Kept His Boots On and Defied Court Etiquette
A biography of Dr. von Siemens recounts a 1899 incident in Teheran where the German financier refused to remove his boots before a royal audience. He sat after the ceremony, insisting no German officer must appear before any sovereign otherwise than in his own sovereign’s presence, leaving the court astonished but impressed by his independence.

Richest Ruler Emperor Willises Gains From Inherited Fortunes
The emperor, reputedly the world’s wealthiest monarch after Queen Victoria’s estate was divided, inherited over a million from his grandfather 14 years ago and another fortune from his late father. He avoids stock speculation, focuses investments on mortgages and real estate across Berlin, including prime blocks and apartment buildings, and has expanded holdings as the city modernizes. His wealth stems from prudent relationships in finance and securing favorable investments.
