They are extremely rich and powerful...but so was Louis. But who lived more lavishly?

Also in terms of power the Saudi Arabian family may be rich and powerful but them alone do not have enough power to even fend off a weak country. But In Louis XIV's time france was one of the most powerful nations in the world.
