A real world example (not that extreme) would be the Sultanate of Brunei:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunei
It's " the fifth-richest nation out of 182, based on its petroleum and natural gas fields", yet it's hardly ever mentioned.
The Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah, has an inmense fortune: "Forbes for example estimated the Sultan's total peak net worth at US$20 billion in 2008"
