What is King Salman’s net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth estimates $20 billion. The figure reflects a share of Al Saud family wealth rather than a disclosed personal portfolio.
Sources of wealth
Senior Saudi princes have historically received allowances, land allocations and stakes in companies linked to state contracts. The royal family’s collective holdings include property, equity and international investments.
The 2017 anti-corruption campaign centred on the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh ended with settlements reported in the tens of billions, though details were never published.
How the fortune was built
Salman was governor of Riyadh province from 1963 to 2011, a period in which the capital grew from a small city into a metropolis. He then served as defence minister and crown prince.
Since 2017 his son Mohammed bin Salman has run day-to-day government as crown prince and prime minister.
How we estimate it
We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Saudi royal finances are not disclosed, so the figure is an approximation of family wealth.
