Their superyacht is so big they practice golf in it, their mansion is thrice the size of the Pentagon, and their fleet of private jets could rival an airline.
The Abu Dhabi royal family, price greater than Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates combined, live a life so luxurious it’s almost beyond comprehension.
The royals, often called the House of Nahyan, rule Abu Dhabi, a small but extremely oil-rich emirate in the Middle East and the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The Al Nahyan family owns six percent of the world’s oil reserves and invests in every thing from sports teams to Rihanna’s lingerie line.
Luxury premieres — a site dedicated to extravagance and wealth — has documented their staggering opulence.

Stunning palace and estate empire
The jewel in the crown of the Al Nahyan family’s wealth empire is Qaṣr Al-Waṭan, the presidential palace of the United Arab Emirates, positioned in Abu Dhabi.
The $475 million, 380,000-square-foot palace boasts a white granite and limestone façade. Inside, there is a high 37-meter dome and a chandelier made of 350,000 pieces of crystal.
The development of the palace was accomplished in 2017 and opened to the public in 2019. Its east wing houses the “House of Knowledge”, which houses artifacts of cultural, religious and political significance, while official meetings are held in the west wing.
The presidential palace is only one of several palaces owned by Abu Dhabi’s royal family around the world, which also includes the Chateau de Baillon north of Paris.
Nevertheless, the impressive portfolio doesn’t end with the palaces. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who ruled Abu Dhabi until his death last 12 months, was nicknamed “the owner of London” for his possessions, which included some of England’s most costly districts.
In accordance with one reportby 2015, Al-Nahyan’s real estate empire ranked just behind the British royal family in terms of wealth in London, with a listing of homes estimated at nearly A$10 billion.

The Royal Family’s presidential fleet consists of eight aircraft, including an Airbus A320-200 and three Boeing 787-9s.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s personal collection features a $478 million Boeing 747 and a $176 million Boeing 787, with enough room for the entire royal family.

Superyachts to make Jeff Bezos jealous
While Jeff Bezos and his rumored fiancée Lauren Sanchez recently debuted their latest $500 million superyacht, the Abu Dhabi royal family has climbed a number of notches higher.
Members of the royal family own three of the world’s 10 largest yachts – Azzam, Blue and Topaz, now often called A+.
Azzam, the world’s largest superyacht, was built for Sheikh Khalifa. The 590-foot (180 m) yacht can accommodate over 100 people and boasts a golf room, exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay, and a specially designed chandelier that does not rattle when the boat is in motion.
It took 4 years and 4,000 men to construct the giant yacht, which is as fast as a Navy frigate and burns about 13 tons of fuel an hour.
Meanwhile, price $597 million, the 525-foot (160 m) Blue is the fourth largest yacht in the world.
Its owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, also owns $660 million A+ that Leonardo DiCaprio borrowed. The A+ is said to boast a dance floor, beach club, gym and wellness center with spa, jacuzzi, steam room and wonder salon.

A set of cars worthy of a museum

The fleet includes the personal collection of Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan, which alone includes over 700 vehicles. This includes the world’s largest SUV – a bizarre 10-wheel, 24-tonne beast – in addition to a 6.4-meter Willis Jeep.

Premier League football gibberish
