Prince Al-Walid bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, born 7 March 1955 and commonly known as Prince Al-Walid, is a member of the Saudi Royal Family, and an entrepreneur and international investor.

He has been nicknamed by Time magazine as the Arabian Warren Buffett.

Already an owner of a Boeing 747 jet converted to private use, at the 2007 Dubai Air Show Al-Walid was confirmed by Airbus the prospective owner of the first private Airbus A380, the worlds largest airplane.

It's a sad commentary on a country when a prince can afford two huge planes while most of the people live in poverty.

Prince Mulhabb from Dubai.

Answer 5

Yep, that Saudi prince. Airbus will have the plane ready for him in 2010.

I don't think there are a lot of poor people living in Saudi Arabia. They are a rich oil country with many rich people.

I agree to say: it's a sad commentary to know someone could afford private jets (not just this Saudi prince, u know), while deep poverty stil exist in many parts of the world.
