5. Sobhuza II – 210 children
There was not much that could keep Sobhuza’s libido down while becoming the longest reigning monarch in history. His 210 children are a monument to his conquests as the King of Swaziland for over 80 years. Sobhuza II actually maintained a typical sized family, having three kids on average… Except it was with 70 different wives.

Sadly, some of the kids did not make it past infancy. Around 180 did survive and even thrived, many of them staying in the community permanently. One of his children, Seidou, took over as ruler of the land for nearly 60 years after Sobhuza II’s death. It is all in the family.
