How to blow $30 billion dollars
This billionaire had an estimated fortune of $40 billion, which once placed him at the top of Fortune magazine’s list of the world’s richest people. Recent reports, however, suggest that his treasure has dwindled to a only $10 billion due to his lavish spending and bad land deals. How do you blow $30 billion which is roughly equivalent to the entire annual income of all 125 million people living in Bangladesh?
Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah, Sultan and Prime Minister of Brunei inherited a personal fortune estimated at $40 billion from his father. Here’s how he managed to blow three quarters of the largest fortune in the history of the world.
A large chunk of it went on the Sultan’s palace, monstrosity that boasts 1,788 rooms and is larger than the Vatican-in a tiny country with just 300,000 inhabitants. When the Sultan’s daughter turned 18 he bought her an Airbus. For himself he prefers his own jumbo jet, originally designed to carry over 400 people.
Great skill in extravagance has also been acquired by his brother, Prince Jefri. Having heard of Disneyland, he decided to build the Jerudong Park Playground in the capital, Bandar-Seri Begawan, at a cost of $1 billion.
an astonishing court case this week revealed the extent of the Sultan’s financial excesses.
The 50-page list of payments – which totals 40 billion dollars – also reveals that over four years nearly 8 billion dollars of state funds was paid into his account to bankroll his lifestyle. That’s more than oil-rich Brunei’s entire GDP.
But what a lifestyle. He is believed to own a fleet of 5,000 luxury and sports cars and his own private Boeing 747-400 worth 230 million dollars.
He shares a 1,788-room palace with Queen Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleh, who he married in 1965, and HRH Pengiran Isteri Azrinaz Mazhar, 29, who he married in 2005. The family also has lavish homes in London, Los Angeles, New York and Paris.
Details of the father of eleven’s finances have become public thanks to the most expensive family feud in legal history.
The Sultan, who has ruled as absolute monarch for 40 years, and his brother have been embroiled in a legal battle for 10 years. Lawyers’ bills alone stretch to 200 million dollars.
The Sultan claims his younger brother siphoned off 16 billion dollars during 13 years as finance minister and is now claiming the prince has failed to repay the 6 billion which was agreed in an out-of-court settlement back in 2000.
Here is a list of how the world’s richest man spends his cash
PALACE
The Istana Nurul Iman palace is the largest of the Sultan’s properties which also include a six-star hotel, climate controlled stables for his 200 polo ponies, five aircraft hangars to house his 5,000 cars.
Although the palace is hidden from public view through artful landscaping, satellite views provided by programs such as Google Earth, have increased the public knowledge of the palace’s layout. Such images have relayed the existence of two large buildings in the center of the palace and five smaller buildings either adjacent to or nearby the palace center.
Istana Nurul Iman contains 1,788 rooms, 257 bathrooms, and a floor area of 2,152,782 square feet (200,000 m²). Amenities include 5 swimming pools, and an air conditioned stable for the Sultan’s 200 polo ponies, a 110-car garage, a banquet hall that can be expanded to accommodate up to 4,000 guests, and a mosque accommodating 1,500 people. The palace was built in 1984 at a cost of around $1.4 billion USD and has 564 chandeliers, 51,000 light bulbs, 44 stairwells, and 18 elevators. It is also a home to a car collection that includes custom-made Ferraris and Bentleys as well as 165 Rolls Royces. Its golden domes, designed by Filipino architect Leandro V. Locsin, and vaulted roofs echo Islamic and Malay architectural influences.
Istana Nurul Iman: 2,152,782 square feet
The Royal Palace of Madrid: 1,453,122 square feet [4]
Buckingham Palace: 828,818 square feet (77,000 m²) [5]
The Palace of Versailles: 551,218 square feet (51,210 m²) [6]
Windsor Castle: 484,374 square feet (45,000 m²) [7]
Rashtrapati Bhavan: 200,000 square feet (20,000 m²)
The Biltmore Estate: 175,000 square feet (16,300 m²)
The White House: 55,000 square feet (5,100 m²)
THEME PARK
Jerudong Park is an amusement park in Brunei. It is the largest and most expensive amusement park in South East Asia, built and funded by the rich Bruneian government for $1 billion.
It is notable that during its first few years of operation, Jerudong Park featured no admission fees and free rides, and is currently larger than the current phase 1, Hong Kong Disneyland. The public had only to queue up for rides. However recently, the number of visitors and tourists have dropped significantly and the administration has started a one time BN$15 admission fee, and allride ticketing systems. According to the park’s website, many of its rides are for sale.
As of August 2006, Jerudong Park was largely inactive, derelict, and even tending to ruin in places. The park remained open to visitors, but remains virtually empty probably because the vast majority of the rides, including all the major roller coasters, are closed. The log flume remains open, along with a few smaller fairground attractions, and a single kart is available on the go-kart track. Parts of the park are now unlit, yet remain accessible to visitors, creating a strange ghost-town atmosphere. It seems probable that as more park equipment fails and is not maintained the last few attractions will slowly close.
The Board of Directors of the park promise they will invest in new rides within the next three years, after completely selling the rides.
Here are the rides for sale:

WIVES
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei married former TV3 (Malaysia) newscaster Azrinaz Mazhar Hakim at a private ceremony attended by family members and close friends at the Brunei Palace in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The marriage was a heavily guarded secret and was only leaked very much later to the press by one of the guests.She became the second wife of the king.The first one still remains.
Azrinaz, who is fondly known as Naz, started work as a broadcast journalist with Malaysian television channel TV3 (Malaysia) in 1997. She won TV3’s “Most Promising Journalist” award in 2000 and received the MIIM Alumni Award in 2002.
HOUSEHOLD STAFF
$3.5 million to masseuses, acupuncturists
$28 million on housekeeping and maintaining his homes
$3.2 million to badminton coach
$11 million to each of his five PR officers
$96,000 to guard his exotic birdcages
An unknown fortune is also rumored to have been spent on escorts including playboy bunnies and models who are known to have visited the palaces of the sultan and his brother.
LUXURY CARS
531 Mercedes
367 Ferraris
362 Bentleys
185 BMWs
177 Jaguars
160 Porsches
130 Rolls-Royces
20 Lamborghinis
Here is an unverified full list of his cars, complete with vin numbers.
OTHER TRANSPORT
Two Boeings, including a 747-400 jumbo jet, one Airbus, six smaller planes, two helicopters (ANI)
This Airbus 340 aircraft was “remodeled” in Waco. The sinks are solid gold and one of them is Lalique crystal. The Sultan bought the aircraft for roughly $100M; had it flown to Waco, brand-new, had the interior completely removed; and had the folks at E-Systems (now Raytheon) install $120M worth of improvements inside and outside.
This version of the Airbus A340 was ordered by the Sultan of Brunei requesting for a non-stop range of 8,000 nautical miles (14820 km). This A340-8000 had an increased fuel capacity, a MTOW of 275 tonnes similar to the A340-300, and minor reinforcements to the undercarriage. Upon completion its final range was specified at 8,100 nautical miles (15,000 km). It is powered by the 34,000 lbf (151 kN) thrust CFMI CFM56-5C4s similar to the -300E

Well
At least I would asume he has had some good times with all of the $.
I was once told that it was inposible to spend 25 Billion $ in a life time.
That is IF you were limited to not purchasing companies and real estate.
But if you wre to shop for cars and cloths and and airplanes etc. that even with jets you would not be able to spend the $ as fast as interest on the $ would be comming in based on a rate of 5.5%. I once got 65K and had beeen homeless before that. IT took me almost a year to spend 42K of the 65 K
(I know it was a dumb thing to do) but when you had done without and on the street and were neededing even basic necesityis and wathing folks listen to music and have a life it was hard not to at least have TVs and closths and pots and pans and tables and a car (not extravagant at all on the car) and a motrocycle (Also not extravagant) but you acctualy kind of
need these things or life is not worth living if you have had zip. I had gone form no $ to take a girl to dinner and was afraid to aproach a girl as I had nothing to offer.
Now i do own 4 corporations and am doing well and sued the federal government for puting me in the situation I was in that caused me to be homeless. So I did blow away a lot of $ i should have invested but then again had I done that I am not sure that in the time it would have taken to get me up to at least some standard of living to where I could at least
apear to be a profesional (I started a shipping cleark and moved up the ladder from there) (Decided to prove I would be the best shipping cleack
any company ever had so as to get attention and move up in the company.
Learned how companies worked and found I could sell after purchasing a set of tapes and books on sales. From there I worked my way up.
Not a millinair but close.
But would it not be nice to have about 5 million in the a portfolio and be able to not have to worry about $ for living the rest of your life.
I no longer purchase things unless I need them with only a few execptions.
However when I see a person like this Sultan I am somewhat pissed off.
He did not need these things to put himself into a better situation so the $ were just wasted. At least I suppose it did have a positive effect on the local economy and that would be a good thing but for all his spending
He is in a lawsuite with his brother. What kind of BS is that. So his life must not realy be that happy. Not realy.

.RESPECTFULLY YOURS
MR. T. CHUKWU
Mr. T. Chukwu, I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for your information! I sent you 19 emails so far but have not heard back from you. Let’s make this a quick process, you tell me where I should send my deposit and I’ll be sure to expedite it immediately!
Okay, so, let’s see here…
If you got forty billion dollars, let’s just say you put it in a bank that had a 0.01%(one one-hundredth of one percent)(most banks have a much higher rate) interest rate, JUST FROM INTEREST, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE FORTY BILLION DOLLARS, YOU WOULD MAKE:
Yearly: $4,000,000.00 (four million dollars)
which means…
Monthly: $333,333.00 (over three hundred thousand dollars a month)
Weekly: $76,712.33
DAILY: $10,958.90
Ten thousand dollars a day, just from interest?? If this guy had half a brain he’d realize that he could live like a rich tycoon without doing a damn thing for the rest of his life and without TOUCHING his forty billion dollars. Oh, and any amount of that yearly interest that he doesn’t spend, just adds up and increases his yearly earnings even more for doing nothing.
I mean, c’mon, man…
Just to clarify, I know that you said it to make a point but for anyone who’s not so economically savvy 0.01% is ridiculous, realistically he could earn say, 5% on his money (fairly average interest). Lets convert those figures to what he may have really earned:
40,000,000,000 * 0.05 (5% of 40,000,000) = Monthly
2,000,000,000 / 12 = Monthly
166,666,666 / 4 = Weekly
166,666,666 / 30 = Daily
Yearly:$2,000,000,000 (2 billion) per year.
Monthly: $ 166,666,666 (166.6 million) per year
Weekly: $41,666,666 (41.6 million) per week
Daily: $5,555,555 (5.5 million) per day.
Try spending $5.5 million in a day and let me know how you go…
Very soon the country will go bankrupt when petroleum is depleted and the families become extended.
hello ,sorry that is not a comment but i realy don t know what to say because evrynight i have a dream that i am in a meeting with the sultan i realy love his life how he made him self and how he help i would love to meet him or to visite his country

wow!
I have a wife and four children. I work very hard for our money. My wife and children are very happy with what we have. Why do all of you ridicule people that have more than you? Are you jelouse of someone with alot of money? Money doesn’t buy happyness!!!!
It is rather better for him to spend his wealth on the Bruneian … Now, we are experiencing higher rate of unemployment … if compare to the number of population …
Matt, it looks like money doesn’t buy the ability to spell along with not being able to buy “happyness”.
Jealousy is a sad thing. It makes one see only through bitter eyes. One eyed in fact. The Sultan does wonderful things for his country.
How about mentioning that he subsidizes education to the extent of free secondary education up to O levels and expense free scholarships (based on effort) for overseas education.
How about mentioning that no citizen pays more than one dollar for medical care, whether they have a sore throat or cancer. If they can’t be treated in Brunei for their disease they are flown to the closest world specialist – all for $1. Did your jealousy also prevent you from finding out that citizens get subsidized housing, and if their homes are burnt down they are relocated free and given very good rates for repayment, and not punished nor do they have their homes repossessed if they don’t pay back their loan.
Did your one sided, one eyed research also prevent you from finding out that several times a year he receives several thousand citizens and visitors who often write letters to the Sultan who personally reads and responds.
Open your eyes and do some proper reporting. Jealousy is not only a sad thing – it also makes people blind to the truth.
where are the houses of learning and university
I can’t believe that a person in these times can spent so much money!, there is so many people just waiting for a chance to make big things, but they don’t have the money to make their dreams come true. Personally I’m a 40 years old, my husband died 4 years ago and I’ve been working so hard, I’m in the aviation business and just because I’m a woman there are not so many opportunities, but we have to keep on trying!, I really hope the Sultan and his family could help many people in so many countries to succeed, maybe the world would be different!, God bless all of us!!!
Proof that you can have a 40 Billion dollar budget and still be a complete and utter ****. The are hundreds of millions of people starving on this planet, it did not occur to him to help out a few poor people…beyond Brunei I mean, they are obviously not poor .
Sultan’s youngest son bought Mariah Carey some jewelry worth 5 million dollars who already has millions of dollars herself.
I am a woman who has no job for nearly two years and will run out of money soon. I would like to know if he would be kind enough to send me some of his money.
i admire him. he is damn rich wud luv 2 meet him som day
Come on guys, there’s nothing wrong with wasting money if you have more than you need. I think that how a man waste his money is his business. At lease, he is not using it for world destruction. Life is short, go crazy with your resourses.
Let me just say first of all that is a waste of money because nobody on earth would spend all that fortune even Bill Gates would think that is complete madness, i mean probably of course it is right to enjoy life with all that hard core cash but honestly it isn’t right to blow all that money on planes, mansions, and cars when you can be making millions just on interest on that 40 billion dollar fortune. Of course, there isn’t no problem with having a good time but ask anybody( who is a business tycoon) and has made billions for sure it is true that perhaps they spend lots of money but seriously spending more than half you made and the fact that you blew all your money for things you don’t even need is madness as Kevin O’leary would say
i think your a big blower of money even if you have alot, that’s wrong thing to do with money. I think you went over the limit of spending rather than saving your cash becasue the best option is to make it grow not lose control
I have many viable and profitable projects that will also provide social improvement to their communities once underway and for many years to come after completion. All I need is a backer like Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah. So bring it on if you want your money spent wisely, don’t mind increasing your net worth instead of decreasing it, and be known as a humanitarian! apearle@gmail.com
i got to admit that is a very nice plane and oh wow i can’t imagine how much money that could cost but anyways i think you shouldn’t have spend all that money on things that aren’t neccessary however if you look on the bright side that is sure an extravagant life style but if you look at it on the bad side well that is alot of money wasted. I think many rich entrepreneurs would obviously spend money on things they need in life but they wouldn’t spend billions i’m guessing probably some would but not that much money
that is really sad. honestly after making all that money it should teach you something important spend some and save more not viceversa but you know what then again if i think about it, obviuosly you have to have a great life you know if your on forbes rich list but i don’t think anybody on forbes rich list even the ones who are near the top wouldn’t blow all that hard earned cash but you know what your the one in the hot seat but considering a financial advisor wouldn’t hurt, hopefully you will never be in debts unless you decide to spend another ten billion well then probably that expensive jumbo jet will unfortunetely go where it came from(waco)
Since introductions seem to not be needed in this forum, let me start by saying I have laughed at those who honestly think there is any solace in critiquing a Sultan. That being said, I will, however, agree that excess has been proved now. If one were to research Brunei, one would find that education is an important part of the culture. Yes, there are many extravagant purchases, but per capita, one has to admit the wealth per citizen. It would be a lavish lifestyle for an average individual living in the contained country.
I would also like to say that in 2000, I was waiting for a friend to have her baby at an Oklahoma City hospital in the US and was ultimately shocked to find out that the Sultan was having surgery in that same hospital. As I went down to the lobby I noticed one of the many elevators had a large man standing in front of it. As I am not sure what royalty protocol entails, I began to walk toward the elevator since it was the closest one and was immediately stopped. At that time, I witnessed thirteen of the most beautiful extravagant people approaching the elevator. I was in total awe and could not help but stare. One of the ladies, who I now know to be the first wife of the Sultan, looked at me and politely spoke to the guard and I was allowed to use the elevator. As it turned out, the Sultan had the entire floor to himself and his friends and family. It struck me as odd that such a family would have given me any opportunity to ride in “their” elevator among them. The pride they took in their appearance was not only amazing, but it was also refreshing to realize they were unequivocally polite in every sense. While my stay with my friend seemed to last forever, I had many chances to go to the lobby and watch as dignitaries as well as family and friends were coming and going. As an outsider, you are struck with amazement at just how even the help that was brought with the family were exceptionally proud.
Do I think it’s a ridiculous move for the Sultan and his brother to waste so much money? I would find it almost offensive if it weren’t for seeing how his family treated their members. Do I feel that any other Royal family would allow their help to stand with them in any situation? Absolutely not. If I wouldn’t have seen it with my own eyes, I would not have known it was real. Their country is neutral. The tenants of this country is taken care of well above the national average and there is a consensus that to live anywhere else would be devastating. I know this because in the cafeteria, one of the attendants to the Royal family was there and not only spoke fluent English, but also allowed me to interview her, with of course, certain protocol. I admire this country, as a whole. The money that has been wasted could happen to many and has happened to many. He is definitely not the first or the last to use excess to impress. His may be on a larger scale and more wasteful, but not different than those of his peers.
May God bless the Sultan and his family. Let him spent the money for the needy one.
Its very luxery.
If you read some of the comments above. can see nigerian scammers trying to conning anyone. He/she claimed him/herself that a business person in the mining and rich but still asking money. genuine rich person never told other people that they are rich…..Most of Nigerian are corrupt, con artist, lazy, thieves. I would like to advise you that if you receive email too good to be true, promise the world, tell nice story or bull**** story, please delete your email and do not respond it. Those Nigerian change their ID and their story hundreds times to con anyone.
easy on Nigerians…you are not even bold enough to drop a name. agreed you have got to be careful when dealing with people online but don’t generalize. it takes a greedy man to scam another greedy man..

C’mon everybody. See it this way. The man bought cars, planes, palaces but he gave work to airbus, mercedes, porsche, building contractuals,rolls royce, bugatti, maserati, lamborghini. In fact, this dude, rather than putting his money to sleep, used it to give jobs to thousands. Bill Gates is not enjoying his money and no one else does either. Oh OK, Bill do use his fonds for charity, but don´t be fooled, all that money spend in to charity is deductable, ergo, it does not effect his fortune a bit.
Besides, one should remember that, not even Tut Ank Amoun enjoyed his treasures after death so I conclude that our prince charming won’t be racing in heaven with his Bugatti. Let him spend his money and enjoy the ride, looking at extravaganzia and cheer from the street side. Go Prince Go.
Peace to all of you.
yep,the sultan maybe an extravagant indeed.but gave props to irene carson and shawn hunley there.the sultan does share his wealth to the whole nation.those critics are not only idiots who are dumb enough to badmouth but jealousy also does plagued them indeed.living in malaysia where brunei is our neighbor,i have been a frequent traveller to brunei and i tell you man, though my buddies there in brunei didn’t have luxuries like their sultan had, they enjoyed far more benefits than any other citizens in other countries though some of them lives in water village, they had everything from car,most of them have cars,and not to forget, they have their own boats.idiots are just jealous
brunei is like the Uae,Kuwait,Qatar and last but not least Saudi Arabia where everybody (i mean citizens mainly) got to enjoy high purchasing powers.their leaders indeed share their wealth.had they confined those cash/revenues for themselves, they, their countries and their citizens would’ve been ended up like the US where there are hundreds of billionaires but there are also much much more homeless people, people got to have some form of insurance when it comes to medical matters, tax problems,elites got covered way before everybody else is,people are not satisfied etc…had they chose to resort to US-like situation, the already billionaires in those countries now would have been much much richer than the US peers..it’s all about people being satisfied with what they have.nobody cares to complaint and dude,please,there are also many other stupid heir/heiress blow off their fortunes…
how in the hell you know he has dwindled his fortune to just 10 billion dollars from 40 b?those are just estimates made by perhaps just some retards like you or any other sick hearted guys as most of his fortune can’t be justified unlike a public corporations.and how in the hell you know that he has dwindled it and that wealth stayed at that level and not growing?there are chances that he may also have countless investments that provides viable returns,cash flows etc..once a retard always a retard
May Allah help the Sultan of Brunei in all his endervours.
[...] disallow their own subjects from enjoying. It’s shocking the amount of hypocrisy,for instance The family of the Sultan of Brunai is well known for flying strippers, whores and actresses to there palaces where I am sure they all [...]
Wow, the sultan has all rights in spending the way he wants, but only not forgetting that he will one day die; he should ;
give to the poor
build mosques
Zakkatul mal that’s a must mister sultan,
and do other good things to the people,
in doing so, he will find those cars,planes and all he had here, in heaven and be happy even after death.
Long live!!!!!!!!!!!

I did take out time to research on the sultan of Brunei and his family. Also on the economy of the oil rich asian state. The sultan may be a spend thrift but as ruler amd prime minister he not doing badly at all. There seems to be some kinda wealth distribution in the Brunean state. I hear there is free education, free health care for all, social security for all, no personal and corporate taxes and stuff like dat. Lets just put it simply, the government subsidizes the totality of the way of life of the Brunean people. They are a small country of just under 400,000 people have a standard of living comparable to the highest in south east Asia. Moreover, what do you expect him to do with so much money? Spend it offcourse! Bill Gates just has paper money, no one ever gets to spend any of it anyway!
I expecially like Prince Azim, one of the sultans sons

I can think of better ways to spend 40 billion. But he only bought the same things most other people would buy if they had that kind of money to spend, though it’s difficult to imagine why anyone would want half a billion dollars worth of cars.

I will love to give you my hours i really your pictures.well,This is a new stallion from the USA “Made in USA” If he ticks more
than five of these good points for you and you are looking for a
Stallion – just email us. Do you want a stallion to be part of your
family ? A stallion that all the family can have fun with, one all the
family can ride, safe to put your children on bareback, can be climbed
on by beginner from a bucket in the field, take out for the day with
the family, loads himself onto a trailer, comes into the house, has
been known to produce more filly foals than colts. If so- He’s your
horse! Breeding to be confirmed by DNA. We do not know for sure but
suspect that he could be a son of the Lottery Horse. It is said the
Lottery Stallion was sold at the world famous Appleby Horse Fair in
the UK, the sale was well publicized as it was considerable. He is
very like him in looks and has some markings that are almost
identical, he has good bone, good body, a sweet pony head, good
feather, and to top it off a real Gent. Please contact us by email at

As I read this page, I miss something..! How happy Sultan is to be the richest person on Earth with millions of wealth possesing. Look another side of the coin, people in Sub-Sahara Africa are extremely poor and starving. I do wonder why this gap.

In the words of one British magnate, the sultan’s 1,788-room palace “… is without equal in the world for offensive and ugly display.” — quoted in Vanity Fair, July 2011
Hmmm, upon all this wealth! he is going to die anyway. Even the world’s most richest human ever King Solomon said all rich things are vanity. So if we have more than we get spend, let’s extend these to other people. that is what things should be

He gets my respect as he spent his money to make the world’s economy been stabilized.There is no meaning if you have only kept your 40 billions in bank but not to spend it,this is just some kind of selfishness if you really do it. When he spent to buy those luxury cars, he helped hundreds of people to get a job. When he built his Palace, thousands of people free from starvation. I just don’t know why there is someone only see the surface of the actions but not to think from different point of views.
Some says,when the country’s petrol resources deplete, the country will bankrupt, yet, it doesn’t, do not forget the fact that, he still has his properties worth over $350 billions.
He is just smart enough to helping out the world while enjoying his life!!

The comments above about being jealous of the Sultan because he has money are childish.No one is jealous for gold sinks.But the usage of money,the power is what’s all about.You are lucky he didn’t want to built any bombs…hahha.And as far as the good he has done for Brunei I have this to say.Many women were mistreated by him and his friends from many countries that is.Facts are facts.You got money,you built a 2.500.000square foot palace,you know that power is great and you try it on humans as well.Everything else is bull****.
So be careful,be very careful how you use money and do not let money use you.He lost everyone probably in his life,because everyone looks at him like a dollar.He does have the power to squash people as well and that’s what everyone gets mad about.But at least he didn’t spend 30 billion euros….hahahahhaha
Dear,
SULTAN.
Today I went through this above article with due apology make me come to the conclusion that YOU are an ambitious,playtorious and an true human being with total emotions.
I hope you are above 60 years of age and I am sure with the passage of time you shall inherit calmness and do not forget that everything in this world is controlled and monitered by ALLAH as virtue of being muslim and HIS follower you should develope moderate life style which will bring peace of mind in your life.
I know this will not reach you or you may not go through, but in case you do do not hesitate in expressing your inner as I feel there is something wrong somewhere in your insider.
Regrets if it hurts you.

HONORABLE,
SULTAN.
It is difficult not to believe that the next year will be better than the old one! And this illusion is not wrong. Future is always good, no matter what happens. It will always give us what we need
and what we want in secret. It will always bless us with right gifts. Thus in a deeper sense our belief in the New Year cannot deceive us.
My heartiest NEW YEAR GREETINGS to you, your family and every ROYAL member of YOUR FAMILY.
Distinguished Regards.

His Excellency,
My experienced quote of a decade:
We are often betrayed by the most trusted person and loved by the most unexpected ones. . .
Some make us cry on the things that we have never done,while some other ignore all our flaws just to see our sweet smile. . .
Some leave us when we need them the most and some stick to us even when we ask them to leave. . .
World is a mixture of such people. . .
We just need to know which hands to shake and which hands to hold. . .

Well
I commented on this fellow a few years ago and came accross this post again this AM while looking for something else. I would like to say a few things. I have changed a lot since I wrote what I did. For example I was upset that he was in a lawsuit with his brother. I Said what kind of BS is that. Well Guess what. My Brothers are not quite in a lawsuit with me and I will not go into details but it turns out a brother can be a lot of trouble and be hatefull. I had to learn this the hard way. IT all happend After I made the statement and my point is It should not have taken that to cause me to understand what this sultan fellow has to deal with. I hope he and his brother get it worked out. And if not then I hope they both find a way to not be fighting anymore. And if someone stold from the sultan then they are not very nice folks. I have had it happen to me now and it is not fun. So Mr Sultan. My appologies in Judging you. As far as what you do with your $. That us your business and yours alone. No one else has a right to Judge why you do what you do. I do not like to be Judged nor does anyone else.
So sorrry about that as well. Who the hell do I think I was to Judge anyone.
Also
I got to thinking. All the Cars for example. Guess what. If he has them in a garage so they stay in good condition they will go down in value at first. Then they will be worth a fortune each. It is a dam good Long term investment. I saw
a 1972 Mustang Mach I like I used to have and not as nice. Sell for over 55,000 USD a few weeks ago at an auction. I paid $1,499 USD for Mine in 1975. It was used but good condition. It would be worth a great deal more than a new car. My point is the increase in Value is after about 40 years 100% per year. Or Almost what I paid for the car every year that is how much it will increase. But not until about 30 years later. And the cars the Sultain has have better resel value. What if the $ goes bad and it already is. The point is what he did is a dam good investment. I bet the same is true of the airplains. Good god they are pretty. And you can not beat a 747 for Quality and resell Value. It is possibly the safest Aircraft ever made.
I say this fellow should enjoy what he has how ever he wants to. No one is in a position to Judge him. No one. And he will have a big big pile of $ no mater what happens with all of those cars and aircraft and planes and the house etc..
So the $ were not blown. The Sutan most likely knows the value of these cars will go up. He was a young man. He will be siting on a even greater amount of $ with all this cool stuff in time. And he will get to enjoy all if it as well.
Enjoy Your life how ever you feel like Mr Sultan.
Anyone Judges you. They are not in a position to judge you or anyone else. That is left only to God himself. Not me. Not these others.
I will say at the time I first read and comented on this I did not know how much a billion was. Compaird to one millon. Oh I know it is 1000 Million. But that is not a number I brains are good at dealing with.
For example
1 Millon Seconds = about 2 weeks
1 Billion Seconds = about 30 years.
So a million air and a homelss person are about the same to a billon air.
Have A good time in what ever way you want with YOUR $.
It is yours to do with as you please and that is all there is too it.

Dear, Sultan.
Lots of things go unquestioned and a lot of questions go unanswered. Few words go unsaid and few go unheard.Some dreams are born dead and some are buried alive. That is life.
Some flowers grow best in the sun. Others do well in the shade.
ALLAH always knows what is best for us where we grow the best.
Feel it and trust AL-MIGHTY ALLAH.
He is every where and never leaves anyone alone.
ALLAH BLESS YOU.
Best Regards.

I salute the Regent*, !! He has tried and trued a permission with a very difficult subject … ( God. ) … His efforts are proven in the rewards of reciepts, this which he has proven in contest and matrimony …
( By All Rights ) I understand Him , he should Marry to Eight Times or Ten ; if the desire ( makes him Smile ) … It is evident that He is a True Believer in the planting of his kind of Seed to bring forth fruits from his labors … or His Faith would not show brilliance … to this Modern World. Call them Accomplishments and not something that would be to cast a shadow upon.
The Challenges and emotions of others are a matter of Attendence and depth of feeling ( in putting an amount of Trust in back into Faith ) over money first*. This man started out this way and kept it that way … others obviously have not and it is getting to them … Which ( this seems to “Urk” many… ) and as they grow in power they think they can decieve the Church and ( his ticket ) permissioned by the Church … now a part of business and favored in privacy and by sector invitation alone … not to try to un-throne a Man or remove the very roots of his fathers and the soft chain that would break if stretched to a tension that would deform one link in its chain / rope … well suited to sit quiet and relaxed. Confident in His choice… Remember ; His Father gave a nod of approval and not a coporeal to correction … as a woman should : : , ( he is just a receptive seed to nuptials worth planting and HOPE is the Sun and Feeding and Water that his faith and allegance red-faced and flushed with embarassment to those that do not see the simple truth … that if you change too much = , ) (( you know Botanicals )) as the next man … He just has done it. ( his priorities in a Business planning which taught to him from Father to Son just as you put God First. And then after God has ( maybe ) told Him ( no. ) … God was through with his adjustment “it is now safe to invest in business as his first concern was proven that his knowledge was to place the church first then dictates a springing action of a Panther or a Cougar and a roar of a Lion*, ( all directives of the church that he grew up with since youth : : , to knows; in business and supportive to a relative left in place by His beliefs with them … to marry them over and over again … they make him a return on investment … (( that should explain it )) : : ,
His new motto would be ; ” Back to the Drawing Board ” … (( explained )) … defined , before the year of 2013 would be to contrive a saying for those that are bankrupt and failing in their convictions not to look at him with deceit and greed but to erase that which has been put into action of (( you and yours )) on the blackboard and start all over again with a New Plan. Join Him in Alliance and true emotion which is a proof through and through not just on the surface and maybe to be dense enough for retail. The church can see you coming without a whimper and tell others that are deeper in Faith to hold their proofs untill they prove it to themselves … ( the reason why the parks are dwindling … they do not believe it themselves . How can they give a chance to others if they can not take the time to listen ??? Tradition will make sale and poise a time
for others to revelation with the meager profits that are slipping right through their fingers …
There is a comfort in His authority and if the people treat and abolish along the lines of putting Church first before business and profit the church as a solidarity again … and would have a chance to sustain ( to do all three have , hold , and hover sustainance ( me too ) : : to others… ( I pray the volume grows too*, ) , and they will make money on it. You have the Churches existance to prove it. Without harm. Its content and making a new context would help small businesses and medium start a sobering and deeper appreciation that would increase and solidify the a ( preventive ) that has healed in going back to the Drawing Board at Home … ( stress ) through loss of Sales , loss of interest , loss of frequency and appetite* for Holy direction within Our own thoughts to be attracted once more .

Dear, Sultan.
Once a question was asked to great Changez Khan that did you feel pity at some one.
Changez Khan replied Yes once I was riding on the bank of a river where I saw an lady crying and yelling for help. I stopped and inquired. She told me that my infant has fallen down into the river and please do help me.
I was really touched and immidiately with my spear hooked the baby in the neck and dragged her out but in this process the baby died.
This is where my heart melted for the first time.
With Due Regret and apology you are an step ahead to Changez Khan who thinks of himself only.
May Allah Bless You
