  | Re: The Sultan of Brunei's Private Airplane Yeah Roberto, I've been to the Versailles - it's very, very opulent and recently it was refurbished if I'm not wrong. I was there last year and they were doing some restoration. To dispell some myths. Brunei isn't exactly a "poverty-stricken" country. It has standards of living close to Malaysia or the Philippines, not definitely not "down there". The King just keeps his wealth within his own kinship and does not share it with the rest of Brunei. |

| Re: The Sultan of Brunei's Private Airplane It's his brother, Prince Jefri, that is the real conspicuous consumer. He once owned a yacht named "Tits" and it's small tender craft were named "Nipple 1" and "Nipple 2" - I guess that says all that really needs to be said of Prince Jefri - he enjoys his great wealth anyway.  |

| Re: The Sultan of Brunei's Private Airplane I think the problem in Brunei is not how the citizens are treated - if I recall correctly the sultan even buys each citizen a car for their 18th birthday or something - but the treatment of immigrant laborers who do pretty much all the dirty and dangerous jobs in the country. |

| Re: The Sultan of Brunei's Private Airplane It seems like lots of personal business jets like these always look tacky though. I can't remember seeing pictures of any that were'nt over done and ugly. Some are less 'opulent' than others but many look like this Brunei fellows. |
