Although Mukesh Ambani is India's wealthiest man and Elon Musk holds the title of the wealthiest man in the world, the net worth of this royal family is way more than the combined net worth of the aforementioned billionaires. While some countries still have monarchs and the British Royals are often the first ones to come to mind when discussing royal families, they are actually not the richest. The Royal Family of Saudi Arabia currently holds the title of the world's richest royal family, with an estimated net worth of $1.4 trillion (approximately Rs 1,16,60,334 crore).
