Why is the Saudi royal family so Rich

The Saudi royal family is estimated to have tens of thousands of people. Different institutions have made different guesses about the number of princes - according to the New York Post, there are 7,000 princes, which is almost one prince for every 1,000 Saudis.

After World War II, as the world economy recovered, the demand for oil increased. Saudi oil production has also increased significantly. However, due to the plunder and control of Saudi oil by American oil companies, a large amount of oil revenue does not belong to Saudi Arabia. According to the original agreement, the Saudi Arabian government received only US$1.65 in oil field royalties for every ton of oil extracted, equivalent to one-tenth of its profits.

During this period, members of the Saudi royal family and the Kingdom’s government did not directly operate various businesses. They relied on income from the Hajj and taxes paid by foreign oil companies to maintain the expenses of the royal family and the government every year. When the Saudi government nationalized the oil exploration rights, the wealth of the Saudi royal family exploded.

After the 1960s, Saudi Arabia began to establish state-owned enterprises, jointly-owned companies and jointly-owned enterprises with foreign capital, which generated corporate income. In name, the property of the Crown Prince is also the property of the royal family. After oil prices increased in the 1970s, Saudi Arabia's oil revenue reached US$38 billion in 1977, its total foreign assets were US$66 billion, and its annual interest income reached US$4.4 billion.

When Saudi Arabia became the largest oil-rich country, its royal family also became the richest royal family in the world.

*** The richest among the countries is Saudi Arabia and some neighboring rich and oil-rich small countries (with small land area). But they took advantage of a rich natural resource - oil. So they are all countries with good economies.

Why is Saudi Arabia so rich?

Saudi Arabia has a vast territory and a large population. There is only one large supermarket within a few kilometers of the urban area, let alone in remote areas. When we were doing projects in Zavar, the nearest supermarket was 300 kilometers away from the project. Without cars, their efficiency would be unimaginable. And you know (think about the high temperature of 40 or 50 degrees in summer).

(To go a bit further) Compared with China, the advantages of driving in Saudi Arabia are: ① The purchase price of cars is low, about 40% to 60% of the domestic market price; ② The price of gasoline is extremely low, 95# gasoline The price is about one yuan per liter; ③ there are no tolls on highways; ④ most parking lots are free; ⑤ there are less traffic jams on the roads.

Saudi families basically live in single villas (except for those who raise camels in the desert), and most of them are two or three floors.

Are the Saudis rich?

The Saudi royal family is very wealthy, and most of the royal family members live in Riyadh, Yanbu and Jubail. I learned from my Saudi colleagues that the royal family occupies 90% of the country’s land, while ordinary people only occupy 6% of the land, and the remainder is public facilities.

I once heard a Chinese say that the Saudi Arabian government will distribute money to the people every month, and each woman can receive 5,000 riyals (approximately 9,000 yuan) per month. Not long ago, I learned from a colleague in Saudi Arabia that that happened many years ago, and now *** no longer pays out money.

Saudi women have only been allowed to work in recent years, so Saudi family income basically comes from their husbands. Salaries for Saudis are indeed very high. A janitor at the Royal Commission can get 8,000 riyals per month. Saudis are relatively lazy and inefficient, but all companies developing locally must recruit a certain percentage of locals to meet the Saudi Arabianization ratio requirements. Employed locals do not have to go to work and receive a monthly salary.

Saudi Arabia provides free education and medical care to its citizens.

In fact, 20% of the people in Saudi Arabia are still in poverty (in fact, they have reached the level of moderate prosperity in China), and they need relief from the government and community residents. For those who are Shia (10%), it is just about the community supporting each other. [Saudi Islam has two sects: Sunni (90%) and Shia (10%). With Sunni in power, one can imagine the treatment of Shia.

Why is Saudi Arabia so rich but unable to become a world or regional power/hegemon?

< p> First of all, the real tycoons in Saudi Arabia are the royal family, and not all ordinary people are tycoons. According to estimates by Saudi experts, the net worth of the Saudi royal family reaches US$1.4 trillion, and a considerable amount of oil wealth is concentrated in the royal family. The monthly salary of a Saudi prince is US$200,000 to US$270,000. In addition, the Saudi royal family also has business income from family companies, which can be said to be as wealthy as the country.

Secondly, Saudi Arabia is only economically prosperous and weak in overall national strength. From a resource perspective, Saudi Arabia holds one-fifth of the world's oil and is the world's largest oil producer and exporter. Oil alone is sufficient for food and drink, but there is no power or resources to engage in industry, so there is no complete industrial system. In other aspects, science and technology, political system, etc. are relatively backward, so the overall national strength is weak.

Third, there are challenges from the traditional "ally" the United States and the Persian Gulf oil-producing countries.

From this point of view, Saudi Arabia is not a developed country. Most of their fiscal revenue comes from oil, and this is not a significant amount. With sustainable development, one barrel of oil will be used and one less barrel will be used.
