Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah net worth is estimated to be around of $20 billion. There are many rich and famous people in the world, but not everyone knows the art to splurge it.
However, Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, better known as the Sultan of Brunei is one such person who is well versed with this art of spending the riches in the most lavish ways. One of the last remaining absolute monarchs in the world, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah net worth came from reserves of oil and natural gas, that he doesn't have to think twice about getting a haircut for a mind-boggling $21,000.
His sultanate is one of the world’s most financially affluent and communally sheltered societies, where people even do not have to pay any kind of income tax, thanks to the humane touch of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah net worth. The Sultan's passion for the world's most expensive, beautiful, rarest, fastest and unique cars knows no boundaries.
A portion of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah net worth goes with his personal collection of over 7,000 high performance cars, which by some estimates is worth more than $5 billion includes 600 Rolls Royce cars, over 300 Ferraris,134 Koenigeggs, 11 McLaren F1s, 6 Dauer Porsche 962 LMs and a number of luxurious Jaguars. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah net worth made him famous for having some of the most luxuriously customized private jets like Boeing 747-400 and Airbus 340-200. In late 1980s, for once he was ranked as world’s richest person but later on in 1990s he lost the title to the American businessman Bill Gates.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah net worth current asset evaluation is about $20 billion and if the income keeps on growing at the current rate his eldest son might soon be the world’s first trillionaire. Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah got married in 1965 to one of his cousins Pengiran Anak Saleha and became the new ruler on October 5, 1967, and was coronated on August 1, 1968. Later on he got separated and got married to Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha.

Now lets go to his cars collection .
Emperors and empires have existed throughout world history. But here is an emperor and an empire with a difference - a difference so huge that it would not have been even imagined had it not existed! It is not a coincidence that theThe Empire Hotel in Brunei is witness to the greatest empire of cars. A garage, the size of five aircraft hangars, holds within it a collection of 7000 of the world' finest cars with a combined estimated value of $5 billion!

A neatly classified garage

It would be misleading to call this palace of cars as a garage but even if we were to call it so functionally, it is much more than that. It has separate wings to hold the different brands. Thus, there is a Mercedes wing, a Rolls Royce wing, a Lamborghini wing, a Jaguar wing, a BMW wing, a Ferrari wing, a Porsche wing, a Bentley wing and so on! Some of the cars housed here are the only ones of their kind on the face of the earth like thePorsche Carma and the right-hand drive Mercedes CLKGTR. Several concept cars like the Ferrari Mythos and Pininfarina-designed Jaguar XJ-220 also grace the 'garage'.

A King's Life
The cars also seem to share the royal life of the Sultan. They barely get out of the garage because of two reasons:

1. A car parked all the way at the back may need almost 1.5 hours to be brought out.

2. With a ratio of more than 100 cars per individual in the Sultan's family and court, a car gets to be used only thrice a year even probabilistically!

The Sultan has Ferraris which were just meant to be concept cars. However, when one has money to spend than any concept can take a physical form. His 2 fully operational Ferrari Mythos are just an example of that. His Ferrari 456 is one of the perfect mix of elegance and indulgence. He got himself a factory made four-door sedan and wagon version of the Italian stallion.
His other Ferraris include names like Ferrari F40, Ferrari FX and both of the Ferrari 456 GT Sedans. He also has the Ferrari Testarossa F90, Ferrari F50 Bolide Tub by Pininfarina and Ferrari 550 Barchetta Speciale among others.
