Top 5 Real Estate Billionaires in the World

4. Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, Saudi Arabia

Net Worth: $22.7 billion

Who can forget the Middle East when it comes to business and money? The region is famous for its wealthy sheiks, skyscrapers, luxury construction projects, and of course, real estate developers.

One of the wealthiest real estate tycoons from Saudi Arabia is Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud. His massive property portfolio enjoys a net worth of at least $22.7 billion.

The Prince controls a number of companies including the popular Kingdom Holding Company. The firm actively invests in real estate development, hotels, hospitality, retail, entertainment, petrochemical, aviation, tourism, and agriculture. The Saudi company’s most noticeable trading endeavors include Twitter, Snap, Lyft, and Citigroup.

According to Lamudi, the prince owns some of the world’s most luxurious hotels in Paris, London, and Saudi Arabia. That’s probably why the Times magazine calls him, ‘The Arabian Warren Buffett’.

The other investment endeavors of the Prince include Coca-Cola, Priceline.com, WorldCom, and Ford Motors Company. He is also a chief shareholder in all the notable companies in Africa, Middle East, and Europe. In 2018, his net worth was estimated at $37 billion which dropped after his arrest.
