Billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud ordered the customised Airbus A380 three years ago
He already owns a customised 747, an Airbus 231 and a luxury yacht featured in a James Bond film
Jet will boast luxury suites as well as a prayer room with electronic mats which automatically turn towards mecca

When you have £16billion in the bank, a Cessna is simply not an option. Instead, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud is about to take delivery of an Airbus A380, the world’s biggest private jet. The same model is used by Singapore Airlines and Emirates and can fly 800 passengers 8,000 miles before refuelling. But the Saudi prince doesn’t need 800 seats, so he will have them removed to make room for an opulent, marble-finished Turkish bath and a parking space for his Rolls-Royce.The plane will even boast a dedicated prayer area, in which computer-generated mats move to point towards Mecca. The Western-educated prince, 57, is known as the Warren Buffett of the Middle East because of his reputation as a shrewd investor. He also owns 7 per cent of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. The new airliner joins Prince Alwaleed’s stable of private jets, including a modified Boeing 747 and an Airbus 321. He is also the proud owner of a 280ft superyacht, 5KR, formerly owned by Donald Trump, which featured in the Bond film, Never Say Never Again.

Even Allah can't boast of this in heaven, hell, abi where him dey again?

Yet the women are religiously suppressed guided.

Last I heard, Saudi women arent even allowed to drive a keke napep, talk less of dreaming of private jet this magnificent.

Aunty ema gba research ki eto ma jabo.

He's a business tycoon and also made is money legitimately... Not what you think in regards to naija.

Any saudi citizen that's willing to study abroad will be given $4000 or more monthly, depends on the major he/she choose. (witness to this).

He's the 16th richest man in the world according to wiki.

Their women are not complaining of oppression from their men and you hardly hear of separation not to talk of divorce...

When it comes to beauty... Their ladies are number 1 in the world... Ask those who have visit mecca like me.

The poorest man in saudi is richer than the middle income earner in USA.

To cover it up.... Its either saudi, kuwait, jordan, qatar or Oman imma be spendin the rest of ma life.

Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has long been my mentor in plush living. His life is a fairy tale, and the guy has got incredible panache and finesse. His' is the ultimate billionaire lifestyle. . .the sort that dreams are made of.

Best part is that he made much of his fortune the 'Forbes' way. . . Through smart investments and shrewd business moves - not necessarily by directly pillaging from Saudi Arabia's petrodollars.

I thought the jet was already delivered and was hoping to see actual pictures.

LOL How did i know this ashewo wouldnt talk about Saudi women

Thanks for the heads up tho

When it comes divorce, don't think that lack of divorce in one region equates to female satisfaction. Anywaz, are we talking about the 2011 40% divorce rate report in Saudi?


PS: Jor tell me about line 3, sentence in parenthesis

blink182: I thought the jet was already delivered and was hoping to see actual pictures.

Lol. If it was already delivered, there's no way we would see actual pictures of the interior. We know how these billionaires cherish their privacy/security. No be P Square we dey talk about here, wey sabi snap picture of their toilet and everything else to show off.

"One factor that could tip the scales toward modernity is the King Abdullah Scholarship Program that has sent some 140,000 Saudi students to study abroad. Started in 2005, the scholarship program has so far cost the government more than 20 billion riyals ($5.3 billion); it covers all tuition plus living expenses. For women, who make up just over 20 percent of the scholarship recipients (and one-third of the recipients in the U.S.), the government grant also pays for a male escort (typically a husband, but sometimes a brother) who is required to travel with her. Fully half of the students are studying in the United States. That makes Saudi Arabia the third largest source of foreign students in the US, behind only China and India. Just to put that in perspective, Saudi Arabia’s population is about one-fiftieth of those Asian giants."

"The foreign scholarship program can create challenges for some students, particularly women, when they try to reintegrate into Saudi society after experiencing much more freedom abroad, some foreign students say. Unlike many international students who study in the U.S., most Saudis return to their home country after receiving their degrees, said James B. Smith, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia since 2009."
