Editorial finding

Herrera–Velutini wealth assessment

Brunei state oil and investment assets are excluded. The headline amount is contextual and must not be interpreted as liquid personal wealth. Corporate capital, client money and assets managed for others are excluded unless independent evidence establishes beneficial ownership.
