Apart from this, the Sultan also owns private jets with gold-plated interiors including Boeing 747-400 and Airbus 340-200.

The Sultan’s obsession with the luxurious lifestyle goes beyond expensive cars and jets. There are reports about him spending $21,000 on a single haircut.

Once the richest person in the world, the Sultan currently resides with his family in a lavish 1,788-room palace in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei’s capital.
