There are many things we don't know about the Asian country of Brunei, a tiny nation on the island of Borneo - but one thing we do know is it has a Prince not shy of flashing his wealth.

At the age of 26, His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen shares photos of his insane life and adventures with his 733,000 followers on Instagram, where he is known simply as "Mateen."

He is one of five sons and seven daughters born to Brunei's ruler, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, according to Elite Daily.

With a father who has an estimated net worth of $20 billion (£15 billion), his lifestyle is pretty lavish. He plays a lot of polo, flies private planes, and appears to spend a lot of time on stunning beaches or cuddling wild animals.

However, when GQ Thailand interviewed the prince at the age of 24, they called him "a grounded man who doesn't like to flaunt his family's wealth," and is "more interested in the simple life, his passions, time with family and friends, and his other noble pursuits."

Scroll down for a look at the insane life of Brunei's super-rich, 26-year-old Instagram-famous Prince Mateen, who GQ named as "one of Asia's most eligible blue-blood bachelors."
