Both the Sultan and the Prime Minister of Brunei, Bolkiah was also, at one point, the world's wealthiest person. In 2008, he had a net worth of approximately twenty billion United States dollars.
Before Fame
Prior to his 1967 coronation as Sultan, he studied at England's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
Trivia
- He was the leader of Brunei in 1984, when the sovereign state was admitted to the United Nations. Before leading by a more democratic model, he instituted a system of governance in which the Sultan was responsible for defending the Islamic faith.
Family Life
With his three wives -- Hajah Mariam, Pengiran Anak Saleha, and Azrinaz Mazhar Hakim -- he fathered numerous children (twelve between the years 1969 and 2012). His father, Omar Ali Saifuddien III, was the 28th Sultan of Brunei.
