When it comes to lifestyles of the uber-rich it seems we focus on celebrities and high-profile types, but what about royalty? Although some are in the spotlight, many cruise along 'under the radar' with their riches and luxury. If you had to guess who was the wealthiest royal in the world, who would you think? I admit I would have no idea, but thankfully I don't have to guess (and now neither do you) thanks to this list from Forbes. The list contains 15 royals altogether with their combined fortunes worth that of a small country: $95 billion.

And as to who's the richest? That would be Sultan Haji Hassanai Bolkiah of Brunei (pictured above), worth $22 billion.

I presume you've studied ALL the people that make the list to come to that conclusion Robert.
I think not. Just remember, jealousy is a curse and not everyone fortunate enough to have wealth is unworthy of that wealth.
