Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (; born 30 July 1954) is a member of the Saudi Royal Family.
He is the nephew of the Saudi Arabian King Abdullah.
An entrepreneur and international investor but without real political power within the House of Saud or in Saudi Arabia, he has amassed a fortune through investments in real estate and the stock market.
As of March 2010, his net worth is estimated at US$19.4 billion, up from $13.3 billion, according to Forbes, making him the 19th richest person in the world on their list published in March 2010.
He has been nicknamed by Time magazine as the Arabian Warren Buffett.
Talal bought the super yacht Kingdom5KR.
It had been owned by Donald Trump and called the "Trump Princess".
The yacht, built in 1979, was used in the James Bond movie, Never Say Never Again.
It has 11 cabins, can take 22 guests and has a crew of 31.
On 4 November 2017, he was arrested in Saudi Arabia, in an anti-corruption raid,  together with, among others, Waleed bin Ibrahim Al Ibrahim and Saleh Abdullah Kamel.
Al-Waleed was released from detention on 27 January 2018, following a financial settlement of some kind, after nearly three months in detention.
In March 2018 he was dropped from the World's Billionaires list due to lack of current information.
Al-Waleed was born in Jeddah on 30 July 1954 to Prince Talal bin Abdul-Aziz, long-time-known as The Red Prince, and Mona Al Solh, daughter of Riad Al Solh (Lebanon's first prime minister).

He qualified as a medical practitioner in 1895 and received his DSc in 1905 from the University of Glasgow.
In 1893 he married Mary Baird Baillie.
Broom was first known for his study of mammal-like reptiles.
After Raymond Dart's discovery of the Taung Child, an infant australopithecine, Broom's interest in palaeoanthropology was heightened.
Broom's career seemed over and he was sinking into poverty, when Dart wrote to Jan Smuts about the situation.
Smuts put pressure on the South African government, and managed to get a position for Broom.
In 1934 he joined the staff of the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria as Assistant in Palaeontology.
In the following years, he and John T. Robinson made a series of spectacular finds, including fragments from six hominids in Sterkfontein, which they named Plesianthropus transvaalensis, but which was later classified as an adult Australopithecus africanus, as well as more discoveries at sites in Kromdraai and Swartkrans.
In 1937, Broom made his most famous discovery of Paranthropus robustus.
These discoveries helped support Dart's claims for the Taung species.
The remainder of Broom's career was devoted to the exploration of these sites and the interpretation of the many early hominid remains discovered there.
For his volume, The South Africa fossil ape-men, the Australopithecinae, in which he proposed the Australopithecinae subfamily, Broom was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences in 1946.
He continued to write to the very last.
Shortly before his death he finished a monograph on the Australopithecines and remarked to his nephew:
"Now that's finished ... and so am I".
Assessment of his work
"More than any scientist before or since, Broom's work on Australopithecus fundamentally revised the study of fossil man... The significant point is that Broom assigned all except one of these to a single zoological subfamily  the australopithecines, and made it quite clear that [they] were good candidates for the ancestry of mankind".

Open Season is a 2006 animated-comedy movie that was directed by Jill Culton, Roger Allers, and Anthony Stacchi and produced by Michelle Murdocca, Amy Jupiter, Steve Moore, and John B. Carls.
The movie was released on September 29, 2006 and received mixed reviews from reviewers.
In the tranquil town of Timberline, 900-pound grizzly bear Boog (Martin Lawrence) enjoys a captive, but happy existence.
He spends his day as the star attraction of the town's nature show and spends his nights living the life of luxury in the garage of the park ranger Beth (Debra Messing), who raised Boog since he was a cub.
One day, the hunting fanatic Shaw (Gary Sinise) drives into town with the one-antlered buck mule deer, Elliot (Ashton Kutcher) strapped to the hood of his truck.
Boog accidentally wakes him and the two scream in terror.
With Boog reluctant to intervene, Elliot begs Boog to help.
At the last minute and against his better judgement, Boog frees Elliot before Shaw can go after him.
Boog never expects to see his "buddy" again.
Elliot follows Boog home and finds him sleeping in the garage and starts to throw rabbits at the window to wake him.
Elliot tells Boog the he is intent on returning the favor by "freeing" him from his garage captivity.
Boog refuses to go with Elliot, but he still goes with Elliot when Elliot shows him a chocolate bar (which he calls a Woo Hoo Bar) and tells him that they can get more outside.
Elliot begins to introduce Boog to a world of sweet temptations outside of the garage that he has never known.
The two head for "Puni Mart", a convenience store.
Boog and Elliot ransack the Puni Mart, causing a mess.
Elliot escapes before Boog is caught by a friend of Beth, Sheriff Gordy (Gordon Tootoosis).
Back home, Gordy tells Beth that it would be better if Boog were released into the wild.
During the nature show, Elliot, chased by Shaw, runs backstage and locks the door.
Boog gets mad remembering the events Elliot made him go through.
Boog attacks the buck, making the audience panic (because it looks as of Boog is killing Elliot behind the curtain) before Boog threatens to kill Elliot.
The two crash out of the curtains.
Shaw prepares to shoot Boog, but the bear is instead shot by Beth with a tranquilizer gun; she shoots Elliot as well (six times in the butt).
The duo are released into the Timberline National Forest, only three days before the start of open season.
Boog wakes up and realizes he has been released into the forest, and threatens to throw Elliot off a cliff, stating that Elliot drove him to this.
Boog eventually throws Elliot into the air rather than throwing him off the cliff.
Elliot's antlers get stuck in the ground, and while Boog goes around the forest in circles in search of Timberline, Elliot tries to break free.
Boog decides to get familiar with the forest and tries to climb up a tree, but is attacked by a Scottish red squirrel called McSquizzy (Billy Connolly) and his gang.
Soon, Boog gives up and frees Elliot and takes him as his hapless guide to get him back home to Timberline to reunite with Beth.
But in the woods, they quickly learn that it's every animal for itself.
The two run into their share of the forest animals including hot-tempered skunks (Nika Futterman and Michelle Murdocca), psychotic ducks (Danny Mann and Maddie Taylor) and panic-stricken rabbits.
They also run into critters such as Reilly (Jon Favreau) and his beaver construction worker team, and a porcupine (Maddie Taylor) who's in search of a buddy.
With each adverse encounter, Boog learns a little about self-reliance and Elliot gains self-respect.
Elliot finds his herd crush, a pretty female, Giselle (Jane Krakowski), but is also found by the herd leader, Ian (Patrick Warburton), a "jock" mule deer who had forced Elliot out of the herd before.
They walk away from Ian's taunting, realizing that they've obtained true friendship.
Elliot tries to lead Boog out of the forest, but gets lost.
Boog realizes they are meeting the same animals again and again.
After winding up at Reilly's dam, Boog and Elliot are confronted by Shaw.
Boog tries to run over the dam, but it's not a "load bearing structure".
It breaks under his weight and the rush of water washes everyone in the forest, including Shaw, to the clearing below the 'falls.
Everyone blames Boog, but he accuses Elliot of lying to him about leading him home.
Elliot confesses, saying he wanted Boog as a friend and thought if they just spent time together it would work out.
Angry, Boog leaves, attempting to find Timberline on his own.
He unwittingly find Shaw's log cabin.
Shaw discovers him and pursues him.
Boog flees to the city road where he finds trucks with hunters in them, zooming past him and he soon finds the glowing lights of Timberline.
Instead of deserting his companions, Boog decides to take Elliot with him, but the other animals want to live in the garage too, but they realize there is no way out because the hunters have already gathered around the forest.
Boog decides that they should defend themselves, and they collect supplies from Bob and Bobby's (two scientists) RV while their pet dachshund Mr. Weenie (Cody Cameron) joins the animals.
The following day, Boog witnesses the hunters coming, and sends a signal to the animals by flinging one of the mule deers of the herd in the air.
Elliot receives the signal and sends out the ducks, who are carrying skunks, into the air, causing stinky green air to flow around the forest.
Meanwhile, Elliot and the squirrels ride on the mule deers and charge.
On the other side, Boog and the other animals charge too, causing a big rampage.
The ducks drop a tank of gas (called "Mr. Happy" by McSquizzy) onto one of the hunters trucks, but it goes out, so McSquizzy flings some dynamite into the air, and all the trucks blow up, and the hunters all run away.
All the animals start celebrating.
Suddenly, Shaw appears, and attempts to kill Boog with his gun, but Elliot shoots things that they had stolen from the RV.
One of the objects hits the gun, and the gun falls out of reach.
Shaw then proceeds to attack Boog with his hunting knife.
Boog beats him with a golf club Elliot had shot.
Shaw, within reaching distance of his gun, grabs it, and attempts to shoot Boog.
Elliot takes the bullet meant for Boog, enraging Boog who tackles Shaw, roars loudly in his face, then ties him up with his own gun.
Boog finds that Elliot survived the wound, only losing his second antler in the fight.
Beth returns to take Boog back home where he will be safe, but he instead stays with his friends.
They both realize that the bear is at home in the forest.
Earlier, the animals attack Shaw, pouring honey and putting feathers on Shaw.
Finally, Shaw is free and with panic runs into the forest.

The idea for the movie came from cartoonist Steve Moore, known for his comic strip In the Bleachers.
Moore and producer John Carls submitted the story to Sony in June 2002, and the movie immediately went into development.
On February 29, 2004, Sony Pictures Animation announced the beginning of the production on its first CGI animated feature, Open Season.
The movie location was inspired by the towns of Sun Valley, Idaho and McCall, Idaho, and the Sawtooth National Forest.
References to the Lawn Lake, Colorado, Dam flood, Longs Peak, and other points of interest in the area are depicted in the movie.
Open Season received mixed reviews from critics.
Critics of Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie 48% with the consensus "Open Season is a cliched palette of tired jokes and CG animal shenanigans that have been seen multiple times this cinematic year."
Kevin Smith gave the movie a good review during an appearance as a guest critic on At the Movies with Ebert and Roeper saying "If your kids like poop jokes as much as I do, Open Season will put a big smile on their faces."
However, Richard Roeper gave the movie a mixed review saying "It's just okay, the animation is uninspired."
The movie opened #1 with $23 million on its opening weekend.
It grossed $85.1 million in the United States and $104.8 million in foreign countries making $189.9 million worldwide.
Rolling Stone gave the movie's soundtrack three stars out of five, as did Allmusic.
Open Season was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and UMD Video on January 30, 2007.
It was later released on 3D Blu-ray on November 16, 2010.
A TV show, Boog and Elliot's Big Adventure, was to air in March 2012.
Open Season was given two direct-to-video sequels: Open Season 2 (which was in 2009), and Open Season 3 (which was in 2011).

The Honda Civic is a subcompact and compact car that is built by the Honda company.
The Civic has had 11 generations.
The Honda Civic has been built and sold since 1972.
The Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto were rolling sacrifices amid an international fuel crisis, but the small and efficient Civic felt like perfect timing.
Honda offered the first-gen Civic as both a three-door hatchback and sedan.
The sedan version essentially was exactly like the hatchback, except that the conventional trunk lid and fixed rear seat of the sedan were replaced by an upward-hinged rear window and a fold-down seat in the hatchback.
Wheels were 12 inches in diameter, and radial tires, A/C, a two-speed automatic transmission, and a rear hatch wiper were the only options.
The 8th and later generation Civics have a digital speedometer.
The Civic DX, LX, LX-S / Sport, and EX are available with an automatic or manual transmission.
The highest trim levels are the Civic Si and Type R, which are only available with a manual transmission and come with a more powerful engine.
The Acura CSX, sold only in Canada, is nearly identical to the eighth generation (2006-2011) Civic.

Lake Turkana, formerly known as Lake Rudolf, is a lake in the Great Rift Valley in northwest Kenya.
Its far northern end crosses into Ethiopia.
It is the world's largest permanent desert lake and the world's largest alkaline lake.
By volume it is the world's fourth-largest salt lake after the Caspian Sea, Issyk-Kul Lake and the (shrinking) Aral Sea.
Among all lakes, it ranks 24th in area.
The water is drinkable, but not palatable.
It supports a rich lacustrine wildlife.
The climate is hot and very dry.
The rocks of the surrounding area are predominantly volcanic.
Central Island is an active volcano, emitting vapors.
Outcrops and rocky shores are found on the East and South shores of the lake, while dunes, spits and flats are on the West and North, at a lower elevation.
On-shore and off-shore winds can be extremely strong as the lake warms and cools more slowly than the land.
Sudden, violent storms are frequent.
Three rivers (the Omo, Turkwel and Kerio) flow into the lake, but lacking outflow, its only water loss is by evaporation.
Lake volume and dimensions are variable.
For example, its level fell by  between 1975 and 1993.
Due to temperature, aridity and geographic inaccessibility, the lake retains its wild character.
Many Nile crocodiles are  on the flats.
Although the lake and its environs have been popular for expeditions of every sort under the tutelage of guides, rangers and experienced persons, they certainly must be considered hazardous for unguided tourists.
Lake Turkana National Parks are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sibiloi National Park lies on the lake's eastern shore, while Central Island National Park and South Island National Park are in the lake.
Both have crocodiles.
The Lake Turkana area is regarded by many anthropologists as the cradle of humankind because there are many hominid fossils.
The skeleton of Turkana boy was found near the lake in 1984.
