The richest man in Saudi Arabia was arrested for corruption, and his luxury toys surprised people. Why?

The toys in the eyes of Walid, the richest man in Saudi Arabia, are yachts, private jets, luxury hotels and quite a few world-famous luxury cars. When his luxury toys were exposed, it really made people exclaim that poverty limited our imagination.

Walid is a very famous investment businessman in Saudi Arabia and is known as "Buffett in the Middle East". The companies he has invested in include Apple, ebay, Twitter, Amazon, McDonald's, Pepsi, JD.COM, Citibank and other world-renowned companies. With these investments, Walid's net worth has exceeded $20 billion, making him the richest man in Saudi Arabia. However, in the "anti-corruption storm" initiated by Saudi Crown Prince Salman, Walid was arrested for corruption.

Walid is a yacht lover. He bought a yacht from the current US President Trump in the late 1980s. Sitting on this yacht, he can enjoy the unique scenery of the sea at will every day. Although this yacht is luxurious enough, it is obvious that he is not satisfied. Later, he ordered a new yacht with a cost as high as 500 million dollars. Because it is too luxurious, it has not been built yet.

Another big deal is to buy Airbus A380 as its own private jet. At that time, the price of the plane was $3,654,388+0.9 million, but after modification and decoration, the cost exceeded $500 million. Not only that, he also owns a peddler plane and another Boeing 747 with a cost of $220 million. These planes are luxuriously decorated.

His favorite toy was the famous Four Seasons Hotel George V, which cost him 300 million dollars. However, after renovation, its value has doubled and it has become the world's top hotel. Not only that, he has many luxury hotels all over the world, so he can basically stay in his own private hotel wherever he wants to go.

Private jets and yachts for vacation are inseparable from luxury cars. For example, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, etc., Walid has collected almost the top luxury cars in the world, and in order to ensure safety, each luxury car is equipped with two identical cars, so the number of his luxury cars is still unknown. No one knows how many luxury cars he has, but the most famous one is a Mercedes-Benz SL600 covered with 300,000 diamonds.

It is difficult for ordinary people to own one of Walid's luxury toys, so when his toys are made public, how can it not surprise people?
