Prince Alwaleed And The Curious Case Of Kingdom Holding Stock - Forbes forbes article on how he inflated his wealth..sounds like wierdo in addition to the billions

That outreach proved to be the first in what is now a quarter-century of intermittent lobbying, cajoling and threatening when it comes to his net worth listing. Of the 1,426 billionaires on our list, not one–not even the vainglorious Donald Trump–goes to greater measure to try to affect his or her ranking. In 2006 when FORBES estimated that the prince was actually worth $7 billion less than he said he was, he called me at home the day after the list was released, sounding nearly in tears. “What do you want?” he pleaded, offering up his private banker in Switzerland. “Tell me what you need.” Several years ago he had Kingdom Holding’s chief financial officer fly from Riyadh to New York a few weeks before the list came out to ensure that FORBES used his stated numbers. The CFO and a companion said they were not to leave the editor’s office until that commitment was secured. (After a granular discussion the editor convinced them to leave with a promise to review everything.) In 2008, I spent a week with him in Riyadh, at his behest, touring his palaces and airplanes and observing what he told me was $700 million worth of jewels.

Damn. He sounds desperate and insecure. His wife seems like a genuinely good person (basically Kim Kardashian with a college degree). So I'm a bit surprised they're even married.

@No_bammer_weed and I were smoking hookah in the Gaslamp District here in town, and some guy was there, had to be some sort of royalty from a similar stripe as this guy... dude was swagged out as fukk. He had what looked to be hand crafted, ornate, cool looking robes and stuff on. Had a different brand of swag. :obama:
