What is Prince Al-Waleed’s net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth estimates $17 billion, well below the peak of more than $20 billion reported a decade ago.
Sources of wealth
Kingdom Holding holds stakes in Citigroup, Four Seasons hotels, Accor and various technology positions, alongside property in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Its shares trade on the Tadawul exchange, which gives a partial market value for the portfolio, though the prince’s assets extend beyond it.
How the fortune was built
He started with a loan from his father, built a contracting business, and became known for large contrarian bets: Citigroup during the 2008 crisis, and early positions in Apple and Twitter.
He was detained for nearly three months in 2017 in the Ritz-Carlton campaign and later said he reached a settlement. He has since taken a lower public profile.
How we estimate it
We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Kingdom Holding is listed, but private assets and settlement terms are not public.
