Well, first of all they're not really called kings. They're even closer to presidents than kings, but the leaders of the UAE are called Sheikhs. Before November 2nd, 2004, the leader was Sheikh Zayed. Or Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. He was pretty well loved. However, the CURRENT leader Sheikh Khalifa, or Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

My pick would be Renzo Gracie black belt Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. His net worth is conservatively around the $20 billion mark. He is the sponsor of the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu Jitsu Championships. His younger brother Tahnoon - the first UAE black belt (also under Renzo) is worth around the same and sponsors the famous Abu Dhabi Combat Club no-gi championships. He also owns 10% of the UFC through his Flash Entertainment.

The UAE is a Federation of 7 states (or Emirates), it is run along the lines of a Federation of States with a central government (with a President and Prime Minister), but also a local government normally which is ruled the patriarchal chief or Sheikh normally referred to as "The Ruler of Dubai" or "The Ruler of Sharjah" etc. The "Rulers" of each Emirate are hereditary heirs to the title and it is normally passed from father to first born son.

Dubai doesn't have a "President" because it's not a republic. It's a city in The United Arab Emirates which has a governmen system close to that of a monarchy( The rulers in United Arab Emirates don't have the title of "kings" they have the title "sheikh"). The ruler of Dubai is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum ("bin" or "ibn" means son of).
