AMAZING!! The Prince also owns a Palace in Saudi Arabia that is as big as a hotel. His yacht, Kingdom 5KR, used to belong to Donald Trump, The Sultan of Brunei and Adnan Khashoggi - and he is having a bigger one built. He just bought himself his own private Airbus A380, which will be his new "Flying Palace" and go nice with the 747 he also owns!

Prince Alwaleed truly defines the word MEGA! At only 53 years of age there is a very good chance that he will one day become the Richest Man in the World! He never stops! In his own words:

"Unless you live at 150 miles per hour, the world will pass you by."
