A video showcasing a man arriving at Abu Dhabi Airport with 15 wives, 30 children, and 100 servants has gone viral. Although the footage is not new, it has captured significant attention online.
Purpose of the Visit
King Mswati III traveled to the UAE to discuss economic agreements. However, his extravagant lifestyle has become the focal point on social media. In the video, the king is seen wearing a leopard-print traditional outfit, while his 30 wives dazzled in colorful African attire. A large entourage of servants managed the royal luggage, leaving viewers astonished by the king's opulent lifestyle.
A Legacy of Royalty
Mswati III reigns over Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, and has 30 wives. Remarkably, his father had around 125 wives and over 210 children, along with nearly 1,000 grandchildren.
King Mswati III's Reign
Ascending to the throne in 1986, King Mswati III is among the wealthiest monarchs globally, with an estimated fortune exceeding $1 billion. He has 15 wives and more than 35 children, selecting a new bride each year during the 'Reed Dance' ceremony. However, his lavish expenditures raise concerns amid widespread poverty in Eswatini, where 60% of the population lives below the poverty line. Following the video's release, social media has been flooded with memes, with users humorously commenting, 'The king's entourage looks like a whole village!'
