I read Alwaleed’s book several years ago – I like to follow his developments more from a Forbess 500 point of view than anything else.


Introduction (Via Charlie Rose)


Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is here. He`s chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company, the Saudi investment firm with billions invested across the globe. “Forbes” ranks him as one of the world`s 25 wealthiest people. “Time” magazine once dubbed him the “Arabian Warren Buffett.”


His firm has major stakes in banks, real estate, hotels, and media companies. His largest investment is in Citigroup, the embattled bank where he is the largest shareholder. The economic crisis has taken a toll on his holdings. He recently injected nearly $600 million of his personal wealth into his firm after a year of steep losses.


His interests are not confined to business. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is his uncle and he is a member of the royal family. I am pleased to have anymore the studio this time for a conversation about him and his investments and how he sees the world. Welcome.
