Having all that money makes you wonder where it came from. His wealth partly comes from his majority share in Dubai Holding and his assets with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority where he invests in new companies and businesses.
With his money, he is known for donating it to different charities. In his studies, he created a vision for a better society which is a goal he still is actively working towards.

Saudi Royal Family
Estimated net worth: 1.7 trillion The family that rules Saudi Arabia, otherwise known as The House of Saud, have been ruling their kingdom for over 200 years. With a land rich in oil and natural resources, the family was already set up to be quite a bit wealthier than any other kingdom. But, what sets them apart is their business and investments.
The royal family is substantially larger than European royals such as the British or the Dutch. King Salman, for example, has no less than 13 children and other members of his family have a similar number of kids. Exponential growth is the key to those numbers.
The Saudi Arabian prince owns many expensive possessions, but perhaps one of the most lavish ones is his double-decker private jet that started at the price of $300 million!

The Instagram account of one of the other Saudi princes is bursting with pictures that scream "I'm richer than anyone you'll ever meet". Take the pictures of his golden cars for example. You can see them driving around Europe as he literally flies them with him when he goes abroad.
The estimated cost of plating each of his cars in gold is about around $5,000, and sending such a car overseas costs about $25,000 using Qatar Airways. One of the prince's Instagram videos shows him driving a Mercedez chasing a camel through the desert.
