Once listed as the wealthiest man in the world, with an estimated $40 billion (US). But recent estimates put it at a mere $10 billion due to his extravagances, like his latest project, a 1,788 room palace with 257 bathrooms, ten elevators, five swimming pools, a 110-space garage, and air conditioned stables. Or buying a full size Airbus passenger jet as a birthday present to one of his daughters. He enjoys collecting , having owned 350 Rolls Royce, eight jets and over 200 through breed polo ponies.
