The Sultan's investment portfolio stands at $1.1 billion.

New Delhi: At 65, Johor Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar is set to ascend the throne in Malaysia, bringing with him a wealth estimated at a staggering $5.7 billion and an empire that extends far beyond the boundaries of his country.

Sultan Ibrahim's realm encompasses an array of ventures, from real estate and mining to telecommunications and palm oil. The opulent Istana Bukit Serene, his official residence, is a testament to his family's wealth. The ruler's collection of over 300 luxury cars, including one purportedly gifted by Adolf Hitler, is housed on the grounds, while a fleet of private jets, including a gold-and-blue Boeing 737, sits nearby. His family also owns a private army.

A Glimpse Into The Sultan's Wealth

While the estimated family fortune is pegged at $5.7 billion by Bloomberg, the true extent of Sultan Ibrahim's wealth is believed to be much beyond that. His holdings include a 24% stake in U Mobile, one of Malaysia's major cell service providers, with additional investments in private and public companies totaling $588 million.

He also owns $4 billion worth of land in Singapore, including Tyersall Park, an expansive area adjacent to the Botanic Gardens.

The Sultan's investment portfolio stands at $1.1 billion, thanks to substantial cash flow from share and real estate transactions.

The Sultan's Global Footprint

As Sultan Ibrahim prepares to officially assume the throne today, his role, though largely ceremonial, assumes significance in Malaysia's evolving political landscape. Unlike his predecessors, Sultan Ibrahim exhibits a unique blend of flamboyance and outspokenness.

His close ties with Singapore's leadership and business associations with prominent Chinese developers position him to exert considerable influence on both domestic and foreign policy.

Sultan Ibrahim's influence extends beyond his wealth to impact the economic landscape of Malaysia. A gatekeeper for business opportunities, particularly for the Malay community, he has played a pivotal role in major projects through joint ventures with Chinese tycoons.

His business interests and alliances with Chinese investors, coupled with a special relationship with Singapore's leaders, position him as a key player in the regional economic landscape.

Rest assured, there will be many. Mentally weak women are often attracted to power, in the usual foolish hope that they may become Queen one day.

Unfortunately, for an Alpha male that Sultan Ibrahim is, he DOES have PRIORITIES in life & NOT just sexual activities alone, unlike male dreamers whom daydream daily of an easy life with their smaller heads.

It is NEVER easy to be Number 1. He has to prove that he is capable to sit on the throne even in Johore, let alone Malaysia, amongst many more whom are equally born of royalty & doing their best to prove their worth, to the People, to the govt & to the then reigning King.

It is NOT by birth that entitles him to the throne, but by abilities & responsibilities. There is no doubt wealth within the Johore Royalty, but not many would be able to progress wealth as well as ideals to be suited for leadership. Some just simply grow lazy or foolish, but not Sultan Ibrahim.

Singapore & the mere insignificant nobody me congratulates him on his ascension to the Peninsula Malaysian throne & wish him well, & hope to see further economic & social ties strengthen & grow that would see mutual benefits to both, & with such success, be replicated to bring prosperity & progress to both Nations.

It will not be an easy journey as each will have issues as well as Free Will, but as long as the relationship of both is mutually beneficial to the Rakyat of both Nations, it is foreseeable that a promising future awaits all...

Sadly, the same relationship between USA & Saudi Arabia cannot be said for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, thanks to the foolish & naive liberal Democrats whom sought to criminalize the Crown Prince upon the supposed murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident journalist with ties to Persia Iran, BASED upon liberal perceptions of American laws.

Those naive liberals did not realize that Saudi Arabia is NOT USA, but a sovereign nation on its own with its own interpretations of laws & judicial systems, just as how intelligent US State Dept handled deep relations with King Ibn Saud, the 1st King of modern Saudi Arabia.

And thus the antagonism by the Crown Prince towards USA, held in his heart, as he too is only a Human...flaws & all...but with RESPONSIBILITIES to his father, the King, & to the Kingdom. May ties between USA & Saudi Arabia rulers mend...

Just like the Thai King who owns $60 billion of the country's money as his own money.

Or Brunei Sultan who owns Sg$40 billion of the country's money as his own money.

All the malaysia sultans' ancestors were pirates.

Yes indeed! Royalties leech off their people and their country's resources. Glad you saw my sarcasm!

Shameless Setan of Johor competes economically with the peasants.

No guesses who will win.
