Sheikh Rashid Al Maktoum - 5th Most Richest

When the Forbes had announced the richest man in the world, the first person that crossed my mind is what place will be Sheik Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, will be. I can’t imagine how much worth his asset because he owns almost all of Dubai. From leading airline to leading hotels up to the biggest island and tallest building in the world, he is the man behind. As I looked over on the list, I was shocked that he was not on the list and was satisfied thinking that he did not declared his asset for security reasons.

Forbes declared Warren Buffett of USA was the richest man in the world with the net worth of $62 billion followed by Carlos Slim Helu & Family of Mexico and third was, William Gates III of USA.

But 3 days ago, my doubt on the richest man was answered by yahoo search engine. Almost every hour they posted a very interesting story that will catch your attention every time you will open their site. Sheik Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai was not on the list of the richest man in the world because he is a member of the royal family. I was amazed to find out that the richest man in the world (ordinary or member of the royal blood) is not from oil producing or super power country, he is from Thailand. Yes! From my neighbour country, Thailand. The following are the richest among the royal blood.

Name	Country	Net Worth in US $
King Bhumibol	Thailand	131 Billion
Sheik Khalifa Al Nayan	UAE	23 Billion
King Abdullah bin Abdul	Saudi Arabia	21 Billion
Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah	Brunei	20 Billion
Sheik Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum	UAE	18 Billion

For the complete list, of course you can find it in the internet.
