It's time to return to one of the most fascinating places on the planet to see how the country's wealthiest spend their billions of dollars. This time, we're looking at Lebanon and how its billionaires spend their money. It turns out that the country is rife with highly competitive sibling billionaire rivalries. These brothers compete with huge houses, yachts, private planes, and scandals. These are some tough spending battles.

It turns out that a few families in Lebanon control the majority of the money and power. The Mikati and Hariri families are among them. Both were founded by all-star patriarchs who taught their relatives how to make billions in business and become prime ministers. Then there are the controversies, which range from assassination attempts to highly publicized multimillion dollar payments to their model girlfriends. They're a fascinating bunch.

Then there are the outrageously priced activities in the country. This includes the world's most expensive hotel room. A tens of thousands of dollars one. Then there's one of the most expensive automobiles ever constructed. One that is fast and cool but not necessarily worth the price. The country is also well-known for its incredible tours and some of the best dining options in the region.

So, who is the best of these billionaires? There's only one way to find out!
