Can you believe it? An unknown small country, the king owns nearly 10,000 luxury cars, and there are specialized luxury car caregivers,
Toilets are made of pure gold?
When it comes to Brunei, I believe that there are many people who have only heard about it but do not understand it, and some people do not even know that it is actually a country. Brunei has an area of only 5,765 square kilometers and a population of only about 450,000, so when you look at the map, you may need to look at it for a long time to find this small country in Southeast Asia. However, in such an unknown small country, there is a rich king, he amassed 250 billion yuan, sitting on 7,000 luxury cars, when his son married his wife, he also arranged a Rolls-Royce full of gold, even the toilet he used was pure gold, and his life was extremely luxurious. How rich is he?
After tea and dinner to see lao you, the world is interesting to say endlessly, welcome to pay attention to my channel.
Before 1929, Brunei was not a rich country, and like the smaller countries around it, it suffered from the crises of war from time to time. As a coastal country, Brunei's territorial waters are much larger than the land area, and it is even more fortunate that "black gold" - oil - has been found in this sea area belonging to Brunei.
With the discovery of oil reserves of 1.3 billion tons and 30 million cubic meters of natural gas, Brunei began to shift its economic focus from handicrafts to oil exports. By the late twentieth century, 96 percent of Brunei's annual GDP was earned by exporting oil, and this year, international oil prices rose wildly, and even the price of mainland oil ushered in ten consecutive increases.
Relying on oil and natural gas, this small country has not only achieved economic freedom, but also achieved full coverage of domestic medical and educational resources, and even gave birth to a rich and invincible royal family, that is, the Brunei royal family. So how proud is the Brunei royal family? In the face of such a luxurious royal family, the people of Brunei have no complaints?
Although Brunei's land area is not large, the royal palace is 200,000 square meters, several times larger than the Queen's Buckingham Palace, in this huge palace, what a helicopter airport, swimming pool, racecourse, etc., and even a zoo. Here, everything in gold is made of pure gold, the dome of the mosque alone uses about 60 pounds of gold, and even the bathtub and toilet in the bathroom are made of pure gold.
In the palace, you can achieve a one-stop experience of eating, drinking and entertainment, it is simply that you can't think of it, there is no palace that can not be done, in 1967, the current King of Brunei Borkia ascended to the throne, by 1997, Bolkiah's personal assets have reached 35 billion US dollars, once appeared in Fortune magazine, and occupied the first place, was recognized as the world's richest man at that time. Although he was later surpassed by Bill Gates, all his assets were still able to occupy a place in the world's richest list.
Borkia also has a hobby, that is, to collect luxury cars, in Borkia's view, collecting luxury cars is the same as collecting stamps, under his palace, there are more than a hundred luxury garages. At present, there are more than 7,000 luxury cars in the garage, including rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other well-known manufacturers of limited edition sports cars, each of which is worth a lot, is what ordinary people dare not think, among many sports cars, Borkia's favorite is Rolls-Royce, one of the golden Rolls-Royce, in order not to let these luxury cars fall to ashes, Borkia also hired a group of luxury car caregivers, responsible for taking care of his luxury cars every day, but also regularly drive out for a ride, like walking a dog.
Seeing the friends you may have here, you will be curious, as the king is so extravagant and wasteful, the people of Brunei do not have a single complaint? In fact, the people of Brunei not only did not complain, but they all loved the king, the main reason is that Borkia single-handedly supported 460,000 people in the country, as long as it is his people, a lifetime of food, clothing, shelter and transportation are almost free, if you encounter any difficult diseases, in Brunei is not good, the Brunei government will also pay you to go abroad to see a doctor, all the expenses incurred during this period are reimbursed by the state.
In addition to medical care, Brunei is also very generous in education, as long as the people of Brunei, from kindergarten to university are free, if you are admitted to a foreign university, the Brunei government will also give you a monthly study abroad grant of 8,000 US dollars. The problems of medical care and education have been solved, and some people may still say, what about the house? First of all, the house price in Brunei is very cheap, as long as one million can buy a small villa. It doesn't matter if you don't have a million, the Brunei government can accept all installments, and it's all interest-free, even if you have the money and don't want to installments, the Brunei government will also give every Brunei citizen a set of public housing.
After solving the three major problems of medical care, education and housing, no matter how extravagant and wasteful Borkia is, what complaints will the people have!
Borkia has a total of three wives, the first wife is named Salah, when Salah was 19 years old, the two people were married under the mediation of the elders of the royal family, because it was promoted by the elders, so the marriage of the two was very stable, Borkia also built several crowns for Salah, each of which was very luxurious.
After the marriage, Salah bore bore Bolkiya a total of six children, and their eldest son, Bira, is now the Prince of Brunei, and if nothing else, he is about to become the next King of Brunei. However, Bolkia and Salah's marriage was after all an elderly match, and Bolkiah's feelings for Salah were mostly affectionate, and when Bolkiah was 35 years old, he finally met his true love, a flight attendant named Miriam.
Miriam, who works for Royal Air in Brunei, accidentally met Bolkiah on a job trip, and the two soon entered the halls of marriage. Brunei practised polygamy, so borgia had no problem taking another wife, and Empress Salah did not object. After marriage, Miriam gave birth to two boys and two daughters for Borkia, and the married life was very happy. But just 22 years after Borchia and Miriam were married, Bolkiah suddenly publicly announced his divorce.
After the divorce, Brunei folk began to circulate a poignant love story: the civilian flight attendant fell in love with the king, and after successfully joining the palace, she found that the palace wall was an extremely boring cage, so the flight attendant began to travel around the world in the name of work, and finally fell in love with others, and the king had to bear to let her go. We don't know the truth of the story, but Borchia's feelings for Miriam are visible to everyone, and borgia still hires a group of bodyguards and staff for her even though Miriam is no longer a member of the royal family.
After divorcing Miriam, Borkia was attracted to a female reporter from a TELEVISION station, the female reporter named Yazlina, when she met Borkia, Yazlina was only 26 years old, but Borkia was 59 years old, the difference between the two was 33 years, perhaps worried that the age difference was too big to the royal reputation, Bolkia and Yazlina's wedding was not as big as before, but invited some close friends, held a low-key and simple wedding. Shortly after the marriage, Yazlina bore Borkia two children, but their marriage lasted only five years, and five years later, Borchia announced her divorce again, and like Miriam, Borchia also stripped Yazlina of her royal title, but also gave her a large sum of money, enough to ensure that she had enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Some friends believe that Bolkiah's life is so extravagant and three wives and four concubines, which is no longer the performance of a good king, but Brunei is not a monogamous country after all, in Brunei's law, a man can have up to four wives, as long as he can take care of every wife, he is already a good husband. Borchia's three relationships allowed him to have twelve children, and even though their mothers were different, Borchia could treat them equally.
It is undeniable that Borkia's life is undoubtedly very lucky, not only was born into the royal family, but his country also has such a large oil field, but in fact, such a good life is not long-term, nature's resources are limited, oil will one day be sold out, if Brunei can not find a long-term development path, it is not far from sitting on the mountain and eating the sky. After reading it, many friends said that they want to immigrate to Brunei, do you think Bolkiah is a good king? Welcome to leave a comment, and finally don't forget to give Lao You a thumbs up!
