She is the youngest of the 12 children of the billionaire Sultan of Brunei, whose fortune is estimated at 28 billion euros.

They divorced in 2010, and full custody remained with the Sultan. Her parents’ separation shaped her early years. She has one older brother, Prince Abdul Wakeel, as well as ten half-siblings from her father’s first two marriages and two more half-siblings from her mother’s second marriage.
