I just came across a pretty interesting investment story. This Saudi prince, Alwaleed Bin Talal Al Saud, has recently re-entered the Forbes billionaire list with a net worth of $16.5 billion, making him the wealthiest person in the Arab world. But what interests me more isn't how much he has, but how he spends his money.

This person's investment strategy is really worth paying attention to. He manages through the Kingdom Holding Group, which was founded 45 years ago and now has an investment portfolio worth $19 billion. The key point is that he doesn't put all his money in one place but has investments across 18 different industries—from financial services, entertainment, and aviation to artificial intelligence, education, and healthcare. This kind of diversification is quite uncommon among many wealthy individuals.

In the tech sector, he is the second-largest investor in Elon Musk's xAI, having added $800 million last year. He also holds shares in platforms like Meta, Uber, and Lyft. He entered the market when Musk acquired Twitter and is still betting on the merger of X and xAI, predicting that his investment could eventually reach $4 to $5 billion.

The hotel industry accounts for about 31% of his portfolio. He collaborates with Bill Gates, holding approximately 23.7% of Four Seasons. He also invested in the French hotel group Accor, owning 6.8% of it. In real estate, the Jeddah Tower, a project over 1,000 meters tall, is his.

Interestingly, this Saudi prince invested in Citigroup as early as 1991, putting in $800 million, which appreciated to $10 billion by 2005. He still holds a 1.06% stake in Citigroup.

From his investment logic, it’s clear he’s not betting on a single hot spot but building a multi-dimensional asset portfolio. This long-term and diversified approach is especially rare in today’s market environment. His fortune comes from this strategic patience and keen sense of opportunities across different fields. Recently, he also plans to take his low-cost airline Flynas public on the Saudi stock exchange, aiming to raise at least $2 billion. This Arab Saudi investor is truly demonstrating what real wealth management looks like through concrete actions.
