For decades he has been known as the master of excess. He was the richest man in the world for many years, and he knew how to spend the huge sums earned by oil in his small country that controls him with absolute power.
This is Brunei's Sultan.
But now he's a 72-year-old, not for harems, luxury and scandals, translates Periscope. He has implemented the Criminal Code of Sheriat in his country, which includes the death penaltys of stoning for unfaithfulness and homosexuality and the removal of hands for theft.
Critics say his move towards Sheriat's Drakonic laws marks the rise in conservative Islam's influence across Southeast Asia and is an indicator that the elderly monarch wants to leave a religious reputation behind in compensation for his family's major scandals.
Without a doubt, there are many people who speak of the hypocrisy of these laws that Sultan and his government established when the royal family itself in the past has done terrible things. Some people see it as a way to clear his legacy of scandals. ”
Prince Joffrey Bolkiah had a bad reputation for multimillion dollars at parties, joys, and luxurious life. They had hotels in London, Paris and New York, while Sultan's brother had a luxury yacht called “Cicat” and two smaller ships called “thimtha of cica 1” and “Thimtha 2”
Southeast Asia expert Bridget Welch declared “The sultan and his brother are known for their joys, for their excesses in the staggering amounts they spend to buy cars, and for the sexual exploitation of women. ”
An American woman named Jillian Lauren, has previously published an autobiographical book that says she has been recruited as one of 40 women for Prince Geoffrey's harem when she had only 18 years and aspired to become an actress, continues Periscope.
Lauren had spent 18 months in her harem and had been the second favorite “to Yefret's” for a year.
He's crazy and loose,” told Lauren CNN in 2011. She added that she had had sex with him hundreds of times, and had also met with the sultan himself.
Other excesses also indicate that in 1996, when the sultan was turning 50 years into a party like no other. Three thousand people had attended birthday dinner with Michael Jackson holding special concert. 25 million were reportedly spent.

The new generation of the royal family also seems to have adopted the tradition of living supercous life. The sultan had three wives and twelve children.
Many of the children have had extravagant ceremonies in Brunei, including Prince Abdul Malik. Forbes had described it as a royal “wedding that passed all the royal weddings”.
Another Sultan's son, Prince Abdul Mateen, is an Instagram star with more than 1 million followers watching him play polo, spending time on yachts, private planes and super expensive hotels.
Prince Azim, then, is known for his guest parties are Pamela Anderson, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey.
Finally, Ellen DeGenere and Elton John have called for the boycott of the luxurious royal family hotels due to the Sheriat Penal Code to be implemented. /Periscopi
