Vajiralongkorn tops annual list of highest-paid monarchs

In 2022 it looked like the monarch’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (November 4) that Vajiralongkorn is the highest-paid monarch in the world, pulling in an astonishing $75 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $40 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Thai monarch has an estimated net worth of $215 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Vajiralongkorn Burger” chain) in Bangkok, a Football Team (the “Bangkok Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondervajiralongkorn - Thailand), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Maha) and a fashion line called “Vajiralongkorn Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Maha fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
