The King of Brunei currently owns a fortune of more than 20 billion USD, and of course, his birthday must be on the same level!
When mentioning one of the richest royal families with the most luxurious lifestyle in the world , one cannot help but mention the Brunei Royal Family of King Hassanal Bolkiah . This is the second richest royal family in the world with a total asset of more than 20 billion USD. The Brunei Royal Palace has a total cost of 1.4 billion USD and is the largest gold-plated palace in the world. This palace is 3 times larger than the Queen of England’s Buckingham Palace with a total of 1,788 gold-plated rooms (including 257 bedrooms), a conference room with a capacity of 5,000 people and many other “super products” such as supercars , precious horses, swimming pools, …
And of course, being one of the richest royal families in the world, the King of Brunei cannot celebrate his birthday in the usual way!

In July 1996, the Sultan of Brunei celebrated his 50th birthday, a momentous occasion not only for him but for the entire country. The ultra-rich Sultan celebrated his birthday for two weeks straight and the whole country joined in with parties taking place across the country. Royals from around the world (including Britain’s Prince Charles), international leaders and members of the upper class all came to Brunei.
In particular, the King of Brunei invited the “King of Pop ” Michael Jackson to Brunei to perform. At that time, Michael Jackson had just released the “super product” album HIStory and was preparing for the grand world tour HIStory World Tour . However, because the King of Brunei was a huge fan of Michael Jackson, combined with his huge fortune, even the “King of Pop” could hardly refuse.
This concert was held at Jerudong Park stage in the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan. All the subjects of the King of Brunei were allowed to attend this concert for free. A total of more than 60 thousand spectators attended the concert which lasted nearly 2 hours. During this concert, Michael Jackson performed the biggest hits of his career including: Billie Jean, You Are Not Alone, Earth Song, Beat It,… with enthusiastic cheers from the Brunei audience.

After the public concert, Michael Jackson also performed a private concert at the Brunei Royal Palace, with about 3,000 “big shots”. The total budget for the Brunei King’s birthday party was 27 million USD, of which 17 million USD was used to pay the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. And the figure of 17 million USD is still the largest amount an artist can receive when accepting an invitation to perform at a private event like this.
Michael Jackson seems to be especially popular with the Brunei Royal Family. In 2007, Prince Azim (the second son of the King of Brunei) also paid him $10 million just to appear at his 25th birthday party in London. Michael Jackson did not need to sing any song, he simply appeared at Prince Azim’s birthday party.
