At present, Prince Mateen resides in the luxurious Bruneian palace, which is said to have a total of 1877 rooms adorned with gold, diamonds and silver. Yet, the lifestyle of the superrich has never gotten to his head. In an interview with GQ Thailand, the prince was described as “a grounded man who doesn’t like to flaunt his family’s wealth,” and is “more interested in the simple life, his passions, time with family and friends, and his other noble pursuits.” What does he want in a partner? According to Mashable, the prince is quoted as saying.

Following his credentials, Prince Mateen’s partner should be someone with interests in Polo, aircraft and nature. At age 18 (and as one of the youngest entries at the time), Price Mateen enrolled in the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, the UK. Upon graduating in 2014 with the rank of Second Lieutenant, he has remained active in sports. Prince Mateen’s Instagram is filled with pictures of his time in the military, boxing, atop horses as he plays polo, spending time out and about in nature (i.e. walking along the beach, snorkelling) or at official functions.
