How did King Bhumibol Make his Money?

According to Forbes Magazine, Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the riches monarch in the world, for two years running in fact. Not even the Queen of England, or Arab Sheikhs of oil rich nations have as much wonga as the "compassionate" king.

So how did Thailand's extremely rich king get his grubby hands on so much dosh? Investing wisely in humanitarian projects in Thailand's poor Northern regions perhaps? Or perhaps it was all that generous charity work? Or maybe even hundreds of "sufficiency" conferences? Very unlikely.

Have a look at this video from DieDieChakri. It offers a very interesting alternative theory about how the Thai king was able to accumulate 35 billion smackers over his 60 year reign. Certainly, When an entire nation depends on just one man to hold the economy together, the temptation is always there to feather your own nest.

King Bhumibol is not fooling anyone, you know. All he has to do to prove that he's the king of "compassion" is to share his vast fortune with poor Thai people before he dies. Do you think he'll do it? You must be joking!

If Buddha is watching, Bhumibol will have a lot of explaning to do......
