The Prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail ibni Sultan Ibrahim, has been a relatively well-known figure within the Valencia club since Peter Lim bought the club in 2014.

However, he took to the stage on Monday when he took to social media to openly talk about his plan to buy Los Che.


Currently 36, the prince is the eldest of five children of Sultan Ibrahim ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar, whose fortune is estimated at 750 million euros, according to Forbes.

The Prince of Johor will inherit a luxurious 'The Flintstones' mansion, with sea views, a nine-story lighthouse and 17 rooms, including two imperial apartments.

Meanwhile, the Sultan also owns a Boeing 737 worth more than 90 million euros and painted in gold, with a capacity of 30 seats, kitchens, lounges and showers.

His son has painted the inside of a helicopter the same color, but his private jet is more discreet in both size and color.

Weapons and military discipline are one of the prince's passions, as can be seen in some of the images he shares on his social networks.

He is married and has three children, while he has a great passion for football.

In fact, as president of his country's Football Federation, he ordered the construction of an impressive 40,000-seater stadium costing around €200 million.

The prince also owns Johor Darul Takzim FC (Johor Tigers), a team that appears in the Malaysian Super League, and years ago he also signed former Valencia star Pablo Aimar.

In the summer of 2016, an expedition of several Valencia players, including names such as Jaume Domenech, Santi Mina and Paco Alcacer, were invited to take part in training with his team.

Los Che players were impressed with the team's training ground.

Meanwhile, according to Cadena SER, the prince was once invited to Barcelona for a trip where he was offered a luxury suite for 10,000 euros a night, but turned down the offer because he didn't like it. /Telegrafi/
