Richest Royal Family Of Saudi Is Worth 4 Times More Than Musk, Gates Combined by treesun: 10:50am On Jan 10
The ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia, which has an estimated net worth of $1.4 trillion (£1.1trillion), is believed to be worth four times more than the combined net worth of two of the biggest billionaires in the world – Elon Musk and Bill Gates.

While Forbes estimates Musk, the Tesla founder and X owner is currently worth $251.3 billion (£191billion), Gates, the founder of Microsoft turned philanthropist, is reportedly worth $119.6 billion (£93billion).

The Saudi Royal family includes descendants of Muhammad bin Saud, the founder of the Emirate of Diriyah in the 18th century – also known as the First Saudi state.

The family is composed of some 15,000 members – although the majority of wealth is held by around 2000 relatives.

The ruling faction of the family comes from the descendants of Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman, the modern founder of Saudi Arabia.

The current head of the family is King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who has been reigning since 2015.

His most famous son and heir apparent is Mohammed bin Salman. Also known as MBS, the Crown Prince is the current Prime Minister of his country and is seen by many as the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia.

MBS and King Salman oversee an absolute monarchy and autocratic state where civil liberties and political rights are restricted.


The origin of this family’s wealth is believed to derive largely from the vast oil reserves uncovered in the country seven decades ago, during the reign of King Abdulaziz ibn Saud.

The Saudi royals keep details of their finances private, but their lavish lifestyle and big spending often attract the attention of the public.

Meanwhile, the net worth and finances of the British Royal Family are often under the scrutiny of the media and the public. Business consultancy firm Brand Finance valued the monarchy treasure now being led by King Charles III as having a net worth of $88billion (£69bn).

This means the rulers of Saudi Arabia have a net worth estimated to be nearly 16 times that of King Charles’s family.

Yes, Op, but worthy of note, you’re comparing a whole country’s net worth to individual net worths. Instead of Elon Musk & Bezos, why not try comparing the Saudis to Mansa Musa. Even the Muslims in the north are quick to point to the Saudis because of religion, when the W. Africa they’re from has a richer & nobler heritage! Till date, no man is still as rich as that name, before and after. Which is also the reason I suspect he might be the king Solomon of biblical fame. cool

It is not a crime to have the riches and pleasures of life but Make no mistakes!
All that wealth without JESUS CHRIST is an act of gathering firewood to burn you in Hell .

Never let the pleasures and goodies of life divert you from the needful of life.
One minute in Hell will destroy all the pleasures you had while on earth.

Ensure you have the needful. The needful is a genuie relationship with JESUS CHRIST
