He was the world's "most capable" loser, nearly bankrupting the royal family, spending $5 million a day, building more than 600 mansions around the world and even building a private palace with more than 40 lovers.
He was so rich and moneyy that he embezzled $16 billion during his tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer of Brunei. He was the younger brother of King Haji of Brunei, Prince Jeffrey.
Brunei is one of only 14 remaining absolute monarchies in the world today, and Jeffrey, as the royal family, is very powerful and has enough means to accumulate wealth.
Brunei is a country rich in mineral resources, with large oil and gas reserves, with proven oil reserves of 1.4 billion barrels that can be exploited for more than 25 years.
Due to the small population of the country, the welfare of Brunei people is very good, so even though Brunei is an absolute monarchy, its people are not so hot.
However, in 1997, Brunei broke a shocking scandal, when the king of Brunei was ready to open the treasury to withdraw funds to aid other countries, but when Jeffrey, who was the minister of finance, opened the treasury, the king of Brunei discovered that the money in the treasury had been embezzled by Jeffrey.
Because the money was so large, Jeffrey, who knew that he was at a loss, flew straight to Europe.
And in order to make up for the deficit in the treasury, the king of Brunei needed to sell the property of his brother Jeffrey, and it was because of this property auction that everyone realized how amazing Jeffrey's property was, because the list on the auction catalog alone was more than 60 pages.
There are more than 2,000 luxury cars, and there are countless jewelry luxury goods, which makes people have to sigh, this may be the world's largest auction at that time.
The king's younger brother, the Prince of Brunei, spends $5 million a day, and the beauties around him are ten times more beautiful than his brother.
Although his brother was king, he was not the richest man in the whole country, but his younger brother, because his brother was too hard at his defeat, he had to be arrested and taken to court.
Once in brunei King Haji's 50th birthday celebration, invited the then international superstar Michael Jackson, Jeffrey looked very envious, so he also invited Michael Jackson to help on his birthday, according to statistics, all kinds of expenses added up, a total of 17 million US dollars.
His more than 600 mansions around the world are distributed in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London and other international cities, and he can witness his luxurious life everywhere in the world.
One of his mansions in London is worth $800 million, and one of his collections is worth $1.3 million.
Generally speaking, the king does not marry too many wives, but he has more than 40 beautiful women, of which the unknown may be much more, Jeffrey is only a prince but he has far exceeded the king's specifications.
Jeffrey was the youngest of the many brothers in brunei's royal family and was pampered from an early age. When he grew up, his brother inherited the throne, and he became a prince, and he did not covet the throne too much, but had a high pursuit of money and enjoyment.
His brother trusted him and gave jeffrey the position of finance minister who controlled Brunei's wealth, and since his brother was not interested in power, he could live a little more luxuriously, which was his compensation.
But what he didn't expect was that Jeffrey's ability to spend money far exceeded his expectations, and even Jeffrey was later in a catastrophe.
Do you know? Today, there are still 14 absolute monarchies, and Brunei is one of them.
There was a prince in Brunei who embezzled 16 billion yuan and was wanted and had to run to flee, but he was eventually arrested. He usually lives like the world's richest man, spending $5 million a day, and taking money is not taken seriously.
Of the 40 beauties in Jeffrey's private palace, if he didn't like any of them that day, he would let her get a facelift until Jeffrey was satisfied, and instead he would banish her from the palace. In addition to receiving luxury goods and jewelry, these beauties usually have a salary.
This treatment may seem good, but it is not, because in addition to serving Jeffrey, they also have to receive guests from the palace.
At one point, Jeffrey took a fancy to an American model who he tried to imprison inside a palace.
But this matter was exposed, and all of a sudden Jeffrey became the target of public criticism, if it were not for his noble status, he might still be in prison.
After the King of Brunei discovered that his brother Jeffrey had committed a $16 billion corruption, the reputation of the royal family that the King had painstakingly managed suddenly became very poor and disgraceful. As a result, his brother fled to Europe on his own, leaving the mess to his brother.
At the time in Brunei, his brother issued a wanted arrest for Jeffrey and even took him to court.
But the two of them are brothers after all, and perhaps the ostensible wanted is just an explanation to the public.
So in 2009, the king allowed the man who had embezzled 16 billion yuan from the national treasury to return home, and not surprisingly Jeffrey did not go to jail, but only limited his daily expenses.
