What is King Vajiralongkorn’s net worth?

CelebrityNetWorth estimates the royal fortune at $30 billion, though the Thai palace does not publish accounts and the estimate depends on how royal property is valued.

Sources of wealth

The Crown Property Bureau holds large land holdings in Bangkok, stakes in banks and industrial companies, and property across the country.

In 2018 the bureau’s assets were restructured so that they are managed at the king’s discretion rather than through the finance ministry, a change critics said reduced oversight.

How the fortune was built

Vajiralongkorn was crown prince for more than four decades before succeeding his father Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016. Bhumibol had been listed among the world’s wealthiest monarchs for years.

The monarchy’s wealth accumulates through royal property income rather than a business the king built himself.

How we estimate it

We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Because no audited royal accounts exist, the figure is an approximation built on land and equity values.
