King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud

King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia is also extremely wealthy, ranking third on this list.

He is King Abdulaziz's 25th son and the sixth of his sons to rule as kings (the others were Saud, Faisal, Khalid, Fahd, and Abdullah).

Salman is a Sudairi Seven member and the son of King Abdulaziz and Hassa bint Ahmed Al Sudairi. From 1963 until 2011, he served as Riyadh's deputy governor and then as its governor for 48 years. He was then appointed Defense Minister. In 2012, he was appointed Crown Prince. After his half-brother, King Abdullah, died in 2015, Salman ascended to the throne. He has become King Abdulaziz's oldest surviving son since December 2019.

If his familial wealth is taken into account, the Saud Family of Saudi Arabia is the wealthiest family in the world, with a fortune of more than $1 trillion. This family is very discreet about their riches and goods, aside from the income he and his family generate from oil and investments. But we all know they have some of the most costly homes, automobiles, yachts, helicopters, private aircraft, artworks, and other possessions.
