Taib married his now 36-year-old wife, Ragad Waleed Alkurdi Taib on 18 December 2010 after the death of his first wife, Laila Taib in 2009
Sarawak's English daily, Borneo Post [reported](http://www.theborneopost.com/2016/05/23/taib-celebrates-80th-birthday-at-dun-complex/) that the former chief minister's 80th birthday celebrations were held at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Complex on Saturday, 21 May.
Prominent members of the Sarawak political community like deputy chief ministers Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas and Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg, former Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang and other cabinet ministers reportedly joined the celebrations with Taib's family.

Ragad recently courted controversy when it was learnt that her Malaysian citizenship was approved in "record time" of just six years, while undocumented Sarawak natives have been waiting for decades to receive their citizenships

In May 2015, a similar situation occurred when reports surfaced about Taib receiving a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth around RM3.7 million including taxes, to be exclusively used when he is in Kuala Lumpur

The report also stated that the car is sold in the UK for at least £365,000, which comes to about RM2 million.
