Inside Sultan of Brunei’s Lavish Palace

The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, is renowned for his immense wealth and extravagant lifestyle. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Brunei’s ‘Istana Nurul Iman,’ the world’s largest palace, it highlights the Sultan’s opulent way of life. Spanning 2 million square feet, this palace boasts 1,700 rooms and a stunning 22-carat gold dome.

Brunei, smaller than Indian states like Sikkim, is strategically located on the island of Borneo. Despite its size, Brunei’s Sultan has repeatedly grabbed attention for his immense wealth, mostly derived from the country’s rich oil and natural gas reserves. With a reported net worth of $30 billion, Sultan Bolkiah is the second-longest reigning monarch after the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II.

His private car collection, valued at $5 billion, is among the world’s most expensive. This collection includes a gold-coated Rolls Royce, approximately 450 Ferraris, and 380 Bentleys. Some rare pieces include the Lamborghini Urraco, Ferrari 456 GT Venice, and Porsche 959, stored in one of his 200 garages.

Sultan Bolkiah’s luxury extends beyond cars. He regularly spends $20,000 flying his personal barber from London to Brunei for grooming sessions. His fleet of private jets includes a gold-plated Boeing 747-400, known as the “flying palace,” which features lavish interiors with gold-plated details and chandeliers embellished with Lalique crystals.

Istana Nurul Iman, recognized as the world’s largest palace by the Guinness Book of World Records, takes luxury to another level. The palace includes 250 bathrooms, five swimming pools, and each room is fitted with gold wash basins. Bolkiah’s interests also extend to horses, with specially constructed air-conditioned stables, and he even owns a private zoo housing 30 tigers and exotic birds.

The Sultan’s wealth and lifestyle are a testament to the vast resources of Brunei and his personal tastes in luxury and opulence.
