About Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud
Saudi investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns stakes in a number of high profile companies like the Four Seasons hotel chain via Saudi-listed Kingdom Holding.
Kingdom Holding announced in 2022 that the Saudi government Public Investment Fund bought a nearly 16.9% stake from Alwaleed for $1.6 billion.
Personally and through Kingdom Holding, Alwaleed has invested in both X (formerly Twitter) and Elon Musk's related firm, xAI.
Outside of Kingdom Holding, he owns real estate in Saudi Arabia, Arabic-language movie and music firm Rotana and an estimated 1.5% stake in social media firm Snap.
Forbes dropped Alwaleed and other Saudi billionaires from the list in 2018 following the 2017 months-long detainment of Alwaleed and others by the Saudi government.
In 2025, Forbes decided to include Alwaleed and other Saudis on the annual billionaires list again.
