovski crystal accents to fill in some of the gaps here he did the exact same thing for his twenty thousand dollar ducati motorcycle for four point eight million dollars as well cause hey you only live once right if you're a royal you gotta have a palace to back up your title right well arab royals don't hold back a saudi crown prince has now bought the most expensive home in the world it's time for your royal tour of how arab billionaires spend their money and the luxurious abodes where they lay their heads at night and you know that pillowcase is bespoke egyptian cotton let's begin with prince alwaleed bin talal a member of the saudi royal family as he is the nephew of the late king abdullah his net worth is estimated at 19 billion dollars making him one of the richest people in the world he's definitely the richest person in saudi arabia and one of the wealthiest in the middle east so you know his mansion must be incredible or should i say palaces plural three palaces belong to al waleed two are already in existence and a third is in construction in central riyadh saudi arabia he lives in a 250 000 square foot palace known as the kingdom palace featuring 317 rooms furnished with italian marble silk oriental carpets gold-plated faucets and 250 televisions the place is valued at 130 million dollars the palace has personal chefs who boast they can feed 2 000 people within a given hour of notice and work in four different kitchens one for arab cuisine one for continental one for asian cuisine and a fifth for desserts guests can relax in the lagoon-shaped pool and watch a movie in the 45-seat cinema that's located in the basement of course the road leading to the palace is named after the man himself prince talal road the compound features three outdoor pools and a large indoor swimming pool there are several different buildings on the estate including a mosque the other palace i had mentioned before is a 500 000 square foot kingdom resort it features three lakes and gardens and is where he typically entertains his guests it's kind of like his own personal hotel at least he uses it like one at this palace the prince entertains his most important guests such as his old pal caldoon al mubarak bill gates parliamentary delegates from around the world and other vips kingdom oasis is still under construction and it's going to be a 4 million square foot palace it plans to be a luxury resort that will include a private zoo and a 70 000 square meter lake oh did i mention he bought a castle too yep the castle of castanito on the hills of turn italy the prince bought this house in 2009 and every time he visits southern europe he stays in this artistic house that is situated in a cozy neighborhood in turin a house of this size occupies 21 528 square feet of land which is the equivalent of 173 acres there are several orchards vegetable gardens flower balconies as well as a vintage greenhouse on the vast property alwaleed owns a floating palace as well in the form of an 85.9 meter yacht called kingdom 5 kr the 65th largest private yacht in the world which was originally built for the saudi arms dealer adnan khashoggi in 1979 it was even in a bond movie and never say never again it appears as a yacht owned by james bond's villain largo donald trump also owned it once too but he ran into some well-publicized financial problems in the late 1980s and sold it to the prince it has a disco cinema helipad pool guest rooms and all the other luxuries one can imagine from the seas to the sky he also owns several aircraft converted for private use a boeing 747 an airbus 380 and a hawker city 125 the boeing 747 is equipped with a throne two bedrooms and a dining table with 14 seats apparently each crew member and flight attendant is from a different country he likes his variety i suppose the airbus comes complete with a turkish bath a concert hall an executive boardroom with holograms and a garage for his rolls royce so where does the money come from well he's royalty but some of his assets include a 95 stake in kingdom holding company 91 ownership of rotana video and audio visual company 90 ownership of the lebanese broadcasting corporation about six percent ownership of citigroup oh and in 2011 he acquired a 300 million dollar stake in twitter okay remember i mentioned an arab prince that bought the world's most expensive home well that prince is crown prince mohammed bin salman and the home is the chateau louis xiv it was purchased for over 300 million dollars it is based on 17th century french castles but it was built near versailles between 2008 and 2011. crown prince mohammed bin salman is heir to the saudi throne if you're lucky enough to get invited you won't want to miss gawking at the marble statues a hedged labyrinth set in 57 acres of landscape park and a gold leaf fountain gold is a common theme throughout the lavish palace the fountains sound system lights and air

iranian would ever dream of visiting at the time but not anymore the entrance fee today is a mere dollar on a 27-acre plot the nyavarin palace is a complex of mansions in which one can marvel at the luxuries the shah enjoyed during his reign as iran's monarch for nearly four decades the compound dates back to iran's qajar dynasty in the 1800s when the monarchy chose to build a summer palace on the mountainside as tehran grew during its oil boom of the 1960s the shaw's third wife queen ferrar had been an architecture student she spent millions of dollars renovating the compound's palaces one of the wings of the palace became a private art gallery of pieces she purchased around the world the royal library museum is also another site to see the interior design with the modern architecture of the time is unique they use this place not only as a library entertain guests and display artwork such as paintings furniture and sculptures finally you're going to want to check out the green space of the complex you can visit the inscription garden museum also darband and dara k are great natural attractions near the complex if you're planning to visit iran in the winter you can also do some skiing and other winter activities the shaw was known to walk around the grounds or speed along the roads in one of his many sports cars a pilot as well he'd fly helicopters in and out staying off the streets as tensions rose all the spending and long circulating rumors of embezzlement surrounding the pallavi dynasty helped fuel anger against a monarchy in 1979 the pressure became unbearable for the shah and he fled the palace for the last time by helicopter so now the complex is open to visitors today so they can walk the halls of the shah's former residents and even see the clothes and items he left behind the dressed uniform of the shaw complete with a ceremonial sword sheath stands on a headless mannequin in one room the shaw and his queen are also depicted in two paintings among the cars housed in another building in the complex are three rolls-royces five mercedes benz six motorcycles and even a snowmobile prince ali reza's study room was also left behind complete with an electric piano stuffed kangaroos a picture of naval warships taped to the walls and this is one iranian royal home that you can feel free to visit today and it feels like a time capsule of another era according to forbes this year there are 22 arab billionaires worldwide this is good news to the richest because these homes are definitely worthy of our attention hopefully more
