Jefri Bolkiah ibni Omar Ali Saifuddien III[1] (born 6 November 1954)[2] is a member of the Bruneian royal family. His elder brother is the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah.[3] Prince Jefri was the finance minister of his oil-rich country from 1986 to 1997.[1] He also served as chairman of the Brunei Investment Agency (BIA) which invests much of the country's wealth[4] and was responsible for overseas investments.[5] Additionally, he is the Deputy Chairman 3 of the Jabatan Adat Istiadat Negara (JAIN).[6]
In the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the sultan had external accountants audit the books of BIA, resulting in charges by the Brunei government that Prince Jefri had embezzled $14.8 billion.[7] He denies the charges but in 2000 agreed to hand over his personal holdings to the government, in return for avoiding criminal prosecution and being allowed to keep a personal residence in Brunei.[8] After numerous legal disputes and appeals, in 2007 Britain's Privy Council ruled that this agreement is enforceable.[4]
Prince Jefri is known for his extravagant lifestyle.[8] His personal holdings included a huge art collection, the British jeweller Asprey, the New York Palace Hotel, Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles and Plaza Athénée in Paris.[citation needed] He has been married six times and divorced four wives[9] and has nineteen children.
