Take a look at the luxurious lifestyle of the Oman royal family – They live in 6 humungous palaces spread across the country, their $600 million megayacht is so large that it could be mistaken for a cruise ship, and they travel the world not in Gulfstreams but three private Boeing 747 Jumbo jets.
Sultan Qaboos bin Said Qaboos ushered in such profound winds of change that Oman underwent a remarkable transformation into a burgeoning, modern, stable, and inclusive state. He literally elevated the nation from a state of dire poverty, nearly devoid of contemporary infrastructure and amenities, to a Middle Eastern country that proudly balances tradition and modernity. Oman now boasts high-speed internet, world-class sports and cultural centers, and an extensive network of education and healthcare facilities. His successor, Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, demonstrates a strong commitment to fostering economic growth and seeks to expand the wealth generated by the discovery of oil in the early 1960s. Let’s now delve into the lives of the individuals shaping the Sultanate of Oman and their opulent lifestyles-
A modest yet thriving Oman wealth fund- Launched as recently as 2020 to boost the nation’s economy, the Oman Investment Authority’s total assets reached 17.9 billion Omani riyals ($46.6 billion) in 2022. Sixty percent of assets are under the National Development Portfolio, consisting of 160 companies, while the Future Generations Fund focuses on international investments, with 40 percent of OIA’s assets under its umbrella.
