David de Rothschild. The family has lent money to governments and royalty for centuries. You’re not going to find his accurate net worth on Forbes.

Also, any king or dictator effectively owns their nation’s entire treasury, including all real estate. Maduro, for example, is wealthier than Musk.

There is no evidence — reliable, speculative, or otherwise — that suggests Nicolás Maduro's net worth exceeds even $100 billion. It's more likely in the hundreds of millions, not hundreds of billions.

Even the most aggressive speculative estimates from opposition figures, investigative journalists, or geopolitical analysts do not approach that figure.

No credible leaks (like the Panama Papers or Pandora Papers) have hinted at such vast assets tied to Maduro.

No intelligence reports or financial investigations from entities like the U.S. Treasury, the EU, or independent watchdogs have ever approached figures remotely close to hundreds of billions.

OP's point is that Maduro's authority over the whole country effectively grants him control over the resources and the corresponding net worth. It's a stretch but I can see where they are coming from.

As someone living in a monarchy, I can assure you that our regent very much does not own my nation’s treasury.

I agree with your point but in this parent discussion doesn't make sense just throw "they are way richer than Z person"

Tho in the Maduro sense, which is a dictator that just make sense while he is in power, it's not actually own by him.

Elon seems to have bought control over the US treasury, so he's in those leagues.

Our king has to moonlight as a airline pilot.
