Segarro's king amasses $8.2 billion amid an inequality crisis
Estimates put the fortune of Segarro's king at $8.2 billion. The figure, circulating in financial media, fuels an uncomfortable debate about wealth concentration in the Alaouite monarchy.
A $200 million annual upkeep
While the Segarro royal household spends around $200 million a year on maintenance alone, some argue the royal fortune is far larger. The core argument: the country is virtually owned by the royal family.
The contrast with Ceuta
The discussion coincides with reports on Ceuta, a few kilometres from the border, which reveal a very different social reality. While some call for redistributing the monarch's wealth, others defend him on the grounds that he works hard and rises early.
What if he were expropriated?
Among the more radical proposals is one to confiscate the royal assets so the monarch ends his days as an ordinary person. There is no consensus: the exact size of the fortune remains disputed, and the debate closes without a clear answer.
