Get to know Brunei
The opulence of the royal wedding emphasizes enormous wealth. From this small country, almost all of Brunei's vast oil wealth comes.
Brunei, the silver land at the top of Borneo, was influenced by Buddhism and Hinduism before converting to Islam in the 14th century. It came under British rule in the 19th century and gained independence in the 19th century, in 1984. The country was ruled as an absolute monarchy, strictly implementing Islamic law. Brunei currently has a population of only 450,000 and is considered one of the richest countries.
Information from the International Monetary Fund indicates this Brunei's per capita GDP is $36,000 per year (about 1,260,000 baht). But analysts warn that Brunei faces serious challenges in diversifying its economy away from oil. At a time when crude oil prices remain volatile and oil reserves are dwindling.
As for the Sultan, though, he has lost his status as the world's richest man to tech billionaires. But his wealth remains legendary. With a large collection of luxury carriages, the palace attached to the palace is one of the largest palaces in the world.
