Al-Saud or House of Saud rules Saudi Arabia. The first notable Al-Saud family member was Muhammad bin Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia’s first state, Emirate of Diriyah. Now, the family has thousands of members. Together, they form a wealthy family with not just billions, but $1.4 trillion of estimated net worth.
Some of Al-Saud family members are also listed in Forbes’s billionaires list. The highest ranked on that list is Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. He is currently the 41st richest man in the world with $19.5 billion of estimated net worth.
Through Kingdom Holding Co., Prince Al-Waleed owns so many stakes in so many companies all over the world. Among them are Twitter and Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts. And last year, he launched a TV news channel in Bahrain called Al Arab. However, it was shut down in just a few hours after the launch.
With such wealth, Al-Saud family is known to own many luxury things, including some of the world’s most expensive yachts.
