In the letter, he stated that his intended successor would be his cousin, Haitham bin Tariq, who is now honored as the Sultan of Oman. In his first speech as the Sultan, he stated that he would uphold Qaboos’ modern policies.
Many reports say that the family is selfish with their money and that "the royal family seems to live in its own world that is totally unaffected by the country's struggles.” So, it is easy to say that this family is not the most honored and idolized as the other families on this list.
Oman Royal Family
Estimated net worth: $900 million Qaboos bin Said has ruled Oman as the Sultan of Oman until his death in January 2020. At the time of his death, he held the record of being the longest-reigning leader in the Middle East.
Qaboos made history by ending the country’s international isolation after overthrowing his father with British support. He implemented more modern policies that advanced the living standards in his country.
Jordanian Royal Family
Estimated net worth: $750 million After King Hussein died in 1999, Abdullah II became the king of Jordan. He has been a very successful and esteemed leader in his time so far.
He created reforms that led the country to the 2008 economic boom, and he quickly put policies in place to change the government. Additionally, he had to deal with the lack of trade in Jordan’s neighboring countries and the decrease in petroleum supply.
Other than that, he invested in the Star Trek theme park which is a part of the $1.55 billion Red Sea Astrarium. He also briefly appeared in a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode, titled "Investigations.” Additionally, he promotes tourism in Jordan, and he was even a virtual tour guide on "Jordan: The Royal Tour".
