Ballin’! The richest Muslim businessman in the world is the nephew of King Abdullah also known as al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud. If you haven’t heard already, he’s dropping around $2 billion to $6.88 billion to the currently failing American financial organization known as Citi or Citigroup (Citibank). Citi recently reported losses up to and more than $10 billion which shocked Wall Street. With the investments from Prince al-Waleed and others (Kuwaiti and Chinese investors) Citi hopes to cover their losses and improve their status. Oh yeah, the new CEO of Citi was born in Bombay, India: Vikram Pandit.
May Allah guide Prince al-Waleed. Ameen.

He is rich, but he’s definitely not the richest Muslim in the world.
What a waste. He should’ve invested in alternative energies. That would be an AMAZING and PROFITABLE investment in the upcoming years.
Why is he investing in a Ribaa bank?
This is not the first time he’s done this.
But it’s haram to have a mawlid…?
He’s already the largest individual shareholder for Citi – definitely in his best interest – not a waste
I thought he owned a large portion of Citibank already?
People may be confused about this, but just because a random saudi does haram it does not leave the door open for others to do haram.
And Allah knows best!
