How rich is the small country of Brunei? Almost everyone has a car and medical treatment is free. The king has 7,000 cars. Where does the money come from?

We often say that money can make all the difference. Today’s young people believe that money cannot buy love and youth. Once there is really no money, life will be really difficult. When it comes to having money, As a country of money, Brunei is mentioned here.

The small country of Brunei

When it comes to Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand...most people in these countries can talk about it; but when it comes to Brunei, people often get confused. I'm speechless and can't give an idea. In Southeast Asia, the country of Brunei has always been a mysterious existence.

This country has a population of only 459,500 and a total area of ??5,765 square kilometers. It is called a "pocket country". Some people ask: Why is Brunei so rich in a small country with few people?

First of all, Brunei’s GDP ranks first in Asia. Brunei’s economy mainly comes from natural resources and tourism. Brunei is rich in crude oil and natural gas resources, and more than half of its forest reserves are virgin. The forest is home to various famous trees and rare animals, the most famous of which is the butterfly. But its other industries are underdeveloped, such as fishery, forestry, etc., and its demand in many aspects depends on imports. Even so, it is still rich in "flowing oil."

If you go to Brunei, you will feel like walking into a royal palace, because it is golden everywhere, even the faucets are golden. Some people joke that this country is really beautiful. I like Tuhao Jin. Brunei's architecture gives people a feeling of a mythical Arabian Nights.

In such a monarchy country, the Brunei government’s policies to benefit the people are really not very good. The education level of Brunei residents is generally high. For example, China’s nine-year compulsory education, Brunei There are 11 years of basic national education. In Brunei, as long as you reach adulthood, you will have a car of your own. It can be said that except for underage children, almost everyone has a car.

It doesn’t cost much money to get medical treatment there. Even if you have a serious illness and need to go to another country for treatment, there will be subsidies, and the government will bear all the expenses on the way there.

The most important thing is that Brunei is a tax-free country. There is no personal income tax, industrial and commercial tax, export tax and other taxes. There are only "symbolic tax collections" by some companies, which is also a wealthy country. A symbol.

As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there are records about the Bruneians. A Bruneian believer came to China. It is said that his crown was made of diamonds and was more than a foot high. The mat was made of silver. In subsequent historical periods, Bruneians also visited China many times and were generous in giving gifts. Brunei has a very interesting custom, that is, drinking is not allowed, so there is not a single bar in the country!

The Wayward King

The residents living here are very wealthy, so one can imagine the wealth of the King of Brunei. Most people are asked, who do you think is the richest king? Most people will say Elizabeth, but King Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei is the "eldest brother", although his wealth is not as rich as Bill Gates.

Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaura is the 29th Sultan of Brunei. The Sultan of Brunei means the king until the independence of Brunei. Later, Hassanal Bolkiah became prime minister, and his life went smoothly.

Study at the British Military Academy and was awarded the rank of captain. Later, he returned to China for his coronation and interrupted his studies. He concurrently serves as Brunei's Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Minister of Finance, integrating power into one body. Sannar Bolkiah had three wives, each of whom was noble and beautiful.

The first one was his cousin Princess Salena, but she was not the one she loved, but her parents ordered a matchmaker to marry her and gave birth to Crown Prince Bira. The second wife was flight attendant Mariam, a mixed-race and charming woman. The two met on the plane and quickly confirmed their relationship. Mariam was naturally named the princess. The third wife was a 26-year-old Malaysian beauty journalist Azrinas, Hassanal Bolkiah was nearly fifty years old at that time.

Luxurious life

Hassanal Bolkiah is a person who can both make and spend money, and he is also a very willful person, especially when it comes to spending money. He has his own opinions when it comes to money. Hassanal Bolkiah often exercised, and even in his sixtieth year, he attended various occasions with a bright and radiant look. It is said that one time he met someone to play polo, and he was careless and forgot to bring his sneakers, so he immediately made a pair , rushed to make it, and then transported it to the stadium by helicopter. Such arrogance is not something ordinary people can have.

Hassanal Bolkiah has extended a helping hand to many countries. For example, he loaned $5 billion to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to help Britain survive a paper currency crisis. Leaders of other countries also saw the king's "generosity", so they took the opportunity to take advantage. The media jokingly called Hassanal Bolkiah's "cheque diplomacy."

Hassanal Bolkiah has various aircraft pilot's licenses. His private airport is parked with Boeing 737s, large passenger aircraft, and the latest Boeing series. There are probably hundreds of aircraft in total. .

The luxurious wedding of Hassanal Bolkiah’s son Prince Abdulmali attracted the attention of major media. The bride’s wedding dress was sparkling with gold and she brought a dove-sized wedding dress. Emeralds are even more envy-inducing to others. What’s even more exaggerated is that the bouquet in the bride’s hand is inlaid with gems, making the whole wedding dazzling.

On Hassanal Bolkiah’s daughter’s birthday, he paid a high price to invite her daughter’s favorite stars to perform for her. Hassanal Bolkiah is also a fan of luxury cars and sports cars, including more than 600 Lamborghinis, and more than 7,000 luxury cars such as Ferrari, Maserati and BMW. Someone has calculated that even if he drives one every day, it will take him 20 years to drive it all. He also ordered his sports car to be inlaid with 24K gold. You can imagine a car that looks like a gold brick driving on the road. ? Ordinary people can only imagine this kind of life, but it is the daily life of Hassanal Bolkiah's family.

That was Michael Jackson, an idol in the hearts of many people. Hassanal Bolkiah, who was already 73 years old at the time, was also a fan of Michael Jackson. He once "spent money to chase stars" and paid high prices to hire Michael Jackson came to Brunei to sing, and even built a concert hall specifically for his idol. Even the speakers were made of gold. The life of this king of the "Pocket Country" is simply cool.

After reading this king’s luxurious life, do you have a different view on money and wealthy people? Hassanal Bolkiah used practical actions to prove to the world that money is everything. of. But nowadays, in people’s values, they seem to be more accepting of the sentence “Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.” Therefore, although money is good, there are also things that money cannot buy.
