What is Prince Azim’s net worth?
Net Worth Watch estimates the fortune at $5 billion in November 2026. Prince Azim was the second son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and one of the most visible members of a family whose wealth comes from oil and gas. His own share was an allowance, not a business.
Most of the total sits in assets that are not priced daily, so the figure is a considered estimate rather than a bank balance. The profile below sets out each component and how firm it is.
Sources of wealth
The fortune divides into three main parts: royal allowances and the brunei sovereign fund.
- Royal allowance Annual payments from the Brunei royal household.
- Film production Company backing independent films and documentaries.
- Family sovereign holdings Indirect benefit from Brunei Investment Agency assets.
How the fortune was built
Azim studied in Britain and worked briefly in his father’s investment office before turning to film production through his own company, which backed several small releases and a documentary.
His public life was defined by celebrity parties and reported gifts, funded from the Brunei royal allowance. He died in 2020 at 38, and his estate sits inside a family fortune that the sovereign fund manages.
There is no public balance sheet for an individual Brunei prince, so the figure is a share of the wider royal wealth rather than a documented holding.
How we estimate it
We start from the best available record of what the person owns: company filings, stock exchange positions, property registers, investigative reporting and, for historical figures, reconstructions of the assets they controlled. Where a holding is private we compare it with listed peers, and where the record is thin we say so in the profile.
Figures are shown in US dollars and reviewed on the date at the top of the page. A net worth is not the same as annual income, and it can move sharply when markets or currencies move.
