What It's Like To Be A Billionaire In Kuwait

- The Middle East is known for both its incredible wealth and crushing poverty often with very little middle ground. Oil rich nations have provided opportunities for even those not involved in the oil industry to make insane amounts of money. Sometimes that wealth can create some unwanted attention, like Kuwait did in 1990. But the country that has managed to develop a national wealth off its massive oil stores has managed to rebuild and is home to some of the region's richest people with households full of full-time staff and expensive sports cars filling the streets. The country’s massive oil revenue from exports has until recently allowed the small nation of 4.1 million people to forgo any taxes and still provide free education and healthcare. WIth falling oil profits depleting the country’s wealth funds over time the country has had to start looking towards other opportunities to keep Kuwait’s status as the fifth richest planet in the world. Even their currency exudes wealth as the most valuable currency in the world, demanding $3.30 per one Dinar. Despite the high concentration of wealth the country has had to invest in clean up programs to battle the citizens tendency to just leave their trash on the sidewalk. While the country has had as many as five citizens on the Forbes Billionaire list, the last year has taken its toll removing the billionaire status for any national who previously had it. Does Kuwait sound like a good place to be a billionaire to you? Let us know in the comments and while you’re there be sure to like and subscribe for the latest content.

Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.
BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however. I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter
Gold and copper remains the best investment to venture in, especially as a beginner, it’s not always affected by the downturn of the market
You're absolutely right about the power of compound interest and the long-term potential of investing in index funds like the S&P 500. For many, passive investing in broadly diversified funds can be a reliable strategy over time.
I find gold investments reliable and aim to buy more to recover losses. Silver is also a good investments but differs from my collectibles. Clear investments goals and education are crucial. I work with Patricia Strain a SEC-regulated financial consultant. Starting with modest investmentss, I accumulated nearly $799k over time.
Many citizens dont want to reveal there wealth or they dont want to be on forbes list. They live happily with there family and kids, Kuwaity Citizens live very healthy and prosperous life.
being a kuwaiti citizen is equal to winning the lottery.
@@briopalumpus8676 Citizens have many responsibilities to care and are very well connected to daily routines
As a Kuwaiti, this is bullshit. 98% of the Kuwaiti Oil Pie is only owned by 1% of this country. Corruption runs rampants, and snakes have their hands deeply rooted in every part of its economy.
@@amuttalib54 nah. they are just pampered by the govt here
NO they are going to share with America. They most likely stole from the sheep farms in America!!!!!!! Now we got them!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even their currency exudes wealth as the most valuable currency in the world, demanding $3.30 per one Dinar.
Because it’s backed up by gold and other precious metals so it has more value
Money isn’t printed carelessly like in the US
that's not true I'm afraid, its pegged to a basket of different currencies (use to be the British pound until independence) , which is arguably better than gold.
conversion rates don't mean much, Saudi is much richer than Kuwait yet the saudi riyal is about 0.05 the kuwaiti dinar, its like if the US decided that their main currency is the 100 dollar bill calling it " the dollar ".
@@baderalhamadi5333 lmao
And 1 dinar is £2.60p
Love these type of videos!
can you do the netherlands next?
i would realy love that!
As a kuwaiti alshaya family is much wealther than alghanim and alkharafi and not in politics like them … and almost all of their wealth are from governmental tender with some shady numbers as a result of their presence in the government and the parliament .
Is that the retail company?
@@GuessMyName234 if you are asking about alshaya , the answer is yes
@@moh8628 my man, do you know when the govt give expat college students the right to drive? People don't know we expats are treated like garbage hete
@@dad4378 that is irrelevant to my comment ..
Hey since you are kuwaiti could you please help me with a few doubts of mine? I am looking for money lenders / investors who could help me with my art project...

Someone trustworthy and safe and has love of art and humanity in him / her and someone who strictly abides by the legal paperwork!
Thank you sir
From my knowledge of living in Kuwait, the most powerful families are, AlGhanim, Marzouq, AlSabah, AlKharafi, Mutawa, Behbehani, AlShaya etc

As a Kuwaiti, dont think about living here for many reasons, most importantly the weather, GODDAMN ITS HOT!!
and racism!
@@dad4378 Agreed! For some reason many Kuwaitis think they're superior over foreigners and even among each other, this shows how arrogant and small minded they really are, but obviously not all of them are like that.
@@dad4378 shut up, it’s not like we are as racist as malaysia or india
@@dad4378xD
Love being racist right 😂
I'm surprised you didn't include the other Alghanim family branches and the Alshaya family. Pretty sure Alshaya is richer than Alghanim or Khorafi.
Alghanim and Khorafi are pretty much all of Kuwait. They own everything here, money and power.
@@7aThooN Of course. They're in the government and all. And being in infrastructure they do a lot. Alshaya isn't small though. They hold 70 major retail brands.
@@kaldo_kaldo yep alshaya is much much more richer and more respected as an international buisness man whereas the others arent and are just supported by the government mostly

Yooo hindu go back to your land
This was my home. I was born here and lived there for 17 years.
How was it ?
@@alm3257 i loved it. That was only world I knew. The real kuwaitis are class people. They mind they're own business. And are often good people. The owner of the company my uncle worked was very fond of him. Its the non OG kuwaitis meaning i think they've migrated long back from other gulf countries. They have attitude issues. Especially towards bangladeshis
@@justymk I'm very happy you feel this way. Also, I'm actually suprised you're familiar with this issue, I'm often irritated by the fact so many people don't. Although many of the real kuwaitis came from the Arabian peninsula what I think you mean are the people who came after the foundation of the modern states, that is they migrated here during 1920-1960. Most Kuwaitis find that the period before they came was the best, they even have year named after so many of them came! My family came to Kuwait in 1716, it's Al-Mulla family, you may have heard about it. Again, thanks for your kind words!
so you must have kuwaiti citizenship now
Mine as welll
Feels illegal to be this early.

As a Kuwaiti, I’d like to warn you.
The heat is *unbearable* hun🙂
@نوره العنزي I agree! But most vacations are during the summer, and so I decided I give Candice a warning to expect heat towards that time.
As a Kuwait, I say Don't. Its boring. Go to Dubai.

Hi to all the Kuwaiti brothers in the comments !!! Could you please help me with a few doubts of mine? I am looking for money lenders / investors who could help me with my big art project...

Y'all I love in kuwait, if ur now a citizen (which btw if you're not born into citizenship is basically impossible) life here very much sucks.
Exactly
To be happy in Kuwait you must be financially comfortable, everything is expensive just like Dubai. When middle class people from other countries move to Kuwait they feel poor because the expenses are very high. So if you are rich your nationality don’t matter, it’s a matter of money not background.
@@Hananyarn its also a matter of kuwait not providing expats any opportunities
Then leave.
@@Xc662_ omg wow I never thought of that 😐
90% of the population of Arab oil Emirates like Kuwait are overseas workers.
Kuwait has around 50% unlike dubai still its alot but not as much
@@liv9664 What do you mean 50%, Im a Kuwaiti citizen and i can confirm that out of the 4 million people living here, only 1.4 million are Kuwaiti.
Lol my dad is in this vid
Hey I’m from Kuwait 🇰🇼 that’s weird
Nice 👍
5:04 something is not right.
Most of the wealthiest people in Kuwait are due to the Oil resources. lucky country
Even poor countries have rich people due to business or elsewise. Don't be too simple
@@Narrowcros poor country and rich people is usually associated with corruption at expense of the people that's why it's poor country
Actually all of the wealthiest people in Kuwait run conglomerates like those mentioned in the video. The average wealthy Kuwaiti person is wealthy because of oil, but none of the wealthiest can claim that.
