The jet-setting prince is transforming himself into a businessman-cum-political-activist. Sure, he's still got his $10 billion stake in Citigroup. But in Saudi Arabia this nephew of the king has called for a range of reforms: elections, women's rights and job creation. And he's publicly criticized the state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco. Plus, he's a vocal supporter of the U.S.—and has set up centers at universities in Cairo and Beirut to teach the American political system. On his latest spin through the U.S., in January, he met with former U.S. Presidents Carter, Clinton and Bush to talk about what he calls "narrowing the gap between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia."
The guy's net worth is 21 Billion. Sounds more like a savvy businessman than a political activist to me.
A savvy businessman??? Its pretty easy when you are born with a ruby and diamond encrusted platinum spoon with gold trim in your mouth!!
He inherited 15 billion and ran it into a fortune
