I doubt it was earned by the hard work of the royal family.

As far as I know they exploit every possibility, every foreign worker, every deal with the US to maximize their profits - on the back of their partners.

The House of Saud did not exactly rise to the top of the kingdom by being Mr. Nice Guys. The Mexican cartels have learned some good techniques from the Saudis, Russians, Israeli about how to deal with "problems".

Anyhoo - nice to hear your voice! Looking forward to more exchanges.
