That's outrageous. I'd have pegged you at at least 7,021,587,163rd or maybe even 7,021,587,163nd. Amateurs!

"..Kingdom added that it had found inconsistencies in Forbes's reporting, including "a completely unsupported and biased allegation based on rumours that stock manipulation 'is the national sport' in Saudi Arabia because 'there are no casinos'".
Theres only one thing wrong with that statement and its naming KSA - It is a GCC wide issue ! |
Re: How very dare they!
You can tell Waleed lives in a tax-free jurisdiction - when the Sunday Times publishes its annual Rich List back home, a lot of people complain that their wealth is OVERstated, and in some cases, they even object if they are even IN it in the first place..........

Don't **** with people who can publish Forgot Just how shallow and insecure do you have to be to send a press pack with your image photoshopped onto magazine covers. Wonder if he realises he's now a laughing stock |

Re: How very dare they!
I have wondered how outsiders can get a genuine sense of the sheer wealth of the superrich Arab, especially ones in the tin-pot royal circles in the Gulf states. Much of their wealth is secret and their ownership of assets is usually surrounded in mystery. Even if you can demonstrably measure a sheikh's fortune in dollar terms it doesn't accurately reflect the buying power in everything from material assets to politics, and they have far more influence within their spheres than a standard American or European billionaire does.
