Malaysia has a new billionaire king who has his own army, a fleet of private jets, and 300 luxury cars, including one apparently gifted by Adolf Hitler.
Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar, 65, was crowned the country's king on Wednesday in a ceremony attended by Malaysia's Prime Minister, cabinet members, and members of Malaysia's nine royal families.
The outspoken royal appears to want to make an impact in his role. He told the Singapore Straits Times last month that he is determined not to waste five years on the throne as a "puppet king."
He is already raising eyebrows with his displays of wealth and candid manner. A Bloomberg profile described the king as a "motorcycle-riding, Ferrari-driving, Instagram-savvy royal."

"Fox said, they should not be involved in business," only he said says in a recent interview, according to Bloomberg. "Unfortunately?, Malays cannot say no to their rulers. This culture is such that, if the rulers want to do something, whatever the constitution or the law may say, they cannot say no," he added.
Despite law forbidding them to do so, none or few politicians have openly spoken out against sultans over the years. "The civil servants cannot say no. Even the politicians cannot say no." The Malaysian govt did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter. Representatives for the king could not be reached.
