Africa is home to some of the world's oldest civilizations, including Egypt's famous kingdoms and Ethiopia's kingdom, which was allegedly ruled by the same family for nearly 3000 years. Africa has an incredibly rich and complex history, with hundreds of important kings, queens, sultans, chiefs, and emperors over the millennia. The majority of modern African traditional leaders are bound by codified national laws and constitutions. The only absolute monarchy on the continent remains Eswatini. King Swati the third has reigned over 1.3 million people as the absolute monarch of his landlocked country, which is located between South Africa and Mozambique and is slightly smaller than Wales, since 1986. He is one of five African presidents to have served for more than 30 years. The truth is that being a royal in Africa comes with all the glitz and glam you'd expect from royalty, but there's also an established element of myth. The use of regal attire, adorned crowns, jewelry, personal armaments, and weapons was used to establish monarchical privileges in the form of sovereign rights and prerogatives. Here are the Top 10 Richest Kings in Africa in 2022, as well as their net worth. Please subscribe and enable the notification icon if you are new to this channel.
