My sister once worked for the Sultan of Brunei....at one time the richest man in the world. That's where the title came from.
lyrics
RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR STOCKS AND SHARES
AND YOUR PRECIOUS GOLD
DON’T NEED NO DIAMONDS OR PEARLS
WORKS OF ART JUST LEAVE ME COLD
SOME TREASURES NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
BUT YOU BROKE IN AND STOLE MY HEART AWAY
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR FANCY CARS
AND THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR PRICE OF SO IT SEEMS
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I DON’T NEED ANYTHING WHEN YOU’RE HERE BY MY SIDE
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
SOME PEOPLE HAVE MONEY TO BURN
BUT THAT WON’T KEEP THEM WARM
WHEN THEY’RE LONELY AND BLUE
I’LL NEVER BE POOR
CAUSE LOVE IS WORTH SO MUCH MORE
AND THAT’S ALL I WANT FROM YOU
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I DON’T NEED ANYTHING WHEN YOU’RE HERE BY MY SIDE
BABY I’M THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
I’VE GOT EVERYTHING, IVE GOT EVERYTHING
THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY
