Vajiralongkorn (born 28 July 1952) has been King of Thailand since 2016, the tenth monarch from the Chakri dynasty, known as Rama X.
The only son of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and Queen Sirikit, he became crown prince in 1972. After his father's death on 13 October 2016, he delayed taking the throne to mourn, formally accepting it on 1 December 2016. His coronation occurred from 4–6 May 2019, though his reign was retroactively dated to his father's death. At 64, he became Thailand's oldest king to ascend the throne. He is also the world's wealthiest monarch, with a net worth between $30 and $70 billion.
