With an estimated net worth between $30 billion and $70 billion, who is the world's richest monarch?

With an estimated net worth between $30 billion and $70 billion, King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand is the richest royal in the world. Prior to ascending to the throne at age 64 in 2016, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn was notorious for his playboy lifestyle and a penchant for sporting croptops and fake tattoos. Many feared he would not take his duties as king seriously. That is not what happened. Vajiralongkorn has vigorously embraced all the trappings of a monarchy: the grandeur, the pomp, and — to the growing consternation of many of his subjects — the power. In the handful of years since becoming King, Vajiralongkorn has made multiple changes that smack of authoritarianism.
