Saudi Figures Are Making Global Wealth Rankings For The First Time In 8 Years

Saudi billionaires are making headlines — and for good reason!

For the first time since 2017, Saudis are back on Forbes’ prestigious World’s Billionaires list, and they’re topping the Arab charts in a big way

With 15 Saudis now officially part of the 2025 club, the Kingdom holds the largest billionaire count in the Arab world.

The combined wealth of these Saudi moguls is an jaw-dropping $55.8 billion, making up nearly half of all Arab billionaire wealth this year

At the top of the list is none other than Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, with a cool $16.5 billion to his name. He’s joined by notable names like Dr. Sulaiman Al-Habib from healthcare and the Al-Muhaidib brothers in diversified industries.

What’s driving the surge?

A wave of successful IPOs and economic growth post-COVID has opened doors for 14 newcomers to rise to billionaire status — a major comeback for Saudi’s financial elite.

This year’s list isn’t just about money — it’s about momentum.

Saudi Arabia is clearly on the rise, and the numbers prove it!
