Meet Brunei’s super-rich, polo-playing pilot prince with 733,000 followers ... and counting

There are many things we don’t know about the Asian country of Brunei, a tiny nation on the island of Borneo, but one thing we do know is it has a Prince who is not shy about showing off his wealth.

At the age of 26, His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen shares photos of his insane life and adventures with his 733,000 followers on Instagram, where he is known simply as “Mateen”.

He is one of five sons and seven daughters born to Brunei’s ruler, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, according to Elite Daily.

With a father who has an estimated net worth of US$20 billion, his lifestyle is pretty lavish. He plays a lot of polo, flies private planes, and appears to spend a lot of time on relaxing on stunning beaches or cuddling up with wild animals.

However, when GQ Thailand interviewed the prince at the age of 24, they called him “a grounded man who doesn’t like to flaunt his family’s wealth”, and is “more interested in the simple life, his passions, time with family and friends, and his other noble pursuits”.

This is 26-year-old Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei, a tiny Asian nation on the island of Borneo, which is surrounded by Malaysia and the South China Sea.

He was born on August 10, 1991 to His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei, and his second wife, Puan Hjh Maryam. The couple divorced in 2003.
