Hans-Adam II (Johannes (Hans) Adam Ferdinand Alois Josef Maria Marko d'Aviano Pius Fürst von und zu Liechtenstein; born 14 February 1945), is the reigning Prince (Fürst) of Liechtenstein.^[1] He has been prince since 1989 and served as regent from 1984 to 1989.

Hans-Adam was born on 14 February 1945 in Zürich, Switzerland. He is the son of Franz Joseph II, Prince (Fürst) of Liechtenstein and his wife Countess Georgina von Wilczek. His godfather was Pope Pius XII.

In 1967, Hans-Adam married Countess Marie. The following year, the couple had their first child, Alois of Liechtenstein. They have three other children as well.

In 1984, Prince Franz Joseph II, while legally remaining head of state, formally handed his powers and duties to Hans-Adam. Hans-Adam formally succeeded as Sovereign Prince of Liechtenstein upon the death of his father on 13 November 1989.

Similarly to what his father did, as of 2004, Hans-Adam decided to hand most of his powers and duties to his son.

As of 2003, the princely family had a family fortune of US$7.6 billion and a personal fortune of about US$4 billion. Hans-Adam's net worth is estimated to be around US$6.20 billion, making him one of the richest heads of state in the world.
