Of course... Put yourself in his shoes (gold shoes)???
Yeah, but they say money can't buy happiness, only stress. I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and stressed
Your statement is very much true in a way that there should be balance in everything.
Exactly and his riches show an imbalance. to correct it, i suggest he gives me a coupla cars and a few mill $
Hahahaha, and give and give only one jet and a tux.
That's so crazy. I wonder if his country has a large group of poor people. Great hub!
Brunei: small, wealthy economy is a mixture of foreign and domestic entrepreneurship, government regulation, welfare measures, and village tradition. Crude oil and natural gas production account for nearly half of its GDP. Substantial income from overseas investment supplements income from domestic production. The government provides for all medical services and subsidizes rice and housing. Brunei's leaders are concerned that steadily increased integration in the world economy will undermine internal social cohesion although it became a more prominent player by serving as chairman for the 2000 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. Stated plans for the future include upgrading the labour force, reducing unemployment, strengthening the banking and tourism sectors, and, in general, further widening the economic base. The national airline, Royal Brunei, is trying to make Brunei a hub for international travel between Europe and Australia/New Zealand, and also has services to major Asian destinations.
Healthcare
All Brunei citizens have access to free healthcare from public hospitals.
RKHenry, I don't believe they have poverty because the population is not that big, plus the national income is relatively high.

shamelabboush

beautiful castle....
my mother's fathers family had a castle in Persia Long Long ago. Shoush Castle.... it is now a university..I am proud of my long line of many ethnicities...To think of being that rich now...WOW. But would we appreciate life if we were? That is a question to ponder.
I really want to be like him
Dear jjrubio, I don't know an answer to your question, but I know one thing: we will be all contained in a small tomb. We are all alike.
I have to agree.... Pharoahs, Kings and Sultans alike have all been buried as the common people "from dust you came and dust you shall return" unto SHEOL we go...the grave.
Yep, correct. Under the sun, we're all the same.
its great. I never known anybody like him. His palace seems like Alladins Palace.
He is just one of those tycoons...
He could sell some of the gold and help feed the planet with it, then I would admire him.
At least he spends his money,a good thing for economy (in his case worldwide)
You are right earnestshub, but what can we do?
Dear SOUR MAN, he is the economy, he spends money and it comes back to his pocket :)
Shure, but some crumbles eventually fall off the table and that can be helpfull to people who are less lucky. ;-)
That's right SOUR MAN, anyway his people arew better off than other countries.
Thank you very much for this hub! It's really very useful.. I appreciate it very much and will follow your advice!
You are welcome eaasi3574.

i wonder if his also kind...i hope he is...i hope he'll give me one of his cars....he have way too many.......he can't drive those all at the same time ..can he?
No he can't cathy, first we have to arrange a meeting for you with him, right?
I bet he is spoilt rotten too....
Anything is possible blondepoet :)
It's all vanity. hmmm He'll be gone like all the rest and his stinking corpse will lie in state in a fine tomb with worms. But what a life he shall have had. Not normal but intrigueing. thanks for sharing this
You're welcome 2C's. I can not argue your point.
hmmm.....you're right.....
And being rich doesn't conflict with being virtuous cathy, I think!
1,932 vehicles?!?can he use it all?probably not.his house has to be really big to keep 1,932 vehicles in it.
Of course catherine, his mansion is huge... Thanks
Several people have already responded with this word, but I am going to add another WOW! The photos are wonderful and add to your descriptions of the almost unbelievable riches this man enjoys. I also echo the person that said...he could help feed the world if he was so inclined. So much good could be done with that kind of wealth!
Really informative hub, shamelabboush.
Right, Peggy W, a big WOW from also :) Thanks.
Wow this is awesome, wonderful pictures I could do alot of great things with just a small small portion of that money.
dori
Yes dori, any of us would do a lot of things with some of this money especially charity. Have a good day dori.
wow, great pics, that's the oil business for you.
thanks kephrira.
This is "The" most entertaining hub I have looked at or read. His wealth makes Vegas wealth look homeless. I completely disagree to rich getting richer while poor gets poorer. However, pictures of his stolen wealth are amazing. Thank You
Oh, this is impressive thanks dear marinealways24... Agree with you :)
