What is Mohammed bin Salman’s net worth?

Net Worth Watch estimates the fortune at $5 billion in November 2026. Mohammed bin Salman became the dominant figure in Saudi government and controls the Public Investment Fund, a sovereign vehicle with hundreds of billions in assets. His personal wealth is separate but hard to untangle.

Most of the total sits in assets that are not priced daily, so the figure is a considered estimate rather than a bank balance. The profile below sets out each component and how firm it is.

Sources of wealth

The fortune divides into three main parts: state investment funds and family assets.

  • Public Investment Fund Sovereign fund he chairs, held on behalf of the state.
  • Reported private assets Property, yachts and aircraft described in press reports.
  • Family business Interests connected to the wider Al Saud family.

How the fortune was built

He was named crown prince in 2017 and has driven Vision 2030, the plan to move the economy beyond oil, with projects such as Neom and stakes in global sports and technology companies.

The PIF is state property, not personal wealth, but reported estimates of his own holdings include property abroad, yacht and aircraft assets and family business interests, which is where the figure comes from.

This is one of the least verifiable numbers on the site: Saudi royal finances are not disclosed and most reporting relies on unnamed sources.

How we estimate it

We start from the best available record of what the person owns: company filings, stock exchange positions, property registers, investigative reporting and, for historical figures, reconstructions of the assets they controlled. Where a holding is private we compare it with listed peers, and where the record is thin we say so in the profile.

Figures are shown in US dollars and reviewed on the date at the top of the page. A net worth is not the same as annual income, and it can move sharply when markets or currencies move.
