Holding power since the 19th century, the Dubai Royal family has a fortune worth billions of dollars. The emir and the crown prince are the two most famous members for their luxurious and noble lifestyle.

The Royal Family of Dubai is one of the six ruling families in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Al Maktoum family has ruled Dubai from 1833 to the present. With 12 main members and hundreds of other close relatives, the Dubai Royal Family is estimated to hold a fortune of $ 19 billion, among the richest royals in the world. Photo: Gulf News.

The richest person in this family is Emir Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (born 1949). He is the head of the Royal Family of Dubai, and also holds the position of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE. The emir ascended the throne in 2006 after the death of his brother. Photo: Uaezoom.

The emir controls Dubai Holdings, which owns luxury real estate in Europe. The emir is considered to be the one who brought Dubai into a world-class metropolis with the construction of many iconic buildings for the city such as artificial islands, 5-star airlines, and 7-star hotels. In addition, he is also famous for being a generous person when he has donated billions of dollars to charity activities.

The emir is said to have at least 6 wives and once spent up to 100 million USD to organize his first wedding. At the age of 71, the rich head of the royal family in Dubai still maintains a hobby of horse racing, a familiar activity of the nobility. He often participates in horse racing events in England and has a good relationship with the Queen of England.

The emir owns hundreds of super cars and the world’s third largest yacht called Dubai, priced at $ 400 million, is 162 m long and can serve 115 guests at the same time. 

The lavish lifestyle of the Dubai Royal Family is most revealed through the images that Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan (aka Fazza), the second son of the emir, posted on his personal page. Fazza is one of the famous royal members in Asia thanks to his masculine, elegant appearance and tall physique.
