Bhumibol Adulyadej (December 5, 1927 – October 13, 2016) was Thailand's ninth king, designated Rama IX, and was given the title King Bhumibol the Great in 1987 (formally awarded by King Vajiralongkorn in 2019). He was the world's longest-reigning current head of state from the death of Emperor Hirohito of Japan in 1989 until his own death in 2016, and he reigned for 70 years and 126 days, making him the second-longest reigning monarch for which specific dates are available. He was serviced by 30 prime ministers during his tenure, starting with Pridi Banomyong and ending with Prayut Chan-o-cha.

The royal household's and the Crown Property Bureau's (CPB) post-devaluation fortune is estimated to be worth between $10 and $20 billion. Forbes issued its 2008 edition of The World's Richest Royals in August 2008, and King Bhumibol was placed first, with a net worth of US$35 billion. A few days later, Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement claiming that the Forbes story wrongly confused the CPB's and Bhumibol's fortune. The Thai government's complaints were noted in the 2009 Forbes list, but Forbes defended the inclusion of the CPB's holdings by claiming that the bureau is accountable for the Crown's property and interests. Due to decreases in real estate and equities, the 2009 estimate was cut to US$30 billion, and this amount was also reported in April 2014 by Business Spectator, which also verified that the CPB is the entity in charge of the Crown's wealth management.

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who served as the United States' 45th president from 2017 to 2021.

Trump earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in 1968. In 1971, he took over as president of his father Fred Trump's real estate company, renaming it The Trump Organization. Trump extended his business to include the construction and renovation of buildings, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Later, he began side businesses, largely by licensing his name. He co-produced and hosted the reality television series The Apprentice from 2004 to 2015. More than 4,000 state and federal court proceedings have been filed against Trump and his enterprises, including six bankruptcies.

Populist, protectionist, isolationist, and nationalist have all been used to define Trump's political stances. He defeated Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election as the Republican nominee, although losing the popular vote, and became the first president of the United States with no prior military or government experience. Protests erupted in response to his election and policies. The special counsel investigation undertaken by Robert Mueller from 2017 to 2019 found that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help the Trump campaign, but not that Trump campaign members collaborated or coordinated with Russia.

Donald Trump has a net worth of $3 billion, which includes $960 million in New York City real estate, $730 million in golf clubs and resorts, $480 million in social media and brand enterprises, $450 million in cash and personal assets, and $340 million in non-New York City real estate.
