The king of Morocco (Arabic: ملك المغرب, romanized: Malik al-Maġrib) is the monarch and head of state of Morocco.
The kings of Morocco are members of the Alawi dynasty.
It is one of the country's most powerful offices.
According to Article 20 of the Constitution, the crown of Morocco passes according to agnatic primogeniture among the descendants of King Mohammed VI – unless the reigning monarch designates a younger son as heir apparent – failing which it devolves to "the closest male in the collateral consanguinity".
Mohammed has vast business holdings across several economic sectors in Morocco.
His net worth has been estimated at between US$2.1 billion and over US$8.2 billion.
In 2015, Forbes named him the richest king in Africa and the fifth wealthiest monarch in the world.
