Princess Maha Al-Sudairi

Princess Maha Bint Mohammed Bin Ahmad Al-Sudairi, ex-wife and cousin of the late Prince Nayef, is world famous for many reasons. One is that she was featured in a spread for Vanity Fair. She’s notorious for spending lavishly. In fact, she spent five months during 2012 with a posse living at Paris’ Shangri-La Hotel. Then she even tried to leave without paying any of the $7 million bill! Finally, the debt was paid off by 2013, but Maha is prohibited from leaving Saudi Arabia now.

Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal

Ah, Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud! This nephew of the late King Adbullah was the richest man in all of Saudi Arabia! The best part…he plans to donate all of that money he made from investments to charity! However, he was dropped from the World Billionaires list after a financial settlement in early 2018. Prince Al-Waleed and other officials had been arrested in late 2017 during a purge of the government, but he settled and got released in January 2018. He was previously married to Princess Ameerah.
