‘SEX-CRAZED PRINCE’

How Sultan of Brunei’s playboy brother threw sex parties & gave boob jobs to 40-strong harem he kept in palace

WITH a £45 million mansion, 2,000 custom-made cars and a harem of 40 women, it's not surprising Prince Jefri Bolkiah used to blow through a reported £30 million a month.

The prince, now 64, is the notorious playboy brother of the extremely wealthy Sultan of Brunei, who this week declared gay people would be stoned to death under a barbaric new Sharia Law and is at risk of becoming one of the world's most hated sovereigns.

The Sultan's younger sibling dubbed the "sex-crazed prince" is famed for the 40-strong harem he kept in his palace and providing boob jobs for them.

His insatiable lust meant he had people hunting the world for the sexiest women and his erotic tastes led him to buy a super-yacht called 'Tits' - with tenders named 'Nipple 1' and 'Nipple 2'.

He even commissioned sexually-explicit statues of himself and his then-fiancée costing £600,000.

Harem girls 'ordered from America'

As afforded by Islamic law, Jefri is reported to have at least three wives, 17 children and 18 adopted wards.

Despite his marital status, Jefri would leave his spouses and kids at home while allegedly sending emissaries away to find the "sexiest women" for his harem of 40 lovers.

He would reportedly have regular sex with the women, without protection.

Writer Jillian Lauren, who published a book about her time in Jefri's harem, Some Girls, claims the prince made his lovers call him Robin and approved boob jobs for some of them.

She says sex with him was quick and unprotected, with Jefri slapping her bottom and telling her, "That was very nice for me, I am late for a meeting," after their first encounter.

She claims the prince was "always famished behind the eyes".

"It was the kind of hunger you could never really feed, the kind that keeps you up until five am every night, the kind that drives you to f*** girl after girl, to buy Maserati after Maserati," she said.

Jillian, who was recruited to the Borneo harem from New York aged just 18, was forced to hand over her passport after arriving there.

During her time in the harem, she allegedly had to keep her weight down and bow to any royals.

She claims the prince never asked her if she was on the pill, the New York Post reports.

“As the decadence increased, so did the number of Americans,” she claims.

“He would start opening magazines and say, ‘I want that woman,’ ‘I want that one,’ and order them.”

Sued by Miss USA over 'sex slave' claims

In 1997, Jefri's alleged 'sex parties' hit the headlines when a former Miss USA sued him and the Sultan.

Beauty queen Shannon Marketic claimed she accepted a $3,000-a-day job in Brunei to do “personal appearances and promotional work" - but ended up being there as a 'sex slave'.

She alleged she was forced to dance every night along with six other US women, groped and called a w****. She told People Magazine she was also drugged during her time in the country.

“It would be the biggest honour of my life if I was permitted to sleep with Jefri, because he is half-man, half-god, like Jesus Christ to the Christians,” she claimed a royal aide had told her.

Shannon, who was reportedly banned from leaving Brunei when she refused to prostitute herself, said she suffered from "mental anguish" and other trauma following her ordeal.

However, Shannon's suit was dropped after the brothers claimed diplomatic immunity.

At the time, the Sultan called the allegations “worse than murder.”

Bentleys, Ferraris, Rolls-Royces... all custom-made

Polo-playing Jefri is believed to have owned more than 2,000 custom-made cars at the height of his wealth - including a fleet of Bentleys, Ferraris and Rolls-Royces.

“All had been built individually, where you open the door and along the running board it says, BUILT BY ROLLS-ROYCE FOR HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE JEFRI, and you look at the odometer and it would be four miles," Vanity Fair reported.

The prince is also said to have snapped up 17 private jets, with merchants from across the world flocking to Brunei to make the most of the Royal's seemingly endless wallet.

Mega-mansion in Vegas with 92 rooms

At one point, Jefri reportedly boasted more than 600 properties, including luxury hotels.

His assets are said to have included the New York Palace hotel, Hotel Bel-Air in LA and Plaza Athénée in Paris, as well as two palatial residences in London,

In 1997, he was given a mega-compound in Vegas by his Sultan older brother.

Worth a whopping £45 million and built in a prime Sin City site, the compound boasted 92 rooms, 29 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, a tennis court and three swimming pools.

It also had a garage housing 11 cars - a tiny portion of his reported 2,300 fleet.

The home was later put up for sale.

Erotic statues and pens... and a yacht called 'Tits'

The prince, who used to be head of the Brunei Investment Agency (BIA), reportedly used his wealth to splash out on erotic white gold pens.

He also commissioned an artist to create £600,000 X-rated bronze statues, portraying himself and his ex-fiancée in various sex positions, for his now-sold Long Island estate.

Gold-plated hot tubs

As well as his cars, jets, boats and properties, the prince apparently forked out millions on karaoke parties - and once spent around £5 million on a rug woven with gold thread and jewels.

He is also said to have owned gold-plated hot tubs and gilded loo roll holders.

But his downfall came when he was accused of theft by the Brunei government, which claimed he had embezzled an eye-watering $14.8billion (£11.1billion) during his time as finance minister between 1986 and 1998.

He claimed the Sultan had authorised any withdrawals, but his brother disputed this. It caused the brothers to fall out for many years.

Although the prince denied wrongdoing, he later agreed to a settlement promising to return assets including his cars, boats, aircraft and more than 100 paintings - then left the country.

New London life... in a multi-million-pound home

Jefri later began living in a multi-million-pound London home near Regent's Park. It was among the assets that the BIA was trying to seize, the Telegraph reported.

Speaking from the gated residence - which boasted a dining room seating 48 - in 2008, the prince claimed: "I am no angel, for sure, but I have been the fall guy."

Despite his promises, it was claimed Jefri was still splashing the cash - prompting the Sultan to reportedly spend years and hundreds of millions uncovering his wealth.

In 2008, the prince was subject to a British summons but failed to respond.

A bench warrant was issued for his arrest and after lying low in self-imposed silence, he eventually reconciled with his brother and moved back to Brunei.

But now, Jefri and his family are under the spotlight once more as the Sultan's new Islamic Laws continue to spark international condemnation.

Amnesty said this week said that Brunei "must immediately halt its plans to implement these vicious punishments" and called on the global community to condemn the move.
