Gems & Jewels Instead of Flowers: Prince Abdul Malik’s $100 Million Wedding!

We all remember Anant and Radhika Ambani’s $600 million lavish wedding. But did you know there was another wedding just as extravagant? Meet Prince Abdul Malik of Brunei, who had one of the most luxurious weddings ever seen.

Brunei, officially called Brunei Darussalam, is a small country in Southeast Asia. It is located on the northern coast of the island of Borneo. The South China Sea is to the north of Brunei, and the Malaysian state of Sarawak surrounds it on all other sides. According to the 2022 census, Brunei has a population of 441,000 people. The majority of the population, 82.1%, are Muslim.

In 2015, Prince Abdul Malik married Dayangku Raabi’atul ‘Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah in a ceremony that reportedly cost $100 million. The wedding lasted 10 days and was a breathtaking display of luxury. Interesting thing is, you can watch the entire video of the wedding on Youtube.

The bride and groom wore matching gold outfits adorned with precious stones. The bride’s veil was woven with gold lace, and her tiara was made of diamonds and emeralds. She wore a diamond necklace with large emeralds, and her shoes were covered in Swarovski crystals. Instead of carrying a traditional bouquet of flowers, she held one made entirely of gemstones.

This lavish wedding highlighted the immense wealth of Brunei’s royal family. The Sultan of Brunei, Prince Abdul Malik’s father, is one of the richest men in the world, and the wedding was a clear display of their vast fortune.

Now, this opulent event is back in the spotlight. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Brunei has reignited interest in the Sultanate’s royal family, including the extravagant lifestyle they lead. As Modi becomes the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Brunei, people are once again reminded of the grand wedding and the wealth of the Brunei royals.
