Forbes magazine once again browsed the monarchs' bank accounts, and you can see the latest ranking of the ten richest members of blue blood below. Although many of the obscenely wealthy rulers are sitting on oil and other natural resources and their fortunes are constantly changing, most maintain their positions relative to years past. And although monarchs in Europe no longer have the same influence as, for example, in Arab countries, as they are surviving political figures, many are still basking in wealth.
For quite some time now, yes European monarchies they are no longer among the richest in the world. Queen Elizabeth II this year, despite the fact that her assets increased by 10 million pounds, she dropped out of the list of the 300 richest Britons. Nevertheless, she has no reason to fear that she will soon end up on the beggar's pole, because she has just under her thumb 340 million pounds (500 million US dollars), which is a pittance compared to the richest monarch in the world, to the king of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej. The richest European monarch is the Prince of Lichtenstein Hans-Adam II.
