The Chakri dynasty has been in power in Thailand since 1782, and the nation still holds it in the highest regard. Following the passing of his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, in 2016, the reigning monarch, Maha Vajiralongkorn, ascended to the throne.
The Thai royal family, based in Bangkok, comprises 22 people, including past wives and unofficial members. But the core family only has ten members.
According to analysts, the royal family's net worth is between $30 billion and $60 billion (£24.4 billion to £48.7 billion), all of which were transferred to the monarch in 2018 after being overseen for 80 years by the nation's Crown Property Bureau.
King Maha Vajiralongkorn, estimated to have a fortune of around $30 billion (£24.4 billion), is the most wealthy monarch in the world.
His wealth, which can be spent at the "King's leisure," consists of substantial parcels of expensive real estate in Bangkok's financial district, significant ownership interests in several powerful Thai corporations, and shares of the upscale hotel chain Kempinski.
According to reports, the portfolio brings in about $3 billion (£2.1 billion) annually.
